“I know that he won’t go to Real Madrid. This is what the new owner has been planning since. Its a very big shock to the Madrid fans”- Manchester United part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe breaks his silence on Kylian Mbappe to Manchester United rumors!💣
Manchester United co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, recently expressed his belief that the club’s focus should be on nurturing emerging talents rather than splurging on established stars like Kylian Mbappe. In a podcast interview with the Geraint Thomas Cycling Club, Ratcliffe emphasized the importance of strategic recruitment over lavish spending.
Ratcliffe highlighted that Manchester United’s approach has shifted away from pursuing high-profile signings with exorbitant fees and wages. Instead, he stressed the significance of identifying and developing the next generation of football prodigies.
“Mbappe to Man United? I’d try to find the next Mbappe rather than spend a fortune trying to buy success. It’s not that clever to sign Mbappe now, it’s more challenging to find the next Mbappe, next Bellingham or next Roy Keane,” Ratcliffe asserted during the podcast.
The restructuring of Manchester United’s backroom operations is underway, with efforts focused on revamping the recruitment process. Discussions are reportedly ongoing with Dan Ashworth, the sporting director of Newcastle United, to bolster the club’s recruitment strategy.
Meanwhile, former Manchester United player Rio Ferdinand has urged Kylian Mbappe to consider a move to the Premier League, specifically to Manchester United. Ferdinand believes that Mbappe’s talent and ambition warrant a move to a more competitive league, where he can further elevate his game and pursue coveted titles like the Champions League.
“I’d love to see him come here – but nowhere else but Man United if he comes to England!” Ferdinand exclaimed, underscoring the allure of the Premier League and the potential for Mbappe to thrive in its fiercely competitive environment.
As Manchester United looks to bolster its attacking options, speculation surrounds potential signings in the upcoming transfer window. With Anthony Martial’s future uncertain, the club is reportedly in the market for a new striker to reinforce its offensive capabilities.
