Man Utd sold Facundo Pellistri this week but the most eye-catching element of the deal was the size of the sell-on clause included.
Facundo Pellistri might no longer be a Manchester United player, but club officials will hope the winger continues to shine as he begins his career away from Old Trafford.
Sell-on clauses have gradually become more common in the game and United are starting to latch on. Almost all of the deals they have done for the sale of academy players this summer have included sizeable clauses and one will be included when Maxi Oyedele finalises his move to Legia Warsaw. In Ten Hag's first summer in charge James Garner was the headline academy departure, moving to Everton when a 15% sell-on clause was included. United are tending to get higher percentages now and it is sometimes worth accepting a smaller fee to land the higher clause, protecting the club if the player suddenly thrives with exposure to regular football.
