It is very evident that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will not squander any time in re-establishing Manchester United’s utmost standards, both on and off the field.
Erik ten Hag’s underachieving players may be due for some unpleasant news this summer as his merciless reconstruction continues and INEOS’ authority seeps into Old Trafford.
Since Ratcliffe’s £1.3 billion acquisition for a 28 percent interest and control of all football activities became public in February, United have seen substantial upheaval.
Omar Berrada has taken over as CEO from Richard Arnold, while John Murtough is among the notable figures who have left to make room for Dan Ashworth, who will be joining the team as the new sports director.
The appointments are not anticipated to end with the arrival of Jason Wilcox as technical director. Beyond an unimpressive second season, Ten Hag’s future as far as more expenditures is unclear.
The major goal of United’s off-field actions, however, is to get the team back to the level of the world’s top heavyweights by making huge changes on the pitch.
At the beginning of his period, Ratcliffe plans to sell mediocrity and fund renovations, thus a number of players will be on the market this summer.
One of the players allegedly in danger is Antony, who has failed to score in the Premier League this year and has only managed one assist.
United are reportedly looking to unload the £86 million bomb this summer in order to recover some of the money that earned him the club’s second most expensive player ever.
The rumoured July departures of Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial as free agents would boost INEOS’s efforts to reduce the bloated pay bill they took over.
Even if Antony’s two years at Old Trafford were unsatisfactory, the article states that no suitors have materialised for him yet. Many believe that United will be hoping that changes in the next few weeks.
