MANCHESTER United supporters will be hoping for an instant impact from Sir Jim Ratcliffe once his investment in the club is ratified in the coming days.

Fans wait to see how Ratcliffe will affect transfer plans

The British billionaire is set to finalise his 25 percent stake in United, with further big changes anticipated at Old Trafford following news of Richard Arnold’s departure. 

John Murtough could also be replaced as part of a mooted review of the club’s sporting structure, but for many fans, the real gauge of change will be within the club’s approach to the transfer market, with eyes already on January.

It might be wishful thinking to expect any significant changes to United’s transfer policy so close to the next window, but there will certainly be an entirely new level of scrutiny when it finally opens at the start of next year.

United typically start planning for the next transfer window as soon as the previous one closes, with short and long-term targets shortlisted as they plan for the future and the permutations they might face.
