Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to see Manchester United buy big in January.
The English billionaire is waiting for his offer to buy 25 per cent of the club to be accepted by the board.
Aware of a section of the United support being left underwhelmed by the development, Ratcliffe hopes to lift fans with some major additions in January.
ESPN says Ratcliffe 'is conscious of backlash' because his deal will allow the Glazers to stay and it's thought a positive January window would help make a good first impression.
However, the Nice owner is also aware United will have to work to Financial Fair Play parameters.
