Man Utd now have just TWO ‘untouchable’ players with transfer offers for all other stars considered including Mainoo
MANCHESTER UNITED have just two untouchable players, according to reports.
The Red Devils are eager to bolster their squad while complying with profit and sustainability rules.
This has led to shock reports that academy starlets Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho could be sold – with homegrown players worth 100 per cent profit.
The pair have been valued at around £70million each, with Chelsea reportedly keen on Mainoo.
In addition to Mainoo and Garnacho, £72m striker Rasmus Hojlund could also be flogged.
According to the Mail, Leny Yoro and Amad Diallo are the only two players that club bosses view as “untouchable”.
Yoro, 19, signed for the Red Devils from Lille in a £52m deal last summer.
The Frenchman missed the start of the season with an ankle injury sustained in pre-season, but has featured in United’s last seven Premier League games.
Diallo, meanwhile, has been a rare bright spark in United’s disappointing season.
The Ivorian has scored three goals and laid on six assists in 18 Premier League appearances this term.

Last month he bagged the winner in United’s 2-1 win at Manchester City, while he netted another in the 2-2 draw at Anfield last time out.

The forward admitted last month that he is ready for a “new challenge” – while he has not featured in United’s last five games.
His representatives have reportedly held talks with AC Milan over a potential loan deal.
While Borussia Dortmund have also shown interest, having taken Jadon Sancho on loan from United 12 months ago.
It is claimed that there are also Premier League sides monitoring Rashford’s situation.
