Manchester United: Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s innovative solution to a major problem in football
This article contains affiliate links, and we will receive a commission on any sales generated from it. Man Utd has been linked with Luton Town midfielder Ross Barkley. The connection may seem like a lack of ambition in the transfer market initially, given the need for long-term upgrades.
However, Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s reported interest makes sense when considering the bigger picture. INEOS took Ross Barkley to Nice last season. Ten Hag’s midfield options against Sheffield United were limited, with several players sidelined due to injuries.
As a result, United had no natural midfielder on the bench and several positions were left unattended, leading to the U18s being called up. Barkley may be a target for the Red Devils’ new regime, but he wouldn’t arrive as the marquee midfield addition of the summer.
