MU need to be strong in selling players

Despite losing the FA Cup final, it is undeniable that coach Erik Ten Hag had a successful first season when he led MU to a third place finish in the Premier League and won the Carabao Cup. Of course, that is not the final destination for the Dutch coach.

The Old Trafford team will have to aim to compete for the Premier League title as well as regain their position in the Champions League. To do that, the Red Devils need to upgrade their squad even more.

As the Dutch strategist has shared many times, he needs a few transfer periods and must have more quality names. The shopping budget will certainly not be small. And to mobilize, MU will need to let go of many players in the current squad.

Remember, even with strong investment from owners, generating revenue from player sales is to ensure compliance with financial fair play laws.

Currently, there are many players who are no longer in coach Erik Ten Hag's long-term plans and some have failed to meet professional expectations. Letting them go is also aimed at avoiding a "surplus" crisis, as well as creating a door for them to play more in a new shirt.

Here are the names that could be on the transfer list this summer:

Scott McTominay

The Scottish midfielder came through the club's youth system and has impressed alongside Eriksen in recent seasons.

But then McTominay lost his form and lost his starting place to Casemiro. Even when the midfield pillars were absent, he was still the choice behind Bruno, Sabitzer and Fred.

This is the right time for MU to say goodbye to their "son". Especially when there are some teams showing interest in McTominay, especially Newcastle.

The 26-year-old midfielder has a lot of experience playing in the Premier League, which can be useful for many teams. MU can earn about 35 million Euros from this deal.

Harry Maguire

In the summer of 2019, MU spent more than 80 million Euros to bring the English midfielder to Old Trafford.

In the first two seasons, Maguire played relatively well, helping MU always be in the top 4 and he was also given the captain's armband by coach Solskjaer.

But then Maguire's form gradually declined and people only remember him for his silly mistakes. Currently Maguire is only the 5th choice in the center-back position of MU, after Luke Shaw, who is only used to playing left-back.

The club no longer value Maguire, while the player is probably not happy with the current situation. A farewell could happen as soon as the summer transfer window opens.

The value of this central defender has decreased a lot, but MU can still earn about 30 million Euros.

Fred

To be fair, the Brazilian midfielder has had a decent season. He burst onto the scene in the middle of the season, helping United beat Barcelona in the Europa League and progress to the Carabao Cup.

But Fred has not yet overcome the situation of good games and bad games. As people often jokingly say, Fred is "stable" inconsistent. This Brazilian midfielder is no longer a regular starter.

It is likely that coach Erik Ten Hag will buy more quality new names for the midfield area, so it is time to completely end the duo Fred and Scott McTominay. soon

Fred is still in good shape, plays with passion and can shine at important moments. Therefore, selling Fred could bring in 30 million Euros.

Dean Henderson

A rather unfortunate case, because the Carrington training academy rarely produces such a quality goalkeeper.

But with coach Ole favoring De Gea too much, Dean is determined to leave to be the main player more often, even on loan.

The English goalkeeper had an impressive first season for Nottingham Forest but was then unlucky enough to suffer an injury. Up to now, there is no sign that he can be used at MU next season.

With his ability, Dean Henderson can play for many Premier League teams. A minimum price of 20 million Euros is worthy for a permanent contract to buy this goalkeeper.

Martial and Donny Van De Beek

Many Red Devils fans have lost patience with these two players. When their playing time is getting less and less due to injuries. It is clear that the future of MU cannot be trusted with them.

One difficulty for the club's management is that it is not easy to sell these two players at the moment. Other teams are very afraid of Martial's injury sensitivity and Van De Beek's slow adaptation.

In case there are offers from outside and the players are convinced to agree, MU should probably only expect to receive a small amount, from 5 to 10 million Euros for both.

Brandon Williams and Anthony Elanga

They are all young players, all of whom have played in the starting lineup of MU, although not many.

But the common point is that no one has developed as expected, and gradually disappeared. This season, Elanga is considered to be no longer used in the second leg, and Brandon Williams is only seen in training sessions.

The positions they play are now filled with better names. It's time for these young men to find new homes.

Last summer United sold James Garner to Everton for more than €10m. This summer they could expect a similar figure for either Williams or Elanga, or both players altogether.

Jadon Sancho

This is probably the most controversial name on this list. And it is also the case that MU needs to consider the most.

Sancho still has certain qualities, this season still has 7 goals and 3 assists in all competitions. But Sancho's ability to contribute to the game is clearly below expectations.

The fast, physical style of the Premier League combined with the pressure of a high price tag and salary has made Sancho's legs lose the confidence and ease compared to his time at Dortmund.

Whether the winger stays or goes depends on who United can bring in in the attacking midfield positions, as well as the level of offers from other teams.

In case coach Ten Hag is no longer on the same path with Sancho, MU must also determine that it is difficult to collect a high transfer fee. The number may only be from 30 to 45 million Euros.

Revenue from player sales

As the above comments show, if not counting Jadon Sancho, MU can earn more than 120 million Euros (about more than 103 million Pounds) from selling players.

Maybe not all of them will be released, but there should be at least 3-4 deals. The minimum goal is that the money brought in will be enough for the team to buy a blockbuster transfer. In addition, it is also to somewhat balance the salary fund.

Another thing that needs to be done is that MU must carry out transfer plans early to avoid being put in a passive position and having their prices forced down like in recent transfer periods.
