Recent reports indicate Manchester United could be willing to sell midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, and that Chelsea would be in pole position to sign him in the event a transfer materialised.
United, having spent about £200m on new players last summer before also paying significant compensation to sack Erik ten Hag and hire Ruben Amorim, are in a tough financial position. As things stand, the club need to sell players before they buy any, in order to abide by PSR rules.
That could make the sale of 19-year-old Mainoo, who joined the club’s academy aged seven, very valuable to United and something their hierarchy considers more seriously.
Since falling out of favour with new boss Amorim, United forward Marcus Rashford has also been strongly linked with a transfer.
If Rashford is sold, his transfer fee would also represented ‘pure profit’ in the club’s accounts.
