Recently, Manchester United ushered in a major personnel change, Ratcliffe's successful shareholding and takeover of the club's soccer affairs, which is seen as a key move for the "Red Devils" to revitalize their fortunes. However, according to a well-known reporter, Ratcliffe's status as the "new boss" will not bring immediate change, and the January transfer window will remain routine, signaling that the hope of top players joining the club has been dashed, and the team may only be able to continue the borrowing strategy of last season.
Despite Ratcliffe's unwavering commitment to reforming United, he will have to wait six to eight weeks for the Premier League to complete the vetting process for a new owner after completing the purchase of his 25% stake. That means he won't formally join the board until February at the earliest, and the January transfer window will continue to be dominated by the "Grassa-type" model, which makes it highly unlikely that a number of high-priced players will join the club, including Kubo Kenyoung, Szczeco, and Ewan Ferguson.
According to ESPN reporter Alden, "United fans may be able to get excited as the Glasha family finally takes a back seat. But the celebrations will have to wait a little longer, as Ratcliffe won't take over until February at the earliest. The January transfer window will not be affected by him, and the winter transfer market will continue to be Glasha-esque, i.e. there will not be many changes. Maybe a few players will leave and a few more will be loaned in, but there will be no surprise transfers."
