Manchester United are looking to raise funds by selling players, but sell-on clauses could provide a timely boost.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim<\/a> is sparking real change at Manchester United<\/a>, and some big-name players could be on the move.<\/p>\n

Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony are all available on permanent deals after loan spells away from Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Alejandro Garnacho has been told to leave United<\/a>, and others in Amorim\u2019s squad surely don\u2019t feel secure right now.<\/p>\n

United have already signed Matheus Cunha<\/a>, but may need to bring in more money to secure other signings.<\/p>\n

Player sales will be the focus, but United are also waiting on a couple of potential sell-on clause windfalls.<\/p>\n

Newcastle have made a move for Anthony Elanga<\/a>, but Nottingham Forest have rejected their \u00a345million move.<\/p>\n

Forest are holding out for \u00a360million, with United waiting to potentially cash in on a sell-on clause placed in the Swede\u2019s deal.<\/p>\n

Elanga isn\u2019t the only former United talent who could be on the move, with Alvaro Carreras Fernandez potentially nearing a big move.<\/p>\n

United sold Fernandez to Benfica last summer, and the Spaniard has developed rapidly in Portugal.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid are reportedly closing in on Fernandez<\/a>, with reports suggesting a \u20ac45million (\u00a338.5million) deal is close.<\/p>\n

United will be looking for that deal to go through and bring some cash into the Old Trafford coffers, but Benfica are claiming that the deal isn\u2019t close at all.<\/p>\n

Benfica president Rui Costa has told Marca<\/a> that there is no offer on the table from Real Madrid as things stand.<\/p>\n

Rui Costa may be keeping his cards close to his chest, with both Real and Benfica in Club World Cup action.<\/p>\n

The former AC Milan star noted that Fernandez is busy playing for Benfica rather than thinking about transfers, but told Real to make an offer if they want him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should make us an offer. None have come so far. If they do, we\u2019ll see what happens,\u201d said Rui Costa.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow is not the time, and it won\u2019t be until the tournament and our participation are over. Until then, there\u2019s no need to talk about anything. Carreras is here with us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Manchester United\u2019s Alvaro Fernandez sell-on clause<\/strong><\/p>\n

United may feel a little frustrated to see Fernandez potentially moving for big money, just a year since he left Old Trafford on the cheap.<\/p>\n

A sell-on clause cushions the blow, but reports suggest United won\u2019t be receiving as much as first thought.<\/p>\n

United were allegedly due to receive 40% of Fernandez\u2019s next move<\/a>, which would have most probably been based on profit rather than the full price.<\/p>\n

That still would have been around \u00a313million coming into United\u2019s bank account, but recent reports claim United will only receive 20% of Fernandez\u2019s fee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That would be around \u00a37million if based on profit, which is frustrating but still very valuable as United plot serious transfer business this summer.<\/p>\n

United will hope to see Fernandez\u2019s move go through sooner rather than later, with the ball firmly in Real\u2019s court.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United are looking to raise funds by selling players, but sell-on clauses could provide a timely boost.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214577,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[65339,748,393,4884,2465,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-214576","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-alvaro-fernandez","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-manchester","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114747007628152294","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214576\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
