Sir Jim Ratcliffe criticises Glazers' failed 'couple of great players' Man Utd strategy

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been speaking about Manchester United's transfer plans and the club's strategy in the market, with the Red Devils' new co-owner looking to better the Glazers

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has outlined Manchester United’s new transfer approach after slamming the Glazers’ previous strategy.

The INEOS chief has made it clear he wants to avoid splashing out huge sums on just a few "great players". Instead, he's keen to get the right people in place behind the scenes before focusing on player recruitment.

Sir Dave Brailsford has already been appointed as his representative in Manchester. The club has also named Omar Berrada as its new chief executive. Currently at Manchester City, Berrada is set to take up his new role in the summer. Newcastle United's Dan Ashworth is also reportedly close to becoming the sporting director.

Talks are still ongoing with Newcastle over compensation, but it's widely expected that Ashworth will complete his move soon. This is the approach Ratcliffe wants United to adopt as he criticised the club's strategy under the Glazers, reports the Mirror.

When asked about signing players like Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham on The Geraint Thomas Cycling Club podcast, Ratcliffe said: "He's a great footballer. But it's not where our focus is. The solution is not to spend a lot of money on a couple of great players. They've done that if you look at the last 10 years.

"The first thing we need to do is get the right people in the right boxes in the organising of the club. Then make can get recruitment right. It's such a vital part of a football club today, getting recruitment right. Which is finding new players.

Luke Littler fans can now buy the 17-year-old's playing shirt to support him as he continues to demonstrate his talent in the Premier League.

The darts sensation was only 16 when he wowed Alexandra Palace at the World Darts Championship (WDC), despite a final loss to Luke Humphries.

The Nuke will continue playing against seven of the best dart players in the world — Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, Michael Smith, Nathan Aspinall, Rob Cross and Peter Wright — in a mini-tournament in a different city every Thursday until the final in May.

"You need the right organisation and structure. You need to populate it with the people who are the best in class. Dave wouldn't profess to ever saying 'We need to buy that player'. That's not his skillset, but we need to have that skillset at Manchester United."

Ratcliffe's plan for the future is backed by current boss Erik ten Hag. Since starting at the club, the Dutch gaffer has splurged over £400million on new players, but he hinted recently that this big spend might slow down.

"You feel that ambition. That brings a mood, brings a spirit in this club. The mood and the spirit which belongs to this club, and I think the players, the staff are very aligned with the ambitions of INEOS because that's why we are here," were his words back in February.

"We want to win, and we want to achieve the highest, so we are very aligned, and we have to make strategies and we have to execute the strategies to prove the ambitions. I think it's very important that you are [on] one page. About football philosophy, about football tactics, about the profiles of players you need in a team.

"It's very important to have a very good communication so that you get the right players. Because it's one of the most important factors to develop a good team, that you have the right players, with the right skills and the right personalities.

"So, that means you have to do a lot of work so you get aligned. It's a long process to get the right players in. Manchester United also always has to look for better and never be satisfied. Always looking for better."
