Man Utd’s board give official ‘approval’ for £60 million-rated star to become first Sir Jim Ratcliffe signing

According to rumours, Manchester United will attempt to strengthen their offensive line this summer by making a bid for one of the most sought-after players in the Premier League.

It appears that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS team have already begun to contemplate a significant reorganisation of their ageing team.

The entire football operations at Old Trafford will be under Ratcliffe and his team’s authority, which will force them to make some tough choices, such what will happen to Jadon Sancho in the future.

It’s reported that United wants to offload as many as ten players this summer, including Mason Greenwood, Donny van de Beek, and Hannibal Mejbri.

In addition to departures, INEOS is eager to add players, though the board has only supported Michael Olise, a winger for Crystal Palace, as a “specific” objective.

Ben Jacobs, a transfer analyst, claims that Olise’s transfer to United was planned before Ratcliffe’s acquisition, which was estimated to be worth £1.3 billion.

According to Metro, the 22-year-old, who has a release clause of over £60 million, would prefer to join United over Liverpool and Chelsea.

Jarrad Braithwaite, a defender for Everton, is reportedly on United’s radar ahead of the summer transfer window; the Toffees are anticipated to demand at least £70 million.

The team is planning to sign a new centre defender, but as of right now, Olise is the only “specific” target that INEOS has supported.

In addition to the aforementioned targets, United is allegedly interested in signing Juventus defender Gleison Bremer as a less expensive option.

Bremer signed a new contract with the Italian powerhouses just late last year, but he has been one of Juventus’ best players this season. The i claims that Bremer’s contract has a €50 million (about £43 million) release clause.
