Man Utd will listen to serious transfer offers for EVERY player including trio made untouchable barely a year ago
MANCHESTER UNITED will reportedly listen to serious transfer offers for their ENTIRE squad – including a trio who were untouchable under former boss Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils have struggled to make progress since Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s minority takeover a year ago.
United endured a dismal start to the current term under Ten Hag, despite the Dutchman being backed with £200million-worth of summer signings.
And replacement Ruben Amorim is also struggling to get a tune out of the club’s players.
Many do not fit his high-intensity 3-4-3 system.
And the Guardian claims Ratcliffe is ready to back the Portuguese gaffer by making every single senior star available for sale.
While United are not actively looking to offload players, offers for each one will now be considered.
It means the likes of Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes could be sold for the right price.
While summer signings including Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Manuel Ugarte may be shown the door after just six months.
It’s even suggested that Ten Hag’s untouchable trio Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo can go should suitable bids arrive.
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
The latter is understood to be a major target for United’s rivals Chelsea, who are already set to sign loanee Jadon Sancho for a cut-price £20million this summer.
United have been hit hard by Financial Fair Play restrictions after years of heavy spending.
Offloading several big earns will go some way to balancing the books while allowing Amorim to bring in players better suited to his tactics.
Sales of academy graduates like Mainoo, Garnacho and Marcus Rashford would also be counted as 100 per cent profit – crucial for Profit and Sustainability Rules compliance.
Rashford is seen as one of the most likely exits this month, although it could only be on loan until the summer.
AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund have both expressed serious interest in signing the wantaway forward.
Fellow striker Joshua Zirkzee is a target for Juventus, while midfielder Casemiro continues to be monitored by teams in Saudi Arabia.
Man Utd player ratings vs Liverpool
Andre Onana – 7
Saved well from Alexis Mac Allister early on and looked strong on set-pieces – could do nothing about either goal and almost stopped Mo Salah’s penalty.
Another two saves right at the death helped his men earn a point.
Noussair Mazraoui – 7
Strong performance to help frustrate Liverpool and produced important interceptions and tackles to clear danger.
Matthijs de Ligt – 7
The Dutchman was another impressive member of the back three and seemed on a mission not to leave Anfield without a share of the spoils.
Harry Maguire – 7
Marshalled the defence well and won several big tackles and clearances.
Had his day spoiled by a yellow card for what looked to a be another great challenge and then blazed over right at the death.
Lisandro Martinez – 7
Excellent alongside the rest of the back three and finished his strike like a seasoned striker.
Diogo Dalot – 7
Played on the front foot and was an attacking threat throughout but landed himself a booking for a needless and blatant foul on Mo Salah.
Kobbie Mainoo – 7
Great defensive and compact display as he got the better of his England rival Curtis Jones in front of Thomas Tuchel.
Was only taken off after United fell behind as his manager went more offensive.
Manuel Ugarte – 6
Just got caught out of position and was punished for Cody Gakpo’s goal, which marred an otherwise hard-fought and disciplined display.
Amad Diallo – 7
Turning into a man capable of producing big moments after another crucial strike. Had messed up twice in two earlier attacks but took his goal superbly.
Bruno Fernandes – 8
The skipper was on top form for the Red Devils both defensively and with the ball.
Led his team well and fully deserved at least a point.
Rasmus Hojlund – 5
Came underfire for slack marking from Fernandes early doors then blew a big chance after beating the offside trap – a chance you NEED to take at Anfield.
Struggled to make much of an impact with the ball.
