Former CEO Richard Arnold has already left while United are planning for a potential replacement for football director John Murotugh. He has already given United fans a glimpse of his proactivity at French club OGC Nice, who he bought in 2019.

Current United officials have indicated the summer is their next window of big spend, by which time Ratcliffe will almost certainly be in place.
