‘More likely than not’: Whitwell drops transfer bombshell over Ten Hag signing who’s seemingly played his last Utd game

Manchester United are yet to sanction any outgoings in the summer window thus far, which may cause complications when they look to bolster Ruben Amorim’s ranks in the coming weeks.

Heading into the transfer period, it was already claimed that the Red Devils had the funds available to facilitate two major signings.

The first would end up being Matheus Cunha, for whom they activated his £62.5 million release clause by paying an upfront fee before pledging to pay the rest in instalments over two years.

For the last month, United have been locked in negotiations to try and prise Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, having failed with their two opening offers, the most recent of which was £55m plus £7m in add-ons.

Who’s for sale at United this summer?

In regards to the players that could be offloaded to replenish the transfer kitty, all of Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford have been put up for sale, although none has been the subject of an incoming bid for INEOS to mull over.

Somewhat surprisingly, United are considering cutting ties with Rasmus Hojlund prematurely in the aftermath of a truly lacklustre campaign from the forward; he scored six fewer Premier League goals (four) than he managed in his maiden season (10), prompting concerns that he is simply not cut out for England’s top flight.

Unlike his counterpart Joshua Zirkzee, Hojlund also hasn’t really shown enough on the ball/in build-up play that’s really warranted such faith, hence INEOS contemplating a departure just two years after his £72m switch from Atalanta.
