Premier League clubs are using the sales of academy players to boost their financial fair play position but Man Utd are still aiming to develop players for the first team.
Manchester United's academy focus will remain on developing players to make it to the first-team squad, rather than using the youth system to balance the books and avoid falling foul of the Premier League's financial rules.
Recently, Aston Villa have done deals with Everton and Chelsea that have seen academy players moved between clubs and those transfers could see all three get away with a breach of PSR this season, with the financial year ending on Sunday . Cox pointed out that selling academy players had always been part of the model at United, but insisted the focus would never move away from the aim of bringing players through to play for the club.
"Yes, what you have discussed puts an emphasis on player development. But this club is about so much more than a business plan. We have a duty to ensure young players play in our first team.
