Manchester United is unlikely to make major purchases during the January transfer window despite receiving a £79 million investment from Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Ratcliffe, who acquired a 27.7 percent stake in United in February, fulfilled the final installment of a £1.25 billion agreement with the Glazers. This latest injection brings Ratcliffe's total stake to 28.94 percent. While the club posted a record revenue of £661.8 million for 2023-24, they also reported a net loss of £113.2 million.
