Only three players have apparently assured a position in Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s proposed makeover of the Manchester United roster for the upcoming campaign.

Who are the Three Players Carrying a Certain Place in the Manchester United Squad?

INEOS has been heavily involved in football operations at Old Trafford since acquiring a 27.7% share in United. Ratcliffe recently met with important advisors, such as Sir Dave Brailsford and Jean-Claude Blanc, according to a source from Daily Mail.

This suggests that United’s new leadership is taking a proactive approach to addressing the team’s performance difficulties, which may involve shaking up the roster this summer.

Ratcliffe, Brailsford, and Blanc recently met in Manchester to discuss the club’s future path with regard to player acquisitions and sales. According to reports, Brailsford has personally met with players and staff to discuss the club’s strategic plan for the upcoming campaign.

Only three players are reportedly in certain spots in the squad: Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Kobbie Mainoo. Reports indicate that they are amenable to major roster changes.

The proposed squad overhaul comes in the aftermath of a turbulent season under manager Erik ten Hag, whose future at the club remains uncertain.

Despite reaching the FA Cup final, Manchester United’s failure to secure Champions League football and their sixth-place finish in the league underscore the pressing need for significant improvements.

As the summer transfer window approaches, United supporters await further developments as Ratcliffe and his advisors navigate the complexities of reshaping the squad and reviving the club’s fortunes in the seasons ahead.
