Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is likely to be given a reduced role in transfer dealings in the coming months.
The plan at United is for INEOS to buy a minority stake from the Glazer family.
Their chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe would then assume sporting control, per various British media reports.
Now the i adds that if that does come to pass, Ratcliffe would want Ten Hag to focus more on coaching.
While his input would be part of the transfer process, Ratcliffe and the footballing specialists he appoints would oversee transfers.
The British billionaire has identified poor recruitment as the no.1 problem at the club.
