Sir Jim Ratcliffe makes solution to Manchester United injury woe a priority
United’s season was disrupted by more than 60 injuriesBrailsford and head of sports medicine leading push for fix
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has identified Manchester United’s dire injury record as a critical area to address, believing this will hugely improve performance after a season in which Erik ten Hag’s players sustained more than 60 injuries.
Ratcliffe and his key lieutenant, Sir Dave Brailsford, are intent on strengthening United in the transfer window but are conscious that a squad of quality players is of no use if many are serially available. Ten Hag’s selection and ability to have a consistent way of playing were constantly disrupted, with the defence particularly affected.
