According to British media, Manchester United are willing to sell England midfielder Mason · Mount this summer. Sir Jim · Ratcliffe wants to continue to make his mark in the transfer window after signing two highly-rated youngsters.
Of the two new signings, Lenny · Yoro and Joshua · Zirkze, the 23-year-old Netherlands striker was able to drop back to play in the number 10 position. They have spent more than €100 million on Manchester United, so further signings, both now and in the future, will depend on the sale of existing players, including Mason Mount.
Ten Hag has made it clear that after bringing in two new signings, United must now sell players to help the team make further signings.
"It's obvious that the club needs to sell players to raise money." "But we want a strong squad, as strong as possible. I think the football management is very proactive at the moment and that's what a club like Manchester United should do. We are delighted that the club has reached a deal and we have signed Joro and Zirkze, two assets with great potential for the future. But when I say the future, the future also starts today. The next game is always the most important, the next season is always the most important. We need good players. But you also need quantity because this season is going to be tougher than last season, so we have to be ready for that."
Manchester United only brought Mason Mount from Chelsea to Old Trafford last summer, however, fitness and form issues prevented him from being a regular last season and he could face the same dilemma this season. The club believe that the purge of Mount and Antony would not only help raise much-needed funds, but also reduce wage costs, with both earning £200,000 a week.
There is currently no price set by United for Mount, but with the Red Devils spending £60 million to sign him, of which £55million is a fixed amount, it is only natural that Rajae will want to recoup as much of the 25-year-old midfielder's transfer fee as possible. Of course, it is one thing for Manchester United to want to sell, and it is another thing whether they have a home or not, and it is also a question whether the players are willing to leave. The 24-year-old Anthony has already said through his agent that he has not thought about leaving.
In addition, France The Athletic newspaper claims that Paris Saint-Germain are interested in Manchester United's Jadon Sancho and also maintain a strong interest in Bruno · Fernandes. Of course, it's purely of interest at the moment, and there hasn't been any contact with Sancho yet.
If the likes of Jadon Sancho can be sold, United will have the ability to further change the structure of their front line. For example, Xavi ·Simons, who was loaned to RB Leipzig last season, and 26-year-old Leipzig midfielders Danny · Olmo are also potential targets, and Barcelona are said to have made a move. Manchester United could also join the race for Olmo, whose release fee was once €60 million but has expired. Olmo scored three goals at Euro 2024 to help Spain win the title over England.
Manchester United are also looking to bring in another centre-back, with Bayern Munich's De Ligt remaining a target for Ten Hag, with a move contingent on the departure of existing centre-backs Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof. De Ligt and Ten Hag have worked together at Ajax and are familiar with each other, while the player himself is believed to be keen to reunite with his mentor in the Premier League.
Bayern president Hoeness has spoken publicly about De Ligt's possible move: "The defender could leave, De Ligt is a Netherlands man, Manchester United's manager is Netherlands...... But if he stays, I won't have any problems. Personally, I wouldn't sell Pamecano."
