Premier League giants Manchester United are set for a summer overhaul as they try to revamp their squad for next season. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new co-owner of Manchester United is all set to splash the cash in the market with big-name players available. Being one of the biggest clubs in the world and an imposing financial power, United are linked with Real Madrid-bound Kylian Mbappe who is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Ratcliffe opens up on Mbappe’s transfer
“I’d rather find the next Mbappe than spend a fortune trying to buy success,” Ratcliffe told The Geraint Thomas Cycling Club Podcast. “It’s not that clever, is it, buying Mbappe, in a way?”
“Anyone could figure that one out. Much more challenging is to find the next Mbappe or Jude Bellingham or the next Roy Keane.”
“It’s not where our focus is, the solution isn’t spending a lot of money on a couple of great players. They’ve done that over the last 10 years.”
United’s summer rebuilding is already on the way as they have Sir Dave Brailsford in charge of overseeing the creation of the new-look football operation at Old Trafford and has already brought in Omar Berrada from Man City to become the club’s chief executive.
“The first thing we need to do is get the right people in the right boxes who are managing and organising the club and make sure we get recruitment right. It’s such a vital part of running a football club today, finding new players,” Ratcliffe added.

United’s quest for silverware
United had a good weekend having seen progression to the FA Cup semifinal where they will meet Championship outfit Coventry. The emphatic 3-2 win against Liverpool coupled with a favourable draw should see the Red Devils compete for silverware at the end of the season. Their Champions League quest also had a boost with both Spurs and Aston Villa dropping points in the Premier League. They currently sit sixth in the table and will need a good run at the end of the season to reach the biggest club competition in the world.
