Manchester United's ability to generate 'pure profit' is a vital transfer tool in the summer transfer window amid profitability and sustainability rules.
Manchester United are keen observers of the mad Premier League scramble. The June 30 'mini transfer deadline' is fast approaching as clubs attempt to balance the books to ensure they do not fall foul of the division's spending rules.
One more 'loophole' of sorts is the 'pure profit' stance, which sees teams sell their academy products and graduates to generate revenue. For United, it would involve selling someone like Mason Greenwood or Marcus Rashford, who were not signed for a transfer fee and can be registered as an entire profit upon their departure.
Manchester City have also been brilliant at this in recent years. They received almost £47m from Chelsea for Cole Palmer and got more than £40m combined James Trafford, Tommy Doyle and Taylor Harwood-Bellis. “In the case of Chelsea, they have done fantastically well. Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Tammy Abraham, Billy Gilmour… all of these players have generated huge sums in transfer fees.”
United will also have a number of players coming through their ranks that they will be able to potentially sell on. Omari Forson has gone but United are entitled to a "sizeable" training fee. That will also be the case when Shola Shoretire joins a new club.
