Manchester United want to buy the best of British when Sir Jim Ratcliffe takes control of football operations at Old Trafford.
The petrochemicals billionaire is closing in on his £1.3billion deal to buy 25 per cent of the club from the Glazers and looks set to make some significant changes when it comes to recruitment.
Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, just seven of United's major signings have been homegrown: Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Daniel James, Jadon Sancho, Mason Mount and Jonny Evans.
The new approach explains why United want to appoint a sporting director with knowledge of the domestic market, such as Paul Mitchell, Dougie Freedman or Michael Edwards.
