Funding for a Striker

Jul 8, 2023 6:46 AM

There is no doubt about the fact that Manchester United needs a striker big time this season but the problem for United is that they needs to remain within the guidelines of Financial Fair Play and they have already spent the majority of their budget on Mason Mount and they are also looking to sign Onana as they needs a goalkeeper too so in there almost all of the available transfer budget will be consumed on these two transfer while their priority of a Striker remains there but they will needs funds for that .

For that purpose following are some of the players that they can sell in order to generate funds for a striker transfer because a big player like Kane or Osimhen will cost in excess of 100m .

1. Jadon Sancho

                 Since joining from Dortmund he has proved to be nothing short of a disaster as he has been unable to settle into the lineup and has thus far only produced 12 goals and 6 assists where as playing for Dortmund he has scored more than 50 goals and also had 60+ assists too .

So he is one player United can cash on and if they are willing to sell him than he can easily generate 50m or so and another advantage they can take from this transfer is that he can used in a player swap deal with Spurs for the signing of Kane that will make negotiations much easier for United as Spurs do hold a interest in him.

2. Harry Maguire

                 The most expensive defender in the history of English football is nothing short of a disaster and to some extent United bosses also knows this fact deep inside which isn't great for them . Now he has been largely out of favor at United where they give him a chance even below Luke Shaw who is a left back by trade so this is where United needs to be smart and should sell him to generate some funds .

PSG were interested in him and although they have signed Ugrate they still may be interested in signing him as Ramos looks set to leave PSG this summer so they might he tempted to being in another center back in that case he can easily generate a transfer fee in the region of 40m or so.

3. Scot Mactimoney

           His United career has been cut into two halves at times he looks undroppable and other times he do struggles to get into the team so as he is still young there is a good transfer fee can be generated from him and few clubs have shown interest in him previously but it all depends on their transfer negotiations if they can generate anything in the region of 30m that will be great for them. 

4. Dean Henderson 

              This is a very curious case something that is hard to understand that is where only United can explain what they are doing . For the past two seasons he has shown in Premier League that is right up their with some of the best goalkeepers in Premier League be it keeping clean sheets or making big saves and yet with the imminent departure of David De Gea around the corner it looks like United are not satisfied with him as they are signing a new number 1.  

So if they are finally going to sell him then there is a good chance that he can he can generate something in the region of 40m which will come pretty handy for United .
