5 players to leave Manchester United this summer
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not worried about the financial impact the coronavirus will have on world football. The Norwegian strategist, on the other hand, announced that Manchester United as one of the richest clubs will try to take advantage of the crisis to bring top reinforcements at reduced prices, but Solskjaеr also plans a transfer list of players he plans to sell in the summer transfer window.
The Mirror reports that there are currently five players on the list, but the possibility that it will increase in the coming period is not ruled out.
At the top is Alexis Sanchez, the highest paid footballer in the club’s history, and one of the most failed reinforcements of the “Red Devils” of all time. United covered half of the Chilean’s salary on loan at Inter, but Sanchez was overshadowed by Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez, so the Nerazzurri have no intention of buying him outright. Alexis’ high salary is the reason why no one wants to buy this great striker, so a new loan will probably follow, in which Manchester will cover part of the salary.
Chris Smalling is also on loan, but the England international has been in excellent form at Roma, so United will have no problem selling him. A sum of at least 15 million pounds is mentioned, Roma wants to keep him completely by buying his contract, and offers are also announced by Arsenal and West Ham.
Arsenal are also interested in Jesse Lingard, an English international. There are no doubts about Solskjaer that Lingard will be sold, and in addition to the Gunners’ offers, several other English Premier Leagues have announced.
Phil Jones and Andreas Pereira are the last two players to be sacked by the Norwegian strategist, getting the green light to look for a new club and free up space in the team for new reinforcements.
