Man United ready to sell numerous first-team players to finance their two targets
In order to secure the services of Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana, Manchester United are willing to part ways with a number of first-team starts as a means of generating transfer fee revenue.
Erik ten Hag has made Onana and Hojlund his top priorities in the pursuit of new players to bolster the goalkeeper and striker positions, respectively.
The transfer of Hojlund is proving to be more difficult to complete, despite the fact that a deal for the Inter goalkeeper is on the verge of being finalized as United and the Serie A giants are getting closer to reaching an agreement.
According to recent reports, Atalanta turned down a proposal from the Red Devils that would have involved the transfer of some players to Italy as part of the agreement.
Hojlund has been assigned a hefty price tag of €100 million by Gian Piero Gasperini’s camp, who are only interested in conducting business in the form of a cash-only deal.
United considers this to be unreasonable, but discussions will continue in an effort to bring the quoted amount down.
The information that the Red Devils are eager to sell players like Fred, Anthony Elanga, Donny van de Beek, Eric Bailly, and Brandon Williams was published by the Daily Mail.
The arrival of Onana at Old Trafford may also be the end of Dean Henderson’s career, since Nottingham Forest is interested in signing him.
Should offers that are satisfactory come in, the twenty-time English champions might be persuaded to allow players like Jadon Sancho, Harry Maguire, Anthony Martial, and Scott McTominay to leave the club.
The money that is made from the sale of these players will be put toward acquiring Onana, Hojlund, and any other players or teams that Ten Hag has his sights set on.
Fred and Elanga are at the top of the list of people who are most likely to quit. Both Fulham and Everton are keeping an eye on the two players as potential additions to their rosters.
In especially regarding the Swedish player, the Toffees have already submitted an offer in the range of £15–£20 million to bring him to Goodison Park on a permanent basis.
