Man United management have made a transfer announcement that may not please fans

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team will have a lot of issues to deal with after the Premier League approved the purchase of a 28 per cent stake in Manchester United. Including infrastructure issues.

It is these that INEOS chief executive Jean-Claude Blanc urged in an interview with La Tribune to focus on first, putting them above strengthening the squad:

"The main thing is the quality of the experience for the fans. We must have the courage to invest in infrastructure rather than players. This creates additional income that allows us to reinvest in talent."

When asked about plans to modernise Old Trafford, Blanc said:

"We are looking at all options. We see that the situation is changing a lot. Tottenham have a new stadium. Real Madrid are finalising the construction of theirs. Barcelona are working on it."

Recall that Manchester United are now working on attracting Dan Ashworth to the post of sporting director, and it is known with whom the "Red Devils" can say goodbye in case of arrival of the specialist.
