Manchester United will be back in action at Everton this weekend after a fortnight off but it has been a far from quiet international break.
While the 10 international Reds have been away representing their nations, takeover talk has dominated the headlines and Sir Jim Ratcliffe is still awaiting confirmation of his minority stake. The INEOS chief is expected to invest £1.4billion into the club in return for a 25% share.
Ratcliffe is already getting the wheels rolling on changes with the resignation of chief executive Richard Arnold last week. The Manchester Evening News understands that work is underway to replace director of football John Murtough as well and reports on Wednesday suggested there could be more than one candidate.
