Britain's "Sun" said that Manchester United has a high probability of being empty this season, and the club will carry out a major purge this summer. According to British media, as many as 16 players are about to leave, and the Sun even idealized that Manchester United could earn £241 million through the sale of players.
Manchester United are likely to miss out on the top four of the Premier League this season and miss next season's Champions League, which will result in serious financial losses for the club and the owner's Glazer family will reduce the transfer investment. If you can get £200 million through selling people, it will certainly be significant for the summer transfer window reconstruction.
Unfortunately, the possibility of this happening is basically non-existent, because the same transfer window sells double-digit players, which has never happened in The history of Manchester United. Coupled with the need to bring in reinforcements to fill the vacancy, it is another major task, so It is unlikely that United will purge so many players this summer.
Not only that, but it is well known that Manchester United's ability to sell people is even worse than the ability to recruit reinforcements, and the data shows that since the retirement of Furjue, Manchester United have only received a transfer fee of 298 million pounds through the sale of players for more than a decade. With a summer of £241 million, I'm afraid there is only a theoretical possibility.
In the Sun's fantasy, United could get £32 million by selling Cristiano Ronaldo. In fact, the Red Devils imported Portuguese superstars from Juventus, which cost less than 20 million, and now that he is a year older, he wants to sell at a higher price, which is undoubtedly a fool's dream. In addition, Rashford, which is valued at 77 million pounds, is probably also priceless.
United have identified players who can be purged without obstacles, including a few big players whose contracts are about to expire, including defender Pogba, midfielders Jesse Lingard and Mata, and striker Cavani. They are free transfers and do not need to be questioned by the club.
Like Pogba, who, according to the latest rumors, has been offered a new contract from his old club Juventus, is willing to give an annual salary worth a total of 10 million pounds, including a fixed salary of 7.5 million pounds, and a bonus of 2.5 million pounds, and invite him to join on a free transfer. According to fifa's transfer charter, Pogba, who is in the last half of the contract period, can now freely contact overseas clubs, and Juve meet the conditions, so they can negotiate with them without Manchester United's permission.
