“I said it earlier whem I first came. This is the type of players we should get rid of. We lost against Fulham was because for them”-Sir Jim Ratcliffe has made brutal decision on two Manchester United players just one week after takeover

Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s acquisition of a minority stake in Manchester United has been finalized, marking INEOS’s official entry into the ownership of the renowned club. With this development, Ratcliffe, wasting no time, is already making decisions regarding players who may not fit into the club’s future plans.

INEOS’s substantial £1.25 billion investment grants them approximately 25 percent ownership of Manchester United, effectively transferring football operations under their purview. While the Glazer family retains the majority of the club’s shares, their control is no longer absolute.

Manchester United opted for a quiet January transfer window, mirroring the trend observed across the Premier League. Presently, they occupy the sixth position in the Premier League standings, striving to secure Champions League qualification for the upcoming season.

The recent setback, a 2-1 defeat against Fulham at Old Trafford, further underscores the urgency for United to bridge the gap for Champions League contention. Amidst this scenario, the impending transfer window raises numerous questions about the future of several players within the squad.

INEOS’s maiden summer tenure at Old Trafford anticipates significant activity, with both arrivals and departures expected. Among the identified candidates for potential exits, midfielders Casemiro and Sofyan Amrabat have surfaced as noteworthy names.

According to reports from The Sun, Amrabat’s loan spell from Fiorentina is poised to conclude without a permanent transfer agreement. Similarly, Casemiro, who arrived from Real Madrid in 2022 for an initial fee of £60 million, faces potential sale should United secure a suitable buyer.

To address potential voids left by departing players, United are rumored to be eyeing a surprising move for Luton Town midfielder Ross Barkley during the upcoming transfer window.

With these developments, Manchester United fans can anticipate an intriguing and eventful summer on the transfer front as the club navigates its evolution under the stewardship of INEOS.
