Determined to end years of overspending, new shareholders INEOS, led by British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, are making it clear to rival clubs they will not be bullied into paying over the odds.
The Red Devils’ sporting team are expected to pursue alternative, and presumably, cheaper targets, although Ornstein has not yet named any player in particular.
United have been handed a midfield boost in the form of young star Kobbie Mainoo though. The talented teenager was allowed extra time off following his participation in England’s EUROs campaign which saw the Three Lions reach the final, before losing out to eventual champions Spain, earlier this summer.
Mainoo is now back and in with a chance of starting for Erik Ten Hag in Saturday’s Community Shield against rivals Manchester City at Wembley.
