Make it quick, Man Utd list 7 stars to liquidate, take money to buy super Goalkeeper before USA friendly tour
Man Utd wants to sell at least 7 players in the coming days in the summer transfer, along with welcoming goalkeeper Andre Onana before the US tour.
Daily Star said, Erik ten Hag wants to quickly remove players that he considers redundant compared to the requirements. After Mason Mount, Man Utd is expected to receive at least 2 more contracts, both for defense and attack.
However, Man Utd’s plan relies heavily on the liquidation of players because not everyone is easy to sell. In the immediate future, the names Erik ten Hag wants to push away include
Harry Maguire
Eric Bailly
Alex Telles
Fred
Donny van de Beek
Anthony Elanga
Dean Henderson
For Henderson it was easy, as he returned to ‘base’ at Carrington after the end of his loan term from Nottingham Forest just to get it right before moving on permanently.
Meanwhile, the sale of Harry Maguire is said to become even more difficult after the midfielder seriously increased his salary again after Man Utd had tickets to the Champions League next season.
However, there is consolation that Man Utd certainly cannot collect the £80 million spent on Harry Maguire, but can still report ‘profit’ under the Financial Fair Play Law thanks to the loophole in this regulation.
Specifically, because Man Utd agreed to pay the above £80 million to Leicester City for 6 years, it still owes the Foxes £ 26.6 million. So if you could sell Maguire now for just £30m, that would still count for a profit of £5m, based on depreciation.
With the remaining players Eric Bailly, Alex Telles, Fred, Donny van de Beek, Anthony Elanga, Man Utd is currently looking for ‘matches’ to … solve their headaches. Fred has Mourinho’s interest in bringing back AS Roma, but an official move from the Serie A representative has not yet been made.
Meanwhile, Man Utd is negotiating to bring in goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan. Coach Erik ten Hag identified the former student at Ajax as the number 1 goalkeeper of Man Utd next season.
He also wants the Red Devils recruitment team to complete this deal as soon as possible, because he wants Andre Onana on the US tour, with a friendly match taking place on July 20.
