Man Utd takeover news LIVE: Sancho urged to leave Prem, Sir Alex breaks silence on Ratcliffe, Varane transfer EXCLUSIVE

MANCHESTER UNITED are plotting a major clearout which doesn’t include Jadon Sancho – but the winger has been urged to leave the Premier League regardless after his exile.

Meanwhile, United legend Sir Alex Ferguson has broken his silence on Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s expected buy-in at the club.

Ratcliffe is edging closer to completing his £1.3billion deal to buy 25 percent of the club, and Sir Alex has had his say.
