Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to take drastic action at Manchester United due to the revelation of a staggering wage bill.
The INEOS owner, who is keen on revamping the squad this summer, has been left frustrated by the club's inefficiency and underperformance. Ratcliffe assumed control of United in February after buying a 27.7 per cent stake in the club and being handed the reins by majority shareholders, the Glazers.
He has already initiated significant changes behind the scenes, with Richard Arnold, John Murtough, Patrick Stewart and Cliff Baty all making way for Omar Berrada, Jean-Claude Blanc, Jason Wilcox and Dan Ashworth. The future of manager Erik ten Hag remains uncertain too as United nears the end of another disappointing season.

However, there is more certainty regarding the playing squad, which is set to undergo a major overhaul in the summer transfer window in a bid to ignite a revival. MEN Sport understands United are willing to sell every member of their squad, except for young talents Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo as well as goalkeeper Andre Onana, due to the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules that could hamper recruitment.
Despite being a United fan, Ratcliffe adopts a no-nonsense approach towards his business assets, and the club's wage bill highlights the magnitude of the task he faces. United may only be sixth in the Premier League table, but they are top when it comes to splashing cash on player wages.
