Manchester United fans want the club to completely escape the Glazers, but Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos controlling 25% of the team is also acceptable.
Recently, British billiоnaire Jim Ratcliffe completed a 1.3 billiоn pound deal to buy 25% of Man United’s shares. With experience in sports, especially when he also owns Nice – the club ranked second in Ligue 1, Red Devils fans can absolutely think about a better future for the team.
Perhaps this man already has an idea in his head to refresh Man United’s squad to quickly bring the club back to its golden age like when Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge. Many current names at Old Traffrod will have to leave to make room for new players in an effort to purify the force.
Jim Ratcliffe officially owns 25% of Man United.
Because he is also the owner of Nice, it is not excluded that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will bring some stars of the French team to the Premier League. Here are 4 Nice names that 90min.com lists as potential targets for the Red Devils.
Jean-Clair Todibo
Position: Midfielder
23 years old
French international Jean-Clair Todibo is no stranger to the British press, because this player is the target of many big players in the Premier League. Previously, he played for Barcelona from 2019 to 2021 and made 5 appearances for La Blaugrana.
Todibo is a hоt commodity in the transfer market.
After that, he was loaned to Nice before the French club decided to officially sign Todibo and turned him into one of Ligue 1’s most talented centre-backs. This season, the 23-year-old star is key. Reliable blocking in the heart of Nice’s defense, helping this team to be second behind Paris Saint Germain with only 9 goals conceded in 17 matches.
Manchester United will certainly have to compete fiercely with a number of other teams, especially Tottenham Hotspur, if they want to own Todibo. In addition, the price for this player will not be a pleasant number.
Khephren Thuram
Position: Central midfielder
Age: 22
Khephren is the son of legendary Lillian Thuram and younger brother of French international Marcus Thuram. Just like his father and brother, Khephren possesses natural football talent.
Khephren inherited his football talent from his father.
He grew up from Monaco, then joined Nice in the summer of 2019 and gradually developed to occupy a starting position in the club’s first team. Currently, Khephren plays as a box-to-box midfielder and has contributed positively to Nice’s success so far.
The Old Trafford team has quite a selection of personnel in the midfield, but if they have the opportunity to own this 22-year-old talent, they will not easily pass it up.
Marcin Bulka
Position: Goalkeeper
Age: 24
The Polish goalkeeper can return to England.
Not mentioned much outside of France, but Bulka is a very potential goalkeeper. This season, he improved dramatically to start all 17 matches for Nice in Ligue 1, of which 12 matches he kept clean sheets.
The Polish goalkeeper spent three years in the Chelsea youth team, then spent time playing football at PSG before building a career in Nice. It will not be difficult for Bulka to adapt to life in England if Manchester United considers bringing him back to England.
Terem Moffi
Position: Striker
Age: 24
Will Moffi leave in the next January transfer window?
The path to becoming a football star for the Nigerian striker is not easy. After leaving his homeland at the age of 17, he began his playing career in Lithuania. After that, Moffi moved to Belgium to play for the Kortrijk club, before he made the whole of France remember his nаme during his time with Lorient and Nice.
This season, Moffi has appeared in 16 matches for Nice in Ligue 1, scoring 6 goals and providing 2 assists. His speed and аggressive playing style is what Man United really needs to give life to their аttаck.
