Manchester United New Hierarchy Are Set To Get Tough With United’s Highest Earners

Ratcliffe made it his mission to bring United’s spiralling wage bill under control when he was given access to the club’s books during talks over his £1.3billiion buy-in.

He has persuaded Manchester City executive Omar Berrada to move to Old Trafford as United’s new CEO with a brief to bring in the same kind of bonus-heavy blueprint that has proved so effective at the Etihad.

United have spent massive sums on failed signings in recent years, handing Cristiano Ronaldo a bank-busting £515,000-a-week to keep him away from their Manchester rivals – after also handing huge salaries to Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez in the past.

Berrada proved himself to be a skilled negotiator during his time at City – and famously walked away from deals for Harry Maguire and Declan Rice when the bidding became too rich. Ratcliffe’s INEOS group have now taken control of United’s football operation – and they want more bang for their buck.
