Manchester United are set for big changes under Sir Jim Ratcliffe in the weeks and months ahead and one player has now been tipped to leave in a "sensational deal" this summer.

Ratcliffe's INEOS group acquired a 27.7% share of the club in February and the British businessman is now in charge of football operations at Old Trafford.

That will include improvements to Old Trafford – or possibly even a completely new stadium – plus a fresh focus on recruitment and youth development.

But while a number of transfers will be expected this summer as part of a rebuild, there will also be a series of departures as well.

That could include defender Victor Lindelof, who has been linked with a move to Turkish giants Galatasaray.

According to Turkish outlet Aspor, the Istanbul club are lining up the Swede in a "sensational transfer" this summer.

The Swede is valued at around €15 million by Transfermarkt, but Galatasaray will hope to sign the defender for a lower fee than that.

Lindelof, who is 29 years old, joined Manchester United from Benfica in 2017 and has made over 250 appearances for the Red Devils in all competitions.
