Manchester United's January transfer activity will be heavily reliant on player sales, as the club seeks to balance its finances and avoid Financial Fair Play penalties.
Manchester United are openly acknowledging that January will be a challenging month for them. The club is currently navigating a delicate situation as they strive to avoid Financial Fair Play (FFP) violations. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the club's owner, has implemented cost-cutting measures across various departments to alleviate United's financial pressures.
Consequently, despite United's disappointing performance in the Premier League, manager Ruben Amorim must approve player sales before receiving authorization to make new signings. However, there are three potential transfers in the pipeline that could potentially free up funds for the club. The first involves Marcus Rashford. Rumors have intensified regarding his future after reports emerged that he rejected offers worth up to £35 million per year to join a Saudi Arabian club. His agent is reportedly in Italy to discuss a possible move to a Serie A powerhouse, either AC Milan or Juventus. While it is likely to be a loan deal, it would effectively reduce his salary from the wage bill. Meanwhile, Casemiro has fallen out of favor with Amorim, and reports suggest he has lucrative offers to leave the Premier League. GiveMeSport claims the Brazilian has been offered a staggering £650,000 per week to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr, further removing a high earner from United's payroll. Additionally, Fabrizio Romano reports that Andreas Pereira could potentially return to Palmeiras from Fulham, enabling United to earn 20 percent of the transfer fee. If these three transfers materialize, United could suddenly gain financial flexibility. In such a scenario, the club is likely to prioritize signing a center-forward and a left-sided wing-back. A move for Viktor Gyokeres might have to wait until the summer, but they could explore acquiring a player like Randal Kolo Muani as a temporary solution for the remainder of the season
