Manchester United investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe has drawn up an ambitious plan for the transfer market.

The Red Devils are set for a very quiet January transfer window, with the focus being on releasing players.

However, United will be looking to return to their big spending ways in the summer.

Per The Standard, United have a four-man transfer plan as they look to back manager Erik ten Hag or his replacement.

United want a forward who can play alongside Rasmus Hojlund, along with a no.8 midfielder, centre back, and a right-back.

The club are targeting the likes of Crystal Palace's Michael Olise, Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite, and Nice's Jean Clair Todibo.
