However, Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s reported interest in the player makes sense in the bigger picture. INEOS took Ross Barkley to Nice last season.
Ten Hag’s midfield options against Sheffield United were limited due to an injury crisis, with several key players sidelined. As a result, Manchester United didn’t have a single natural midfielder on the bench, and there were also shortages in other positions.
This may have contributed to the club’s interest in Barkley, although he wouldn’t arrive as the marquee midfield addition of the summer. Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
