Manchester United has seen a major change recently, with Ratcliffe officially joining the club's management and taking charge of soccer operations, a move that was seen as a starting point for the club's resurgence in glory. However, according to a well-known journalist, Ratcliffe's "new boss magic" will not be evident in the short term, and the January transfer window will remain as is, suggesting that top stars will not join the club and the team may have to supplement their squad by loaning out players, as they did last season.
Although Ratcliffe's determination to reform Manchester United is unwavering, but after the completion of the 25% share purchase, he still need to wait 6 to 8 weeks, waiting for the Premier League to complete the "new owner review" process, the earliest until February to formally join the board of directors. This means that in January, Manchester United will still follow the "Glasha model", the previous rumors about Kubo Jianying, Shi Segao, Ivan Ferguson and other high-priced reinforcements may become futile.
According to ESPN's Alden, "United fans may be able to feel uplifted that the Glasha family has finally stepped back from the limelight. But there's a slight pause in the celebrations, as Ratcliffe won't take over until February at the earliest. The January transfer window has nothing to do with him and the winter transfers will still follow the Glasha model, i.e. there won't be much action, probably just a couple of departures and a couple of players brought in via loan, so there won't be too many surprises."
