On April 10 and 17, Manchester United and Olympique Lyonnais will cross the iron in the 1/4 UEFA Europa League. A very important competition for the two clubs, which have experienced difficulties in recent years at all levels. Besides, we can draw a parallel between John Textor and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, two leaders who do not hesitate to tighten the belt while trying to sell their players to replenish their boxes. On the Gones side, Rayan Cherki should be the big summer sale hoped for by the residents of Groupama Stadium. On the Mancunian side, there is a big cleaning. Recently, the Ineos boss had not hesitated to gun down the recruitment policy of recent years during an interview with the Bbc.
“If you look at the players we buy this summer, those we have not bought, we buy Antony, we buy Casemiro, we buy Onana, we buy Hojlund, we buy Sancho. These are all things from the past, whether we wanted it or not, we have inherited these things and we have to settle this.

Thus, they hope to get their hands on a sum between 23 and 30 M € thanks to the final sale of Jadon Sancho in Chelsea. Blues have a compulsory purchase option. If they ever decided not to pay it, the Londoners should pay a penalty of around € 6 million to MU.
In addition to Sancho, the Red Devils also intend to separate definitively from Marcus Rashford (on loan to Aston Villa) and Antony (on loan to Betis). They hope to surf their loans to raise money. Casemiro has not been welcome for several months. But the Brazilian finally stayed in the north of England. But Man U does not despair of getting rid of it and has already placed it on the list of unwanted. Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw and Altay Bayindir will not be retained either. Finally, the Men Specifies that the club has not yet decided for Joshua Zirkee and Rasmus Hojlund, who have not given satisfaction. Ruben Amorim and Mu, who therefore want a n ° 9, a new goalkeeper and a winger, are preparing for a very agitated summer. A habit for some time in Manchester …
