The billionaire now owns 25 per cent of the club, which has been toiling under the ownership of Glazers for several years.

We understands Ratcliffe will make changes to the structure of the club and is contemplating axing manager Erik ten Hag.

And he’s set to drastically overhaul the Dutchman’s underperforming squad.

A whopping SEVEN players are on Ratcliffe’s chopping block and he is on hand to run through the stars whose Old Trafford futures look bleak.

Jadon Sancho

Man Utd 'want controversial swap transfer for former Leeds star' in bid to offload Jadon Sancho | The Sun

The England international has been frozen out of the first-team since hitting back at Ten Hag following United’s 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in September.

Sancho has refused to apologise for his criticism of his manager, which could very well be deemed as problematic by Ratcliffe.

Casemiro

Sir Jim Ratcliffe questioned Man Utd signing Casemiro - and club staff felt England star was a far better investment | The Sun

The five-time Champions League winner has looked a shell of the player who bossed Real Madrid’s midfield for years.

The Brazilian has had a considerable drop-off this season, so much so fans have called for teenager Kobbie Mainoo to replace him.

Casemiro’s wages are some of the heftiest in the squad, so that – along with his poor displays – makes him a serious candidate for the axe.

Antony

Man Utd star Antony slammed as shocking stat sums up 'embarrassing' Man Utd problem

Manchester United’s second-most-expensive signing has well and truly failed to reward Ten Hag for his pricey show of faith in him.

The Brazilian – who cost the club a staggering £85million – has only scored eight goals and provided three assists in 18 months at the Theatre of Dreams.

His poor form – along with his frustrating style and wages – will almost certainly put him at risk of being sold.

Raphael Varane

World Cup and four-time Champions League winner Varane is also at risk of the chop following his rift with Ten Hag, which the Dutchman has denied.

The Frenchman is reportedly unhappy with his current situation and considering his future at the club, who could choose to cut their losses and let his big-money contract expire next summer.

Victor Lindelof

Manchester United, nouveau problème en défense

Another centre-back likely to wave goodbye in June is Victor Lindelof, who’s just never cut it in the big moments for United since joining from Benfica in 2017.

The 29-year-old Swede is now captain of his country but only injuries to the likes of Varane have allowed him to earn minutes under Ten Hag and the exit door is looming, as the Red Devils could look to cash in in January.

Anthony Martial
