13 departures, 5 signings – this is what Manchester United’s transfer list looks like.
Manchester United’s list of exits this summer is in the double digits, but the exit rankings will reveal more than the final tally.
Manchester United’s spending plans for this summer range from surplus to sellable to unsellable.
United were quietly content with Deadwood, who postponed last year despite the big player’s contract expiring. United inexplicably tried to renew the contracts of Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba.
If United qualify for the Champions League, they will be in a stronger position to buy and sell.
Last summer’s only asset for sale was James Garner, who contributed to a successful season at Nottingham Forest rather than a disastrous season led by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick.
United’s most expensive deal was due out last summer with Shredder, but the most prominent player not eligible for renewal has made two starts in the last three years. Fellow injury-prone centre-back Axel Tuanzebe, who is expected to be sacked along with Phil Jones, was called up to the same United squad for the first time in December 2015. David Cameron was still prime minister.
United’s number of exits is in double digits, including some under-18s fringe players who are quick to accept that their development must continue elsewhere.
When it comes to top players, I have to admit that United would be at a loss for who to sign. Like last year, it would be the academy graduates who are most likely to win. The only other sale was Andreas Pereira, in a £10million deal from Fulham, with agent Kia Joorabsian influencing his transfer policy.
Dean Henderson, Scott McTominay and Anthony Elanga could see United recover tens of millions of dollars. The downside to Henderson is that hamstring surgery could keep him out until early August, and with the start of the season looming, it’s unlikely any serious club will be looking for a new No.1 player. .
Another long-term absentee, Donny van de Beek, could make more appearances in pre-season, when United are scheduled to play up to eight games. At least six players are slated for the first team, with a second 11-man potentially sent to Dublin during the weekend before the start of the season.
The more games you play, the more attention you get. Van de Beek is unlikely to be for sale given injuries, the length of his absence, a memorable three years at Manchester and the length of his contract (maximum expiry June 2026). The 2004 Player Analysis Sheet, published in Sir Alex Ferguson’s 2015 book Leading, categorizes players into squads, surplus players, youth potentials and transfer targets/opportunities.
The "excess" would includeincludee Jones, Tuanzebe, Eric Bailly, Alex Telles, Brandon Williams and Elanga. Van de Beek was pardoned for being Bruno Fernandes’ replacement No. 10, but the similarities end there.
If you want to streamline Ferguson’s future plans, “assets available for sale and for rent” would be another category. Henderson will be among them, as United look to phase out David De Gea, unless Eric ten Haag decides to promote him.
There will be winners for Harry Maguire and Anthony Martial, two players United invested £138m in four years apart. United would like to give half of that to the duo, but Maguire has been robbed and Martial will be the man to use if United sign a new striker.
Maguire’s move would give United an opportunity to bring in a new centre-back, ideally another left-footed centre-back, to level the defense. Luke Shaw has had great organic growth and his transfer potential could see Alvaro Fernandes make a bigger commitment after a good season on l“an at Championships Preston. .
Hannibal Mabley, whose reputation has waned since being bought by Ten Hague, should fall into a similar sellable category. The Tunisian international, who refused to sign a contract extension as part of his one-season loan deal with Birmingham, is also another player who has come under fire for leaving the academy assembly line. . Facundo Peristri and Zidane Iqbal will have to pay off their loans after a disappointing season.
If United want Ten Haags interested in Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremy Frimpong, they will need to make room for the Netherlands international. A move from Sergino Dest last year did not materialize as there was no replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
One-Bissaka’s share price has risen in the past five months, and Diogo Dalot, who has yet to agree a new deal, has attracted widespread interest across the continent. United would benefit from signing Dalot, who signed for £19million five years ago, but not the £50million Wan-Bissaka.
Senior officials have repeatedly emphasized that the needs of the team are their top priority and that United are aware of this. They have just four experienced central midfielders, and with the intention of adding young options, those who trim a bloated defense featuring a back five of Williams, Tuanzebe, Jones, Bailly and Telles. Would be wise
Fred, who turned 30 in March, could be close to reaching the final with United as his contract expires next year. With the Profitability and Sustainability Rules allowing for greater scrutiny of club finances, there is a more pressing need to capitalize on players from high-profile teams rather than let their contracts expire. It is sex.
Jadon Sancho could wait as third on the right and left, while Alejandro Garnacho is fit again and on a longer-term deal, and United have plans to bring Amado back into the squad. Standing. Acquisitions for Sancho are rare, but United have managed to balance their record by negotiating a multi-season loan deal and temporarily paying the full salary of the borrower.
Sancho was bought for £72.9m more than two years ago and may never go on sale.
