Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to focus on homegrown talent once he takes over football operations at Manchester United.
The British billionaire is set to purchase a 25 per cent stake in the Red Devils.
According to the Daily Mail, he will tell his recruitment team to target English talent over foreign stars.
United have signed just seven homegrown players since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013.
Manchester United are reportedly showing interest in Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy.
Foot Mercato report that the Red Devils are amongst the clubs tracking the forward as they look to bolster their attacking options.
Newcastle, Roma and AC Milan are also in the hunt for Guirassy, the report adds.
The Guinea international has scored 15 Bundesliga goals in just 10 appearances this season, with only Harry Kane scoring more.
Manchester United are the latest club to enter the hunt to sign Palmeiras winger Estevao.
Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid have all already been linked with the 16-year-old Brazilian.
According to Teamtalk, United sent scouts to watch the youngster at the under-17 World Cup.
Estevao scored three goals for Brazil as they reached the quarter-finals in Indonesia.
Kobbie Mainoo should keep Casemiro and Sofyan Amrabat out of Manchester United's starting XI, according to former Red Lee Sharpe.
The 18-year-old has been superb for the Red Devils in their last two games.
And Sharpe told 888sport after the Champions League game: "He looks like a natural in the team. He slots in and doesn’t panic in situations.
"There were a couple of players around him last night, but he kept the ball and displayed some nice touches, he just never gets flustered.
"He always looks composed and knows what’s around him – he comes across as an experienced first-teamer, but he’s only been in the team for two minutes.
“I’ve got high expectations for him – hopefully the manager and the club can protect him and play him at the right times.
"When you’re bringing off your new signing, Sofyan Amrabat, who you’ve paid millions for, to replace him with a young lad, it says a lot about his ability.
"You’ve also got Casemiro not playing at the moment, and I think Mainoo can keep each of them out of the team – I reckon he’s better than both of them.”
Lee Sharpe believes letting David de Gea leave was a big mistake.
The former No1 spent 12 years at Old Trafford and was named Player of the Year on four occasions.
But his replacement Andre Onana has not met expectations and instead made several errors which have resulted in goals conceded - including one of Galatasaray's goals in the 3-3 draw.
Sharpe believes releasing De Gea was a mistake as he was one of United's most consistent performers in his spell at Old Trafford.
He 888Sport: “It’s certainly looking like an error now. It was a bit weird the way they shuffled De Gea the door – I know he made a couple of high-profile mistakes last season, but he was so consistent in the time that he was there.
“He would keep United in games and win them matches by himself, so it was a little bit disappointing the way they let him go.”
Ex-United striker Josh King is expected to leave Fenerbahce in January, according to reports.
King, 31, joined the Turkish side in July 2022 and has since scored 11 goals in 38 appearances.
However, his game time this season has been limited due to injury.
Ismail Kartal is now prepared to offer the striker a mutual contract termination.
Should he leave Fenerbahce in January, King will become a free agent.
And according to Turkish outlet Milliyet, Sheffield United are monitoring him.
Andre Onana could pull out of the African Cup of Nations to protect his Manchester United number one spot.
Onana was expected to be missing in the New Year having returned to the international fold with Cameroon.
But with Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayinider waiting in the wings having signed for the United in the summer, Onana fears he might lose his place long term.
Onana, 27, surprised United boss Erik Ten Hag by deciding to return to international football this season having retired after walking out of Cameroon’s World Cup camp a year ago.
He has since patched up his differences with coach Rigobert Song and made three appearances helping them to qualify for the AFCON Finals.
They run from January 13 to February 11 and could mean Onana missing up to six games.
Man Utd are interested in Stuttgart star Serhou Guirassy, according to reports.
The striker is enjoying a remarkable season in the Bundesliga, scoring 15 goals in ten matches so far.
Only Bayern Munich's Harry Kane has netted more than him in Europe's top five leagues with 22 domestically.
His form comes as a surprise to most after he was on target just 11 times last season.
Guirassy, 27, is now on the radar of several top clubs and Man Utd are one of those keen.
They have supposedly made contact with Stuttgart regarding his availability.
Foot Mercato report that Guirassy is open to leaving Stuttgart should a tempting offer come in.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe plans to make several changes to Manchester United's recruitment team, it's understood.
The Ineos chief is set to take over football operations at the club once his 25 per cent stake is ratified.
There have already been changes at board level with CEO Richard Arnold set to depart - Jean-Claude Blanc is expected to arrive as his replacement.
Ineos chief Sir Dave Brailsford is set for a strategic role at United, according to the Daily Mail - he previously worked in cycling before heading football operations at Nice, the Ligue 1 club owned by Ratcliffe.
Ratcliffe is reportedly considering appointing two senior recruitment executives, placing John Murtough's future at the club under doubt.
Former Liverpool transfer guru Michael Edwards is being eyed along with Paul Michell, who has impressed with his work at Tottenham, Southampton and most recently Monaco.
Man Utd's travel to Tyneside to face Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday night.
Both sides were in Champions League action in midweek and will be keen to get over their respective disappointments.
The Red Devils gave up a two-goal lead TWICE against Galatasaray in a dramatic 3-3 draw on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, Newcastle were on the end of a controversial VAR decision, which led to Kylian Mbappe stealing a point from the penalty spot for PSG in the 98th minute.
Man Utd are the form side in the Premier League, dropping just two points from the last six games, while the Magpies will be hoping to build on their 4-1 romping against Chelsea in their last top-flight outing.
Erik ten Hag has been left “wowed” by Darren Fletcher’s son Jack, Sun Sport can reveal.
The 16-year-old midfielder was promoted by United’s Dutch manager to train with the first team ahead of their clash with Galatasaray.
And sources close to the club say Ten Hag is keen to “fast-track” Fletcher’s progress.
Our source said: “Erik Ten Hag has been watching Jack closely for several months now and has been really impressed. He thinks he has huge potential which is why he decided to promote him to train with the first team last week.
“Ten Hag is now working with his staff to put a plan in place to try and develop and fast-track Jack’s progress.
“He is likely to go out on loan next season but Erik believes, in the long term, he has a massive future at United.
"He’s been wowed by his attitude, and his maturity and - thinks he is the latest in an exciting crop of talent to be coming through at United.”
Mauro Icardi's disallowed goal against Manchester United may have stood if it was scored in the Premier League.
So United could have lost to Galatasaray as Icardi's strike would have levelled the match at 2-2 just before half-time.
Instead Erik ten Hag's side went 3-1 up before being pegged back, as VAR backed up the linesman's call that Icardi was offside.
Uefa use a semi-automated system to judge offside in the Champions League and Icardi was a fraction beyond the last defender Harry Maguire.
But in the Premier League no such system is in place, with VAR officials instead reliant on drawing lines to determine offside.
Icardi was offside by the tightest of margins with only his shoulder beyond Maguire, with the semi-automated system drawing a line right where Maguire's arm started.
Manchester United outcast Donny van de Beek has revealed a transfer exit during the summer collapsed “at the last minute”.
Van de Beek was close to joining Real Sociedad but talks broke down forcing him to stay at Old Trafford.
The 26-year-old has played just 21 minutes of action for Erik ten Hag’s side this season.
Van De Beek told Diario AS: “I was close to going to Real Sociedad, but at the last minute, the clubs could not reach an agreement.”
Erik ten Hag Ten Hag made it clear that Altay Bayindir will get his chance soon.
Ten Hag said: “We are pleased with the goalkeeping group. They have to push each other.
“We are very pleased with Altay who is doing very well, he just has to be patient.
“If he works well and continues his progress, he will get his chance and will have to take it.”
Man Utd's transfer plans have suffered a blow as PSG are interested in Youssouf Fofana, according to reports.
The 24-year-old could leave Monaco with just 18 months left on his current deal.
United are keen to bolster their midfield options in the transfer window with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his chiefs are identifying targets.
Reports from CaughtOffside claim that Fofana is on their radar.
However, a move could prove difficult with Monaco reluctant to sell in January and PSG like the look of him.
Fofana fits the Parisians profile of signing French-born stars.
Ex-Manchester United striker Josh King is expected to leave Fenerbahce in January, according to reports.
King, 31, joined the Turkish side in July 2022 and has since scored 11 goals in 38 appearances.
However, his game time this season has been limited due to injury.
Ismail Kartal is now prepared to offer the striker a mutual contract termination.
Should he leave Fenerbahce in January, King will become a free agent.
And according to Turkish outlet Milliyet, Sheffield United are monitoring him.
The Blades allegedly expressed an interest in signing the Norway international earlier this year, but they could not reach an agreement with Fenerbahce.

Ratcliffe is reportedly considering appointing two senior recruitment executives, placing John Murtough's future at the club under doubt.
Former Liverpool transfer guru Michael Edwards is being eyed along with Paul Michell, who has impressed with his work at Tottenham, Southampton and most recently Monaco.
Ruud Gullit believes Erik ten Hag will have to start asking serious questions of Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana in the near future.
Speaking on beIN Sports, the ex-midfielder said: "He knows these are horrible mistakes, he knows that. He’s going to talk in private with his goalkeeper and ask what the hell are you doing, what is going on?
"Maybe he has to make a decision, you never know. The problem is you want to give your goalkeeper, as much as you can, confidence.
"Not immediately after a mistake get out. With goalkeepers it is hard. He was in a difficult situation.
"He saved them once but I feel for him I know he’s a good goalkeeper but he cost them a lot of games."
Erik ten Hag has taken responsibility for United’s 3-3 draw with Galatasaray.
He said: "It is always me. I am responsible for this."
Ten Hag added: "We should have taken three points. This is the same in more games - home against Galatasaray and away in Copenhagen.
"We played so good. So I have to make a compliment to my team but I also have to criticise the team and us as a coaching staff and me as a manager.
"We are not defending well enough, we are leading 3-1 and you can't afford such mistakes because it makes a difference."
Erik ten Hag has refused to blame goalkeeper Andre Onana in United's 3-3 draw with Galatasaray.
He said: “He is OK. It is not about an individual. Individual errors in football can make a difference and you take responsibility for it, but it is always about the team.
“We scored quickly after each other. It’s about the point when you are 2-0 up and you have to manage the game.
"It is not so easy when we give free-kicks away and we have to defend the free‑kicks better. Hakim is brilliant, I know that, and he is extraordinary.
“It is always about incidents and details and we can do better. We have to learn from it because as a team we are conceding too many goals and it is unnecessary and avoidable.
"I am sure our team is experienced and capable enough to manage this and we will do better.”
Manchester United are still bottom of Group A after drawing 3-3 at Galatasaray.
United now have to beat Bayern Munich in their final Champions League group game at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils will also hope Copenhagen draw with Galatasaray.
That is the only way the Manchester giants can advance to the Last 16 of the Champions League.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is now odds-on to leave before the end of this season.
Bookmakers Betfair were forced to revise their prices after another calamitous defensive display in the Champions League against Galatasaray saw their future in their competition put in serious doubt.
Ten Hag now faces odds of 4/6 claiming that he leaves this campaign and have also revealed their list of most likely replacements too.
Bayern Munich legend Manuel Neuer was Manchester United’s unlikely hero as he kept them in the Champions League – for now.
United are still bottom of Group A after drawing 3-3 with Galatasaray at Ali Sami Yen Stadium.
That meant the Red Devils needed Bayern to avoid a shock defeat to Copenhagen.
And the German champions – who already progressed top of the table – almost suffered a shock loss in the dying minutes.
Copenhagen star Mohamed Elyounoussi’s towering header forced the Neuer to get down low to his left side.
And the goalkeeper did excellently well to then save the rebound effort and help the Bavarians clear the ball to safety - meaning United are still in with a shout.
