Enough is enough: Sir Jim Ratcliffe has decided to implement a significant change at Manchester United, according to Fabrizio Romano. Romano reports that Ratcliffe is introducing a new recruitment policy at Old Trafford, signaling a shift in approach for the club.

Manchester United is reportedly set for a major overhaul in recruitment strategy following the integration of a new leadership team, including Dan Ashworth, Omar Berrada, Jason Wilcox, and Christian Vivell, who joined over the summer.

The club is embarking on a transfer overhaul after a decade of heavy spending failed to deliver the desired success. With Sir Jim Ratcliffe appointing several new leaders to oversee INEOS’s operations at Old Trafford, he anticipates different results from a revamped transfer approach.

Amid ongoing speculation regarding Erik ten Hag’s position and INEOS’s role in managerial decisions, the board is reportedly focusing on other key changes within the club.

This past summer, United adopted a more strategic approach by spreading their spending across multiple squad areas instead of splurging on a single marquee signing. For instance, they declined to meet Everton’s £75 million valuation for defender Jarrad Branthwaite and opted for Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt instead.

In the past, the club may have succumbed to high asking prices, potentially overpaying for priority targets. Alongside bolstering the first team, United also invested in young talent, including the recent acquisition of Chido Obi Martin.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is implementing the new recruitment policy at Old Trafford.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has shared updates on the latest changes that Sir Jim Ratcliffe aims to implement at Manchester United. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano discussed the club’s evolving recruitment strategy.

He noted, “This summer, we saw signings like Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee, and Manuel Ugarte. United was very active in securing important players, but they also started acquiring promising young talents. Two names to remember are Sekou Kone, a midfielder from Mali born in 2006, and Chido Obi Martin, who left Arsenal’s academy to join United.”

Romano explained that INEOS is focused on building for the future, targeting talents who may not be ready for the first team immediately. “Chido Obi Martin and Sekou Kone won’t debut for United right away, but their potential is enormous, and that’s why the club chose to sign them,” he said.

He also highlighted that, in the past, United missed out on opportunities to sign young prospects despite the scouting department’s recommendations. He mentioned Moises Caicedo as an example of a player the club could have signed earlier.

However, with INEOS now at the helm, Romano suggested that this situation is set to change. The club’s new approach emphasizes acquiring talents with high potential, like Chido Obi Martin and Sekou Kone, and the pursuit of similar signings is already underway.
