Manchester United Open to Offers for trio as Mainoo could face shock exit

Manchester United are prepared to listen to serious offers for Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Højlund, despite previously considering the trio untouchable. This decision marks a shift in policy under new management, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe acknowledging the club’s struggles in selling players effectively.

United are not actively looking to offload these players, as all three remain key to Ruben Amorim’s squad.

However, given financial constraints imposed by profitability and sustainability rules, credible bids for any player, including summer signings like Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Manuel Ugarte, will be considered.

Manchester United fans may prepare for a shock exit among the trio, as their favorite Mainoo can soon be on the market during the January transfer window.

Financial Pressures Drive Flexibility: Mainoo is no longer untouchable at Manchester United

The club’s lack of funds has pressured its ability to buy and retain players. Homegrown talents like Mainoo and Garnacho represent significant financial value, as their sales would count as pure profit under financial regulations. Amorim is also reshaping the squad to fit his preferred 3-4-3 system, meaning the transition may require strategic sales to fund new signings.

Interest in Mainoo Growing

Mainoo, who scored the decisive goal in United’s 2023 FA Cup final win and starred for England at Euro 2024, is attracting attention from Chelsea. While the London club prioritizes defensive reinforcements, including a potential return for Marc Guéhi, Mainoo’s camp could use this interest to negotiate an improved contract at United. Mainoo’s current deal, signed in February 2023, earns him £20,000 weekly.

Garnacho and Højlund Remain Valued at Manchester United

Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Højlund are still integral to Amorim’s plans, but the club’s openness to offers underscores the financial realities at play. Both players are expected to attract interest, given their potential and performances at Old Trafford.

Casemiro Also Monitored

Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly monitoring veteran midfielder Casemiro. However, no formal offers have been made for the Brazilian, who remains under contract until 2026.

United’s strategy highlights the delicate balance between maintaining a competitive squad and navigating financial constraints as Amorim seeks to reshape the team for long-term success.
