With Man United transfer news slower than many of their rivals’ this summer, we’re taking a look at how the Red Devils are hoping to offload some of their unwanted stars.
Manchester United have been somewhat quiet in the transfer market this window.
Ruben Amorim’s side have so far brought in only one first-team quality player in Matheus Cunha.
The former Wolves forward arrived at the start of July for a fee of around £65 million.
But attempts to bring in others, such as Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, have been slow.
And a big factor in United’s problems is the need to offload several high-wage stars with no future at Old Trafford.
With a combined weekly wage of close to £1 million per week, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho are draining United of cash while all are unlikely to ever kick a ball for the club again.
The best UK football betting sites currently have United at 40/1 outsiders for the title this season.
As a result, the club will be desperate to find these four stars a route out the door in order to fund some new arrivals.
Below, we’ve taken a look at how each might be able to depart this summer.
Man United Transfer News As Amorim Tries To Shift Deadwood
Marcus Rashford Transfer To Juventus?
According to reports, Man United academy graduate Marcus Rashford may finally be close to a permenant exit.
The 27-year-old spent last season on loan at Aston Villa.
But despite a significant upturn in form at the Midlands club, he was unable to earn a full-time switch.
Thanks to his £325,000 per week salary, Rashford’s wage demands are off-putting to most clubs.
However, news emerging this week suggests Juventus may be ready to rescue the 62-cap England international.
According to Italian outlet Gianluca Di Marzio, Juve have enquired about Rashford’s availability and price tag.
No deal has yet been struck, but all parties are thought to be keen on reaching an agreement.
And a move overseas could be the perfect way for Rashford to reignite his stuttering career.
Jadon Sancho News Could See Him Link With Rashford
Potentially joining Rashford at Juventus is England teammate Jadon Sancho.
The winger has endured a torrid spell since signing for United in 2021.
With poor form and public fallouts the story of his United career, Sancho has spent most of the last two seasons on loan.
First with former club Borussia Dortmund, then with Chelsea, he has tried to regain some of the form that made him one of Europe’s top young talents a few years ago.
Still only 25, the right move could allow Sancho to show his obvious underlying talent.
And it seems Juventus are keen on more than one United winger.
Juve are reportedly closing in on Sancho’s signing after ‘positive talks’ with United and Sancho’s representatives.
Winger Nicolas Gonzalez is expected to leave Turin this summer, with the Argentinian’s departure opening the door for Sancho to join.
Will Manchester United Finally Sell Antony?
One of the longest transfer sagas in Man United’s recent history has been that of Antony.
The Brazilian has flopped at Old Trafford, scoring just 12 times in 96 appearances.
But selling him has proved near-impossible.
A loan move to Real Betis last season offered Antony a glimmer of hope, with the Spanish side keen to make the move permanent.
However, United’s £50 million price tag means Betis will be unlikely to muster the funds to sign him.
There are other clubs interested, though. In the Bundesliga, former United boss Erik ten Hag is said to be keen on bringing his former player to Bayer Leverkusen.
And RB Leipzig have also been linked with the winger.
Close to home, both Brighton and Newcastle are said to hold an interest.
But United’s insistence of recouping as much of their £82 million spend on Antony as possible means any deal is proving hard work.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Atletico Madrid were willing to pay up to £65 million to sign Antony.
Such a deal has yet to materialise, though.
Alejandro Garnacho To Aston Villa For A Huge Fee?
Last but by no means least on our list of Manchester United players the club are desperate to sell is Alejandro Garnacho.
The 21-year-old Argentinian has been told to train away from his peers after a high-profile spat with manager Ruben Amorim.
Linked to a number of clubs, Manchester United are expected to demand a huge fee if Aston Villa hope to sign Alejandro Garnacho.
However, it’s Chelsea who appear to be leading the race now.
According to the best new betting sites in the UK, the Blues are 1/2 favourites to be Garnacho’s next club.
Wherever he ends up, though. United need him and the others on this list gone ASAP.
If the Red Devils want any hope of a successful season, they must quickly offload these four wasted talents.
Fans will be hoping that any outgoing Man United transfer news involves shifting this £150 million collection of deadwood.
