Sir Jim Ratcliffe, co-owner of Manchester United, has been reportedly discussing the club’s recruitment strategy with super agent Jorge Mendes as part of an overhaul of the club’s operations and scouting network. Ratcliffe is looking to leverage Mendes’ influence in the transfer market, aiming to utilize the agent’s expertise in player recruitment.
This strategy has seen success with other clubs such as Wolves and Nottingham Forest, both of which heavily relied on players represented by Mendes. Ratcliffe’s vision for the club involves signing young and ambitious players who are eager to make an impact, with a focus on building a strong team rather than spending large sums on a few star players.
He outlined his goal to find new talent, emphasizing the importance of this approach in managing a football club in today’s landscape.
