Sir Jim Ratcliffe Questions Manchester United Transfer Policy

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, an INEOS Chemicals billionaire who is close to taking control of Manchester United through a minority takeover, reportedly raised some questions over recent signings made by Manchester United. For example, Ratcliffe raised Casemiro as an example of recruitment that may need further scrutiny.

United shelled out PS60m for Real Madrid star Isco to join their ranks, signing him on a four-year deal worth around PS350,000 per week. While his performance has been commendable thus far, expectations may still not have been fulfilled fully.

INEOS Chemicals chairman was given an in-depth presentation by senior United executives as part of his visit as part of his takeover bid process.

Sheikh Jassim has dropped out of the race for full takeover, opening up an opportunity for British billionaire Ratcliffe to acquire a 25 percent stake. Reportedly in final stages of acquiring his share, and will likely gain control over sporting decisions once approved at a board meeting.

He reportedly took exception with the signing of Casemiro during his meeting with Red Devils CEO Richard Arnold and football director John Murtough. Last summer, United spent over PS70 million to bring Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro into their ranks on four-year contracts worth nearly PS350,000 per week.

Erik ten Hag's first summer as manager was spent searching for Frenkie de Jong. However, when the Dutchman chose to remain at Barcelona they turned their focus instead to Casemiro who they eventually signed for over PS70 million and granted a four-year contract at Old Trafford.

Brazilian forward Neymar has been an important player for Chelsea this season but his form has waned recently, drawing the notice of Ratcliffe who may assume control of sporting decisions at the club once his bid for stake ratification is approved; that could put Richard Arnold and John Murtough's roles as executive vice president and director of football at risk.

United spent PS60 million to sign Casemiro from Real Madrid in 2022 and offered him a four-year contract worth approximately PS350,000 per week. While Casemiro enjoyed an excellent first season at Old Trafford, his form has since declined since moving into this season's competition.

Ratcliffe appears content with United's commercial operations, yet feels they need to invest more in their squad. His 25% bid may grant him full control of football operations this week if it passes muster.

Packaging

Sir Jim Ratcliffe recently expressed displeasure with Manchester United's transfer policy on his recent trip to Old Trafford and Carrington. In particular, the British billionaire voiced discontent at their decision to sign Casemiro from Real Madrid last summer at such a tender age of 30.

United's decision came after Erik ten Hag had spent months trying to sign Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona; however, De Jong made clear his preference was staying put and United panicked by signing a player who plays differently to De Jong.

Ratcliffe will likely direct his attention toward Red Devils squad investment once he becomes a 25% shareholder and takes charge of football operations. He could bring in employees from INEOS that may threaten Richard Arnold and John Murtough's positions; but Ratcliffe is believed to support equipping Ten Hag with all necessary players needed for major honours competition.
