Ratcliffe intends to bring Luis Campos to Old Trafford

The 69-year-old is plotting on hiring transfer 'genius' Luis Campos, a football figure who has unearthed some of the current stars in European football, according to the Daily Mail.

Campos is the most sought-after high-profile football director, having worked with the likes of Real Madrid, Monaco, Lille and PSG.

The 58-year-old, currently at PSG, would work in a similar role to the one he has at PSG as a performance and recruitment advisor. Recruitment at Old Trafford since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement has been underwhelming and Ratcliffe, together with Campos, will want to correct that.

Ratcliffe made his intention to buy Manchester United last month through his spokesperson.

If the club is for sale, Jim is definitely a potential buyer.
If something like this was possible, we would be interested in talking with a view to long-term ownership.
Jim is looking at what can be done now and, knowing how important the club is to the city, it feels like the time is right for a reset."

The billionaire owns French side Nice, Swiss club Lausanne-Sport and Ineos Grenadiers cycling team. His company, Ineos has a partnership with the Mercedes Formula 1 team.

Britain's richest man want to takeover Manchester United

Sports Brief earlier reported that Britain's richest man was a potential Manchester United buyer free United fans who feel their club has been exploited by the Glazer family who took over in 2005.

The Glazer's ownership has been protested by United fans who have let their emotions be known, especially when they included the club in a potential European Super League.
