United open to offers for key Squad Members

Manchester United will consider serious offers for any players from Ruben Amorim’s squad, including Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Højlund.

The club is not actively trying to sell the trio but acknowledges Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s concerns about being poor sellers.

With finance limited because of profitability and sustainability rules, sales have to become a key part of healthy squad management.

A credible bid for Mainoo, Garnacho, or Højlund will receive consideration, along with offers for other players.

Under Erik ten Hag, Amorim’s predecessor, key squad members Mainoo, Garnacho, and Højlund were deemed non-sellable despite interest.

United’s lack of funds means Mainoo and Garnacho, as homegrown players, would represent 100% profit under PSR.

The squad is in transition as Amorim, who took over in October, seeks to fully implement his 3-4-3 system and make signings suited to this.

Mainoo has been discussed at Chelsea, who have not ruled out moving for him, but their interest is yet to advance.

The London club’s focus is on defensive additions, and they hope to buy back Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace.

Mainoo’s contract was signed in February 2023 and is reported to be worth £20,000 a week.

The midfielder’s representatives may hope to leverage any interest to negotiate a lucrative new deal.

Mainoo scored the winner in last season’s 2-1 FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.

He became a first choice for England at Euro 2024, where he started the last four games, including the final.
