Sir Jim Ratcliffe plans to develop a multi-club model with Man United

Manchester United have often been seen as stuck in the past when it comes to their football operations, largely due to the Glazers' lack of enthusiasm.

But recent reports suggest a potential change is on the horizon. Football Insider reports that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is planning a multi-club model, with Manchester United poised to be at the forefront.

As a lifelong Man United fan, Sir Jim Ratcliffe will soon take control of 25% of the club, including sporting matters at Old Trafford. Multi-club models, as demonstrated by the likes of Manchester City, can be a source of talent worldwide.

Moreover, with Brexit's restrictions on signing foreign players under 18, this model helps navigate the issue, as players are initially bought by the ownership group and then transferred to the desired club.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is already making strides with OGC Nice in Ligue 1, Lausanne in Switzerland, and Abidjan in Africa under INEOS. The Glazers have been criticized for not investing enough in the club, but if Sir Jim Ratcliffe can bring Manchester United back into the 21st century.
