Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to instruct a new-look Manchester United recruitment team to prioritise homegrown talent as he aims to fire the club back to English football’s summit.

The INEOS chief is closing in on a 25 percent stake in United, with his £1.3billion buy-out edging closer to completion.

Ratcliffe’s group will assume control of United's footballing operation and have already started planning an overhaul of their recruitment set-up.

Mail Sport has learned the billionaire businessman is eager to see more of a domestic presence - particularly within the core of the team - at United.
