      Man Utd fans in meltdown after learning how Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s 25% takeover will affect January transfer plans

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED fans have been left raging after finding out Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s 25 per cent takeover of the club will NOT have an impact on their transfer spending.Sheikh Jassim’s withdrawal of his £5billion bid for complete control of the Red Devils appears to have paved the way for British billionaire Ratcliffe, 70, to purchase a minority stake at Old Trafford.

      The deal will leave the Glazers in charge of the club – an unpopular move among Man Utd supporters.
      And they have been further enraged by claims that Ratcliffe’s involvement will not lead to any kind of spending spree.
      According to The Guardian, the Ineos businessman’s takeover will not change Man Utd’s ability to spend in the transfer market.
      This was unwelcome news to fans on social media – who believe Ratcliffe’s investment will go straight to the Glazers.

      One said: “We know that! It’ll go in the Glazers pockets.”
      Another added: “Obviously, because that goes into the Glazers and the shareholders pockets who have never put a cent into the club.
      “Also from day one it was made clear he would not be clearing debt.”
      A third replied: “We’re so finished as a club.”

      While a fourth responded: “Nothing will actually change tbh, 25 per cent share can’t take control of the major club issues.”
      Man Utd spent nearly £180million in the summer window, bringing in high-profile names such as Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount and Andre Onana.
      But it has done little to improve Erik ten Hag’s side as they have lost four of their opening eight Premier League games.
      United have also suffered defeats in their two Champions League matches against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray. More

      The 20-year-old has three years left on his £12,000-a-week contract with City.
      But his salary will rise to £36,000 per week following his promotion into Pep Guardiola’s first team.
      Guardiola rates the winger very highly and is confident he can follow in the footsteps of other academy successes, such as Phil Foden and Rico Lewis.
      In fact, the Norway international’s development convinced the Spanish tactician he can afford to offload Cole Palmer to Chelsea in the summer.

      The former England international was set to be welcomed back into the fold at United before SunSport exclusively reported the club had made a U-turn following a backlash from fans.
      He was arrested in January last year following charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
      However, all charges were dropped in February by the Crown Prosecution Service.

      “In these circumstances, we are under a duty to stop the case. We have explained our decision to all parties.

      Sheikh Jassim’s offer would have included cash to redevelop the facilities, fund an Old Trafford rebuild and clear the existing debt.
      This clears the way for Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is set to buy a 25 per cent stake in the club for £1.4bn with the Glazer family still at the helm after the Qatari bid formally pulled out on Saturday.
      Sheikh Jassim accused United’s owners of demanding an “outlandish” price to sell the club.
      The Red Devils’ chiefs are set to sign off on Ratcliffe’s investment at a board meeting this coming week and the INEOS founder will have control over the football side of things.

      According to Bild, that will cost Ten Hag some major transfer reinforcement.
      That is because Sheikh Jassim was planning to bring Kylian Mbappe, Kingsley Coman and Eduardo Camavinga to Old Trafford.
      Paris Saint-Germain superstar Mbappe will become a free agent in June and looks set to join Real Madrid.
      However, the Qatari banker was planning to put his billions to good use and steal Mbappe from under Real’s nose.

      The Sheikh was determined to do the same with the star striker’s France team-mates.
      Coman and Camavinga have a contract with Bayern Munich and Real respectively until 2027.
      Camavinga was previously targeted by United when he still played for Rennes.
      And it now seems like the midfielder will play a key role in Los Blancos’ future with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric stepping aside due to their advanced age. More
