Revealed: Just THREE players guaranteed a place at Man Utd next season as Sir Jim Ratcliffe decides every other player in Erik ten Hag's team could be sold

Since acquiring a 27.7 per cent stake in United, INEOS have been actively involved in football operations at Old Trafford. According to a report in The Daily Mail, Ratcliffe recently met with key advisors, including Sir Dave Brailsford and Jean-Claude Blanc, signalling a proactive approach from United's new hierarchy to address the team's performance issues with a potential squad shake-up this summer.

A recent meeting in Manchester saw Ratcliffe, Brailsford, and Blanc discussing the club's future direction as far as player sales and incoming are concerned. Brailsford has allegedly held one-on-one meetings with players and staff to outline the club's strategic vision for the next season. Reports suggest that they are open to significant squad changes, with only three players - Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlund – rumoured to be guaranteed their places in the team.

Ratcliffe's objective is clear: to revitalise United and restore the club to former glory following a challenging period. With the new regime adopting an open-minded stance toward player sales many players might be released in a 'fire sale' as each and every bid will be considered carefully before striking the hammer.

The proposed changes come in the wake of a challenging season under manager Erik ten Hag - whose future also hangs in the balance. Despite reaching the FA Cup final, United's failure to secure Champions League football and their sixth-place standing in the league highlights the need for significant improvements.
