Without skimping, Ratcliffe puts an expiration date on Casemiro and Varane

Manchester United is immersed in a process of convulsive change, in which many of the certainties that began the season, from world-renowned players to the coach himself, are called into question, and on top of that the club is going to undergo severe changes with the arrival of a new investor, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who has already stated that he is against the continuity of Casemiro and Varane; So much so that the Red Devils are already playing with two names for substitutes.

One of the ideas of the new red devils is that they begin to sign more with the intention of solidifying long-term projects and less of already proven stars, with baggage in their careers. From the latter comes precisely Ratcliffe's animosity for the Brazilian and the French, which is already being reflected in the Ten Hag lineups, which has removed the world champion with France from the eleven in 2018. But, what about the first?

Well, the information is clear in this regard, although it is by no means simple or cheap. And those chosen to replace the international with the five-time world champion and the former teammate in the white defense of Sergio Ramos are nothing more and nothing less than two decisive players in Benfica, João Neves and Antonio Silva, defensive and central pivot of 19 and 20 years old, respectively, who play for the Portuguese club.

The two are key players in the Portuguese team and therefore will be expensive players, but United's new drift considers that this type of footballer is where they have to spend the enormous amounts of money that United usually invests in signings and not in veterans.

Ratcliffe's competition

Teams like Real Madrid have shown Ratcliffe, Ten Hag and company that betting on the future is the way or at least that is the idea. Be that as it may, the arrival at Old Trafford of the names of Neves and Silva only confirms the desire for a change with Casemiro and Varane; The change should take place in summer.
