This move is not only to free up the wage bill but also to create more budget to invest in new goals, in the context of the team needing to improve its performance in the Premier League. Currently, MU has only won 3 points in the last 5 matches, putting the team in an alarming state. To change the situation, the club must find ways to cut the wage bill and make the most of opportunities to sell players who no longer contribute significantly.
Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen, both of whom will enter the final six months of their contracts in January, are on the club's transfer list. If they leave early, United will not only avoid losing them for free but also save around £7m from their wage bill.
The Swedish centre-back has had a series of fitness problems since the start of the season. After injuring his toe in a series of friendly matches, Lindelof has been absent due to a recurrence of a hamstring injury while on international duty. Despite returning to the pitch, his form has not met expectations, forcing MU to consider selling him in January.
Christian Eriksen has also fallen out of favour under Ruben Amorim. The Danish midfielder has played just 94 minutes in the Premier League this season and was substituted early in the League Cup tie against Tottenham after an unconvincing performance. Brentford, where Eriksen once shone, or Ajax could be his next destination if he accepts a pay cut to continue his career.
Letting Lindelof and Eriksen go will not only ease financial pressure but also create space for potential new recruits or young players. This is part of the strategy to restructure the squad of MU, to regain its position in the Premier League. If successful, this winter transfer window could become the foundation for the revival of the Red Devils in the rest of the season.
