Michael Olise and Jarrad Branthwaite are reportedly targets for Manchester United as Sir Jim Ratcliffe looks to revolutionise the club's transfer policy - and slash Erik ten Hag's influence.
Ratcliffe wants to chase a younger age profile and use a data-led approach, as is the case in his other sporting pursuits with INEOS.
Ten Hag is used to considerable sway over transfers, with the club landing his former Ajax players Antony and Andre Onana during his tenure.
However Ratciffe - who completed his £1.3billion buy-out of a 25 per cent stake in the club in December - wants to transform football operations.
