When British businessman Ratcliffe joined the board of Manchester United, a wind of change blew quietly. According to ESPN, the "chemical giant" in view of the constraints of the club's financial fairness policy, plans to attract players at a small cost in the summer transfer window, and even if the expansion of the lineup, but also will aim at those who have only one year left on their contracts, with the intention of buying at a low price, thus reducing the transfer costs.
Ratcliffe has long been displeased with Manchester United's practice of frequently bringing in stars at high prices over the past decade, and rumor has it that he has even requested for an audit. As a result, United's recruitment strategy will be more prudent in the future, focusing on breaking even. This also means that they will focus on targeting players whose contracts are about to expire and have no intention of renewing them. As other clubs do not want to lose players and transfer fees at the same time, they are often willing to offer low prices, and United will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to buy at low prices.
