What\u2019s more, a new left winger will be sought too, as will a striker to compete with Benjamin Sesko if Joshua Zirkzee moves on.<\/p>\n<p>As such, Man Utd will hope to secure Champions League qualification not only to ensure they\u2019re playing in Europe\u2019s top competition, but to bank the extra funding participation in that tournament provides.<\/p>\n<p>Another route to stuffing the coffers ahead of a mammoth spend is player sales, and per transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano, two money-spinning exits are practically done deals.<\/p>\n<p>Romano confirmed that barring any unforeseen late hitches, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/rasmus-hojlund\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rasmus Hojlund<\/a> will be sold to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/napoli\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Napoli<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/marcus-rashford\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Marcus Rashford<\/a> will join<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/tag\/barcelona\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Barcelona<\/a> outright.<\/p>\n<p>Both players are currently on loan at those respective clubs, and Man Utd fully believe their permanent exits will be finalised.<\/p>\n<p>Romano explained on his <a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5aQVqryNDwU\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube channel<\/a>: \u201cBasically Man Utd count on \u20ac80m income from these two players. For Hojlund, Napoli already paid a \u20ac6m loan fee, and they\u2019re fully expected to pay \u20ac44m in their option to buy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNapoli are very happy with Hojlund and he\u2019s very happy with Napoli. The expectation is for Hojlund and Napoli to continue together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Rashford, he added: \u201cAnd then \u20ac30m for Marcus Rashford, because in the end, Man Utd believe Barcelona will be able to make the deal permanent for Rashford.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re still talking club-to-club and it\u2019ll take some time financially for Barcelona to progress in an official and concrete way, but with the agents of Rashford there is already an agreement [on personal terms].\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>DON\u2019T MISS:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/news\/man-utd-moving-sublime-fulham-signing-mirrors-masterful-liverpool-deal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Man Utd moving for sublime Fulham signing that mirrors masterful Liverpool deal<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Rashford sale will be extra lucrative for Man Utd given his status as a homegrown players.
