The Sun claims that Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who will take over as the team’s football operations manager on Monday, has threatened to dismiss David Harrison, John Murtough, the director of football operations, and Richard Arnold, the CEO of Manchester United.
The British billionaire and owner of INEOS, who now owns 25% of the Old Trafford club, is expected to take the lead in making crucial football decisions starting next week.
The jobs of the three players named above are in danger because Ratcliffe is probably going to spearhead a big overhaul at Manchester United.
OGC Nice’s owner is taken aback that the Red Devils, who have spent nearly £1.4 billion on players since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013, have only won one FA Cup, two League Cups, and a Europa League medal.

Harrison was hired in February of this year, while Murtough was appointed director of football in March 2021 after five years as head of development. Before Arnold took charge, Ed Woodward served as Man United’s CEO from 2012 to 2022.
They might all be held responsible for the recent poor seasons the Red Devils have endured, though, now that Ratcliffe has joined the team.
At Manchester United, INEOS Director of Sports and his right-hand man Sir Dave Brailsford are expected to be by his side when it comes to making critical decisions regarding key judgements.
All three players—Paul Pogba (£89 million), Romelu Lukaku (£75 million), and Angel Di Maria (£59.7 million)—were ultimately unsuccessful.
There are still unpaid balances of £85.5 million for Antony, £73 million for Jadon Sancho, £44.5 million for Anthony Martial, and £40 million for Donny van de Beek.
Additionally, Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund, Sofyan Amrabat, and Andre Onana were added by manager Erik ten Hag during the most recent summer transfer window.
While he is yet to score in the Premier League, only the Danish international has left an impression.
