"Sir Jim Ratcliffe will not participate in the project to build a new Old Trafford stadium worth up to 1.5 billion pounds. He will spend about 245 million pounds (the value of buying 25% of MU's shares) to improve the infrastructure at the club. In addition, he will sell at least 3 top stars in the winter transfer window in early 2024," said the Daily Mail .
British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe (middle) is about to take control of MU football activities.
The three stars who will be "invited to leave" by Sir Jim Ratcliffe include Antony, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial. These are players who have been playing poorly recently and have not contributed much to the MU club's playing style. Jadon Sancho was even disciplined internally due to disagreements with coach Erik ten Hag.
"The departure of these three top stars will be the first tasks of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his associates when they take control of football activities and begin to restructure the MU club. In addition, the positions of executive director and technical director of MU will also be changed or supplemented," the Daily Mail shared.
"In addition to the internal reform of the MU Club, Sir Jim Ratcliffe will consider alternative plans to renovate or expand Old Trafford, as well as improve the facilities in and around this famous stadium. The Carrington training area will also be significantly upgraded with an expected budget of 150 million to 200 million pounds," the Daily Mail revealed.

Old Trafford is an iconic and long-standing stadium in English football, but it has been in disrepair for many years, with the roof leaking for many years. Compared to the new stadiums of clubs such as Man City or Tottenham, the current Old Trafford stadium cannot be compared.
When the American owners of Manchester United, the Glazers, put Old Trafford up for sale, they planned to rebuild the club for a total of £1.5 billion. However, the deal fell through when the Glazers refused to sell the club to Qatari businessmen (who offered nearly £6 billion), but instead agreed to sell 25% of their shares to British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Despite many difficulties, MU Club (red shirt) has now risen to 6th place in the English Premier League.
MU is having a difficult time with declining results, but coach Erik ten Hag and his team just won against Luton Town with a score of 1-0, rising to 6th place in the Premier League.
