Change Ratcliffe will make at Man Utd

British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is close to becoming one of the owners of Premier League club Manchester United.

Ahead of the billionaire’s inclusion in the club’s hierarchy, a recent report via the UK Sun revealed he would make changes at the top when his purchase of a stake in Manchester United is completed.

Ratcliffe is close to buying a 25% stake in the Red Devils and taking control of football operations at Old Trafford.

Ahead of the completion of the deal, Ratcliffe is already planning an overhaul of the club’s scouting and acquisition network.

Currently, these roles are currently filled by CEO Richard Arnold, football director John Murtough and director of football operations David Harrison.

There are speculations that all three could lose their jobs after Ratcliffe’s takeover, although it had been suggested already that Arnold would leave in the event of the 71-year-old’s arrival.

The billionaire is also thought to be set to pledge £245 million to improve infrastructure.

According to the reports, the deal could be all done as early as Monday.
