The INEOS founder is set to inherit sporting control once his \u00a31.3billion agreement for a 25 per cent stake in United is ratified.<\/p>\n<p>And he wants to fix the club&#8217;s faltering recruitment across the decade since Sir Alex Ferguson&#8217;s retirement by focusing on signings closer to home.<\/p>\n<p>But how has that strategy worked for United since 2013? Express Sport rates the Red Devils&#8217; eight homegrown recruits during that period&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>Luke Shaw &#8211; 8<\/h2>\n<p>United signed Luke Shaw as an 18-year-old from Southampton in a \u00a330m deal in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The England international has endured his struggles at the club but has flourished into one of Europe&#8217;s best left-backs.<\/p>\n<p>Now 28, Shaw is one of Erik ten Hag&#8217;s dressing room leaders, and United&#8217;s investment nine years ago has ultimately come good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click\u00a0<\/strong><strong>here<\/strong><strong>\u00a0to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive Man Utd news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>Paolo Maldini fuels talk of surprise Man Utd role under Sir Jim Ratcliffe[NEWS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Luke-Shaw-has-been-a-successful-homegrown-signing-5094706.jpg?r=1701430065946\"><\/p>\n<h2>Daniel James &#8211; 7<\/h2>\n<p>Daniel James gets a high rating simply for allowing United to take advantage of the British transfer market.<\/p>\n<p>United signed James from Swansea City for \u00a315m in 2019, but he ultimately wasn&#8217;t of the required quality, registering nine goals and nine assists in 74 appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Rivals Leeds United made the transfer worthwhile financially, though, splashing \u00a325m on the 26-year-old winger two years later.<\/p>\n<h2>Aaron Wan-Bissaka &#8211; 6<\/h2>\n<p>The jury is still out on Aaron Wan-Bissaka, which is a bizarre statement to make when he&#8217;s four years into his United career.<\/p>\n<p>Wan-Bissaka is undoubtedly one of Europe&#8217;s best one-on-one defenders, and he has improved his attacking traits. But the ex-Crystal Palace star has plenty to do to live up to his \u00a350m transfer fee in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Whether he is productive enough offensively to have a long-term future under Ten Hag remains to be seen. He must be commended for saving his United career after he seemed destined to depart last year, though.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<h2>Harry Maguire &#8211; 4<\/h2>\n<p>This is harsh. Harry Maguire would justify a slightly higher rating if United hadn&#8217;t aimlessly splurged \u00a380m to make him the most expensive defender in history in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Maguire has enjoyed an unexpected renaissance this season, having played a bit-part role in Ten Hag&#8217;s maiden campaign and being stripped of the captaincy in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>But he is the finest example of over-inflated prices in the British transfer market, a brutal trap Sir Jim must avoid.<\/p>\n<h2>Jadon Sancho &#8211; 2<\/h2>\n<p>Jadon Sancho was the subject of a similarly huge outlay, setting United back \u00a373m in 2021. But he is even further away from justifying that price than Maguire.<\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old has produced just 12 goals and six assists in 82 games, becoming one of the latest exciting attackers to flop at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>He was absent for months last season and has been missing for just as long this term, but this time through banishment after effectively calling Ten Hag a liar on social media. He&#8217;ll likely leave in January.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> DON&#8217;T MISS <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Erik ten Hag \u2018decides Man Utd\u2019s next prodigy\u2019 after Garnacho and Mainoo[NEWS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd woes worsen with Andre Onana at risk of \u2018FIFA ban\u2019[REPORT] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd battle with Tottenham for Dragusin as Arsenal eye \u00a334m Frimpong deal[BLOG] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Mason-Mount-has-a-lot-of-convincing-to-do-5094709.jpg?r=1701430066099\"><\/p>\n<h2>Jonny Evans &#8211; 6<\/h2>\n<p>Jonny Evans returning to United on a permanent basis in 2023 was on nobody&#8217;s bingo card, even while he was training with the club in pre-season.<\/p>\n<p>But it actually&#8230; hasn&#8217;t been an awful decision. Ten Hag has utilised Evans more than expected due to Lisandro Martinez&#8217;s continued injury woes. He has deputised admirably.<\/p>\n<p>The 35-year-old won&#8217;t be at the club beyond this season, but he hasn&#8217;t put much of a foot wrong when handed an opportunity as a left-sided centre-back.<\/p>\n<h2>Mason Mount &#8211; 3<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to judge how successful the \u00a360m deal to bring Mason Mount from Chelsea in the summer will be in the long-term. But early signs raise serious questions.<\/p>\n<p>Mount was entering the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge, so his large transfer fee suggested he was set for a prominent role.<\/p>\n<p>But between two separate injuries since his arrival, the 24-year-old had to watch Scott McTominay restore his starting status from the bench. When he&#8217;s been on the pitch, his role has been unclear. Early days, though.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1841085\/Man-Utd-transfer-news-Sir-Jim-Ratcliffe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andre Onana is struggling at Man Utd | Football Digest Sir Jim Ratcliffe plans to revert Manchester United&#8217;s primary transfer <span class=\"more-text\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":301151,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
