Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to end the excessive spending of Manchester United by establishing a total overhaul of the players' contracts. The Sun says that the club co-owner wishes to reduce the wage bill by limiting the fixed wages of new recruits and renegotiation players. Instead, performance -based bonuses will be set up, to encourage the team to find the top of the Premier League.

However, this new policy could slow down certain recruitments and extensions of contract. The salaries of the newcomers will be maintained at a lower level until the team of Ruben Amorim is struggling again for the titles. An internal source has confirmed that this approach had already been discussed with players' agents. It remains to be seen if this reform will bear fruit and help Manchester United to reconnect with success.
