£35 million transfer budget claim
This week, The Daily Mail reported that United will use cash from player sales to augment its summer transfer budget of just over £35 million.
United is preparing for a busy transfer season, and the Manchester Evening News reported in February that player sales could set a record this summer. They will be looking to add more than £100 million to the budget because they have an overinflated team and numerous players out of favor, including those on loan like Mason Greenwood, Jadon Sancho, Donny van de Beek, and Hannibal Mejbri.
Next year’s contracts for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, and Facundo Pellistri expire, although offers for Casemiro and Antony, among other players, will be accepted.
Just five players— have left United for a price of at least £25 million, demonstrating how poor their sales record is. On the other hand, in recent years, teams like Chelsea and Manchester City have sold players for enormous sums of money in order to finance significant spending sprees.
