Andre Onana is struggling at Man Utd | Football Digest<\/h3>\n

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is already putting transfer plans into place as he waits for his \u00a31.4billion deal for a 25 per cent stake in Manchester United to be ratified, according to reports. A transfer strategy reset is on the horizon at Old Trafford, with the 71-year-old set to focus on recruitment close to home.<\/p>\n

According to the Mail, Sir Jim will order his new-look recruitment team to prioritise homegrown talent if they possess the required quality.<\/p>\n

United are among the Premier League heavyweights to have floated away from domestic talent in favour of the overseas market in recent years.<\/p>\n

However, the INEOS founder wants to re-establish a local core in Erik ten Hag’s squad despite acknowledging that the British market tends to be over-inflated.<\/p>\n

Sir Jim is said to view experience in English football as a key trait United should look to exploit once he inherits sporting control from the Glazer family.<\/p>\n

And it’s claimed that United have already identified two Premier League players to potentially pursue next summer, likely the first transfer window under Sir Jim’s influence.<\/p>\n

The Mail report that the Red Devils are one of the clubs closely monitoring Brentford striker Ivan Toney upon his return to football.<\/p>\n

Toney is expected to leave Brentford next summer, and Arsenal and Chelsea have also been touted with an interest in the 27-year-old.<\/p>\n

A switch to Premier League title challengers Arsenal is said to appeal to Toney, who made his England debut in a 2-0 win against Ukraine in March.<\/p>\n

United are also reportedly eyeing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi as they search for a long-term replacement for Raphael Varane.<\/p>\n

Guehi has become one of the most highly-rated centre-backs in the Premier League since leaving Chelsea for Selhurst Park and has earned nine England caps.<\/p>\n
