Manchester United launches a major cleaning plan, 5 strong players are on the list, Manchester City s former new star deals with low prices no one wants

Recently, according to the latest news from The Sun, in order to alleviate the financial impact of missing the Champions League, Manchester United plans to raise funds by selling players this summer. Before they knew it, Manchester United's "big cleaning" plan this summer has quietly begun.

On Manchester United's sales list, two new stars from youth training, Maynu and Garnacho are particularly eye-catching. 20-year-old Argentine winger Garnacho is currently worth about £45 million. Chelsea has become very interested in him, and his disappointed look on the bench in the UEFA Cup final seems to hint at his determination to leave the team.

What is more worthy of attention is the 20-year-old midfield talent star Menu. This well-established Manchester United youth training product is worth up to 55 million pounds. Since he has not signed a professional contract with the club since his debut, the sale will bring 100% net profit to Manchester United. Behind this set of data reflects the contradiction between Manchester United's investment in youth training and business returns. Whether to sell Menu and Garnacho needs to be carefully considered. If you can stay, it is best not to sell.

In addition to the above two new stars, Manchester United's "sell list" also extends to the players on loan. Rashford and Anthony, two attackers who were once highly anticipated, were loaned to other teams this season and are now on sale. The most regrettable thing is Sancho's situation. The former Manchester City star is currently on loan at Chelsea, but the Blues have no intention of implementing the £5 million buyout clause, which means that Manchester United not only cannot cash out through him, but also needs to face the placement of the English winger again. It is reported that Leverkusen and Dortmund have shown interest in Sancho, but the negotiations are likely to revolve around loans or low-priced transfers, which is undoubtedly another blow to Manchester United, which is in urgent need of funds.

's missed the Champions League and the financial impact on Manchester United is far beyond imagination. According to a previous report released by the media, Premier League teams earn an average of about £120 million in Champions League bonus revenue in a single season, which does not include the hidden losses of commercial sponsorship and match-day revenue. In order to comply with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), Manchester United had to fill the funding gap by selling players. However, this practice of "demolting the east wall and repairing the west wall" will inevitably pose hidden dangers: when potential stocks such as Garnacho and Maynu are sold, the team's lineup depth will be further weakened, and the difficulty of competing for the Champions League qualification will increase sharply next season, thus falling into a vicious cycle of "no Champions League → lack of money → selling people → declining strength → more difficult to enter the Champions League".

Now the Red Devils Manchester United are standing at a critical crossroads. Selling players may temporarily relieve financial pressure, but how to find a balance between "monetization" and "rebuilding" tests the wisdom of Manchester United's management.
