I won’t mind selling all my players to get them here since they are the only signings Ruben want this summer”: Manchester United’s owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe names the three players he’ll do everything possible to sign this summer

Since INEOS took over sporting affairs at Manchester United, there has been an onus on recruiting the best young talents across Europe.
Last summer, the Red Devils beat off competition from Real Madrid to land Leny Yoro while Barcelona and Ajax were left behind in the race for Sekou Kone.

The academy acquisitions of Chido Obi and Ayden Heaven from Arsenal showed that the recruitment team are no pushovers and more such headline grabbing deals are in the pipeline.

Givemesport have relayed that three of Paris Saint-Germain’s finest academy talents are looking to leave Paris and United have joined the race for the highly-rated trio.

All three of Axel Tape, Mahamadou Sangare and Oumar Camara will leave PSG once their contract ends in the summer and they are attracting significant interest from all across Europe.

Tape is a silky ball-playing centre-back who is only 17 and his background as a defensive midfielder helps him carry the ball and break lines with his passing with relative ease.
He was already scouted during the Ajax Future Cup last August when the young Red Devils met PSG’s youth team and has already made his first-team debut for PSG this season.

Sangare is 18 and excels as a striker while he can also play out wide if needed. He scored 10 times in 11 games last season and has been described as “prolific”.

Camara is a winger, who can play on either flank and he is only 17 and earned comparisons with Ousmane Dembele due to his acceleration and close control.
Christopher Vivell, who has played a key role in youth acquisition, as well as Jason Wilcox have been impressed with the young trio and will push for a summer move.

Their free agency status is a huge boost for United given their financial situation. But they will have to content with a lot of competition to win the race.

A deal will not be easy as Chelsea and Newcastle are also looking to complete a triple deal. The trio also have admirers in Germany, Italy and Spain.

But the 20-time English league champions have shown their ability to attract the best young talents in recent months and surely, INEOS can pull this off if they truly feel the wonderkids are worth pursuing.

This is exactly the kind of move that reflects **INEOS’ long-term vision** at Manchester United — building a core of **elite youth talent** to underpin a sustainable era of success. The potential triple swoop for **Axel Tape, Mahamadou Sangare, and Oumar Camara** is bold, but it fits perfectly with what Jason Wilcox and Christopher Vivell are trying to build.

### Why This Trio Matters:

– **Axel Tape (17)** – A modern centre-back with the composure of a midfielder, already breaking into PSG’s senior squad. His ability to carry the ball and break lines is tailor-made for Ten Hag or even a Ruben Amorim system.

– **Mahamadou Sangare (18)** – A prolific goal-scorer with positional versatility. United’s academy has lacked a natural finisher like him since the Greenwood breakout. His 10 goals in 11 games last season scream “next big thing.”

– **Oumar Camara (17)** – A winger with **Ousmane Dembélé-esque traits** — rapid acceleration, elite close control, and dual-footed threat. United have lacked this type of flair in wide areas at youth level.

### Strategic Value:
– **Free transfers**: Given their expiring contracts, this is a **no-brainer financially**.
– **Beating rivals**: Outmaneuvering Chelsea, Newcastle, and clubs from Germany/Italy/Spain would send a strong message about United’s pulling power under INEOS.
– **Strong pipeline**: With recent wins like **Leny Yoro**, **Sekou Kone**, **Ayden Heaven**, and **Chido Obi**, United are becoming the **go-to club for elite youth** in Europe.

If United can pull this off, it will further cement their reputation as **Europe’s next youth development powerhouse**, not just a club spending big on stars. Plus, these players would arrive at a time when the **pathway to the first team** is clearer than ever under this new footballing structure.
