Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to save money. For this, he intends in particular to separate from a dozen players during the next summer transfer window. Eleven to be more precise. This week, the Manchester Evening News said Jonny Evans, Tom Heaton, Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelöf, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Antony, Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw and Altay Bayindir will not be retained. The club hopes to sell those who are still under contract or the unwanted elements who left on loan. In addition, the leaders have not yet decided concerning Joshua Zirkee and Rasmus Hojlund.

There is therefore a risk of being movement in the direction of departures, as in that of arrivals. The British media has revealed that Old Trafford residents wish to get their hands on a world -class number 9. The name that comes up most often is that of Alexander Isak from Newcastle. Hugo Ekitike or Viktor Gyökeres are also mentioned here and there. Man U also wants to attach the services of a new goalkeeper. Finally, Ruben Amorim told his bosses that he wishes to welcome a winger next summer.

Mu will have to blow up the bank

Regarding this position, he also has a very precise idea of ​​the player he wishes to have under his orders. According to information published this Friday by The Sunthe Portuguese technician pushes to his management to recover a certain Francisco Trincão (25 years old). A player he knows at his fingertips since he directed him to Sporting CP. A club with which the former FC Barcelona participated in 43 games in all competitions this season. Time for him to score 9 goals and deliver 15 assists. All this did not escape Amorim, who absolutely wants to have him by his side in Manchester.

But you will have to put the price. The Sun explains that Sporting CP hopes to recover much more than the amount of its 60 M € clause. Indeed, the Portuguese team wants to inflate the note since FC Barcelona, ​​which has a buyout option for the player, will recover 50 % of the amount of the next transfer from Trinchão. The English media indicates that the Lisbon club is determined to pocket at least € 42.5 million thanks to its sale. This means that Lusitanian leaders are rather counting on a sale at € 85 million. It remains to be seen what MU, who will prefer to raise his clause, intend to do as well as the player under contract until 2026.
