Manchester United will receive more than £ 13 million in sales costs after two transfers, but may be wonders if they should have kept the players in question
Manchester United can be left behind what could have been after two of their former players were sold for reimbursements of almost £ 100 million. The Red Devils desperately want to renew their team after a torturing campaign 2024/25.
In the past seasons, United has been destroyed by countless missteps on the transfer market, with a series of expensive signing sessions that do not live up to their price tags. The club tries to go on some of those outsiders to finance new arrivals and maintain the headroom when it comes to PSR restrictions.
Only Matheus Cunha arrived from Wolves this summer, while exhausting conversations with Brentford about another striker, Bryan Mbeumo, continue after at least two rejected bids. To make even worse, United has seen two players who let them flourish relatively cheaply and continue to secure large transfers elsewhere.
Anthony Elanga, 23, who sold United for £ 15 million to Nottingham Forest two years ago, is just a member of Newcastle United in a £ 55 million deal. Elanga appeared 55 performances for United, but was considered excess by the then head coach Erik ten Hag for the requirements.
United has retained an interest in the Swedish winger in the form of a sold -out fee with regard to profit, which means that it is said to yield £ 6 million. Although that is a useful amount, United may have been the club that picks the benefits of its potential instead of a direct rival.
Another ex-sizing player is on the road, Alvaro Carreras, who left Benfica for Real Madrid in a deal worth £ 43 million. The left back, 22, was previously part of Real's youth arrangement before he came to United in 2020.
However, again under the HAG watch, he was allowed to leave for Benfica, initially on loan, before he sealed a permanent movement for just £ 5 million. United's interest rate was retained in two ways: a sold -out fee with regard to profit and a purchasing option, Fabrizio Romano reports.
United chose not to activate the buy-back clause, although they reportedly received approximately £ 7.6 million as part of the purchase of Real. Again, United's decision not to retain or activate their back-back option, now looks doubtful, since he now lives with the 15-way European champions.
In the meantime, with another month to go before the start of the Premier League season, Mbeumo remains a Brentford player, with the two clubs that apparently not closer to closing a deal. The United is supposed to have offered more than £ 60 million – £ 55 million plus £ 7.5 million in add -ons.
However, the bees are said to demand a fixed fee that exceeds the £ 62.5 million that United Wolves has paid for Cunha. De Korrel contributes to the frustration of Amorim, who likes to do as many things as possible as quickly as possible, so that he can integrate new players into his team during an intense campaign for the season. The Red Devils start their Premier League campaign against last season, Arsenal, on Sunday 17 August.
