Sir Jim Ratcliffe warns Man Utd fans not to expect superstar signings as he lays out transfer plan
SIR JIM RATCLIFFE has told fans not to expect the world’s best players to sign for Manchester United.
The British billionaire has purchased 27.7 per cent of the club and is in charge of football operations.
There has been speculation about Man Utd splashing the cash in upcoming transfer windows after Ratcliffe previously told supporters he wants to bring the glory days back to Old Trafford.
But he has admitted his approach in the market is not to buy big-name superstars.
Ratcliffe told the GT Cycling Club when they asked about Jude Bellingham: “He’s a great footballer. But It’s not where our focus is.
“The solution isn’t spending a lot of money on a couple of great players. They’ve done that if you look at the last ten years.”
