Although the 2023/24 season has not ended yet, MU has officially run out of chances to get into the top 4 of the Premier League. Even the ability of the “Red Devils” to compete for 5th place to get a “ticket” (in case the Premier League has 5 places in the Champions League next season) is extremely difficult when they are 6 points behind Tottenham and play more. 1 match.
According to the terms of the contract, MU players and head coach Erik Ten Hag will have their income cut by 25% because they cannot win tickets to the Champions League. After spending 555 million pounds in the last 3 summer transfer windows, the “Red Devils” leadership was forced to tighten spending to deal with the Sustainability and Profit Rules of the Premier League organizers.
Recently, Telegraph Sport revealed that MU is ready to listen to all transfer offers for most first team players in the summer of 2024. Specifically, the team’s leadership, headed by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe “Aware of having to be flexible in the transfer market in an effort to restructure the squad in the face of challenging financial problems.”
In addition to players whose contracts expire at the end of the season such as Anthony Martial, Raphael Varane, Brandon Williams, MU wants to earn a significant amount of money from selling a few high-priced names such as Jadon Sancho, Antony or Mason Greenwood.
Another notable case is Marcus Rashford. Although they do not sell Rashford by any means, the owners still seriously consider the future of the 26-year-old star if he expresses his desire to leave to find a new challenge.
Rashford signed a new 5-year contract with MU in July 2023, enjoying a salary of 325,000 pounds/week but has dropped dramatically this season (8 goals, 5 assists after 40 matches). PSG currently wants to recruit an English striker to replace Kylian Mbappe who is about to join Real Madrid.
In the opposite direction, 3 players including Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund will be guaranteed a place. The board of directors sees them as the core of building a successful team in the coming years.
Telegraph Sport added that MU prioritizes recruiting rookies in the positions of striker, central midfielder and right-sided midfielder. Even though they keep an eye on a series of potential names like Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich) or Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen), the “Red Devils” can hardly spend an amount of 80 to 90 million pounds on each deal due to their modest transfer budget. cost.
