Sir Jim Ratcliffe meets with Cristiano Ronaldo's ex-agent Jorge Mendes as Man Utd draw up summer transfer plans

Premier League

Ipswich

Ratcliffe has taken time out to meet with Mendes in the hope of using the agent's knowledge and contacts to Manchester United's advantage, according to the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/sir-jim-ratcliffe-meets-super-32686231" target="_blank">Mirror</a>. Mendes, who used to work with Ronaldo, currently represents a host of top players including <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-smash-transfer-record-joao-neves-extensive-scouting-mission-benfica-portugal-team-bruno-fernandes/blt4d3682d88c397cea" target="_blank">Benfica midfielder Joao Neves who has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford</a>. Ratcliffe is eager to improve United's transfer business after seeing a <a href="https://www.ccma.cat/esport3/en-directe-segueix-la-roda-de-premsa-de-xavi-hernandez-13-h/noticia/3289723/" target="_blank">host of recent high-profile signings fail to impress at the club</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

United have been busy making changes ahead of a potentially busy summer. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/inside-man-utd-raid-of-rivals-city-for-omar-berrada-new-ceo-shockwaves/blt606cd1c597682bca" target="_blank">Omar Berrada has arrived from Manchester City</a> as CEO, while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-get-their-man-red-devils-confirm-appointment-of-jason-wilcox-as-club-s-new-technical-director/blt49e1e5372e41dd2d" target="_blank">Jason Wilcox has been appointed as the club's new technical director</a>. The Red Devils also want to add <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/dan-ashworth-attempting-to-force-man-utd-move-by-taking-newcastle-to-arbitration/blt884a3a1744cc0bba#cs4a0b82440628b5af" target="_blank">Dan Ashworth from Newcastle</a> as part of their restructuring plans.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ratcliffe has offered some insight into his transfer plans recently on British cyclist Geraint Thomas' podcast. He said: "It’s not that clever is it buying Mbappe? Anyone could figure that one out, but what is much more challenging is to find the next Mbappe, or the next Bellingham, or the next Roy Keane."

WHAT RATCLIFFE HAS SAID ABOUT TRANSFERS

United finish their Premier League campaign with games against Crystal Palace, Arsenal, Newcastle and Brighton. The Red Devils will then hope to finish their season on a high by beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
