Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reportedly preparing a firesale to rid Manchester United of three of its underperforming stars.
According to the Sun, Ratcliffe, who is still yet to finalise the purchase of 25 per cent of United shares from the Glazer family, has already drawn up plans for a massive overhaul for Erik ten Hag's squad.
The British billionaire, as part of his minority deal, would take control of football operations, and he is also thought to be set to pledge £245million to improve infrastructure.
But Ten Hag's squad looks to need emergency surgery to help salvage the season, with a dismal start in the Premier League and the Champions League, where defeat at FC Copenhagen this week left them bottom of their group.
