Manchester United\u2019s takeover saga has taken another twist after reports claimed that Sir Jim Ratcliffe was planning on restructuring his offer to make it more appealing to the Glazers, as neither the Brit nor Sheikh Jassim have yet to meet the current owners\u2019 asking price of \u00a36billion. However, there has been speculation that Jassim could make another proposal closer to that valuation which may see him become the new custodian of the club. His arrival would likely prompt a mass spending spree, but that may not be beneficial to some players currently at the club. And\u00a0Express Sport<\/em> has looked at four players who could be in danger of being replaced.<\/p>\n Jadon Sancho\u2019s feud with boss Erik ten Hag has thrown his future at Old Trafford into doubt, but if Jassim does take over before next summer then it is likely that some star names could be signed to help bolster the forward line.<\/p>\n With Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford\u2019s places secure in the front four, while United already made a huge potential \u00a372million outlay on striker Rasmus Hojlund, that big-name addition could come on the right.<\/p>\n United have already had to spend one summer cautious of Financial Fair Play constraints and with Jassim likely planning to splash the cash upon his arrival, getting a fee and Sancho\u2019s wages off the books would be seen as a major positive if his spat with Ten Hag cannot come to an amicable conclusion.<\/p>\n JUST IN <\/strong> Sofyan Amrabat’s comments after Man Utd beat Crystal Palace speak volumes[INTERVIEW] <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anthony Martial is playing for his Man Utd future, with his contract up at the end of the season and the club appearing unsure whether to activate the one-year option in his current deal.<\/p>\n He started the Carabao Cup 3-0 win over Crystal Palace on Tuesday evening, but an influx of Jassim\u2019s cash could mean that Martial\u2019s services are no longer required and there would be no issue signing another striker to compete with Hojlund.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

Another centre-back signing would further reduce the former captain\u2019s standing in the squad, if Raphael Varane takes a step back and the favoured trio of the Frenchman, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof are all retained.<\/p>\n It is likely that another centre-back coming in would see another leave and it could be time up for Harry Maguire, who has seemingly failed to win over Ten Hag.<\/p>\nJadon Sancho<\/h3>\n
