Telegraph: Manchester United may have to pay millions of pounds to clean up unpopular players

June 29 According to the Daily Telegraph, in order to get players who are no longer popular, Manchester United may face millions of pounds of compensation this summer, including Rashford, Garnacho and Sancho. Before the start of the new season, Manchester United has the need to clean up players, and clubs that want to introduce these players will want to take advantage of this situation.

Garacho is the latest Manchester United player to clearly express his wishes. He appeared in the public eye this week wearing Rashford's jersey, who was neglected by Amorin last season and was loaned to Villa. Garnacho, Rashford and Brazilian winger Anthony all signed contracts in 2028, and the Red Devils are expected to subsidize their wages even if they leave Manchester United and play for their opponents. Sancho has been loaned out for the past two seasons and is now allowed to leave the team.

It is understood that Chelsea and Manchester United have discussed converting Sancho's loan last season into a permanent transfer, but in the end, it failed to reach an agreement because Manchester United is unwilling to bear a sufficient proportion of their salary. Manchester United signed Sancho from Dortmund for 73 million pounds in 2021, with his weekly salary of more than 200,000 pounds. Manchester United will try to negotiate a "wage recovery" through players' loan deals, but the middleman believes that their bargaining power in negotiations has weakened as Manchester United clearly wants players to leave the team.

Rashford was not included in the match list by Amorin before being loaned to Villa, which allowed him to regain the call for the England national team. Last week, he made it clear in an interview with Spanish media that he hoped to join Barcelona. Although Tottenham and other teams are also looking for wingers, it seems that Barcelona is Rashford's first choice. Garnacho's behavior in wearing a Rashford jersey happened after Amorin told him he could find a new club at the end of the season, while Anthony was loaned to Betis for the 2024/25 season.

Betis showed further interest in Anthony. Interestingly, Spanish sources said Manchester United are discussing with Betis the issue of having some Anthony's registration rights, which is actually an additional clause if the £82 million signing player is for sale in the future.

It is not clear whether these neglected players will go to the United States for preseason with the team. In 2019, Lukaku appears to be leaving Manchester United, but he still competes in the preseason with Solskjaer's side. Hoylen's future has also become uncertain due to Inter's interest, and the Danish striker's contract has also been signed to 2028, and like Anthony, he can choose to renew his contract for another year. Sancho has a one-year contract with Manchester United, but the club can trigger a one-year renewal option to prevent him from leaving the team for free next summer. In the deal Anthony loaned to Betis, La Liga clubs paid 84% of his salary, while Villa paid 75% of Rashford's salary, which could rise to 90% based on performance.
