Revealed: Man Utd facing major transfer setback with unwanted stars crippling budget ahead of crucial window for Ruben Amorim

<p>Manchester United have already kicked off the summer window by <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-complete-matheus-cunha-transfer-five-year-contract-red-devils-dream-reality-brazil-international-forward/blt24864339ba42c040" target="_blank">sealing a £62.5 million ($85m) deal for Matheus Cunha</a> and remain hopeful of adding <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bryan-mbeumo-wants-man-utd-brentford-star-turn-down-arsenal-newcastle-spurs/blt7ec9843df1f254b6" target="_blank">Bryan Mbeumo</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-consider-shock-loan-sign-kane-bayern-munich-team-mate-ruben-amorim-beef-up-squad/blt750d39cc27eda981" target="_blank">Joao Palhinha</a> to their ranks. However, head coach Amorim’s recruitment drive is being throttled by financial constraints, and the club must sell before they can continue spending. The Red Devils’ plans are being stalled by their inability to offload high-earning players, as per <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-transfer-news-sancho-35430108" target="_blank">The Mirror</a>. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Jadon Sancho’s £250k-a-week wages are blocking a permanent move, with Juventus and Napoli only open to loan deals. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marcus-rashford-barcelona-dream-over-man-utd-outcast-sweating-transfer-nico-williams-pursuit-return-red-devils-pre-season/bltf52c308477553a92" target="_blank">Marcus Rashford’s preferred switch to Barcelona looks unlikely</a> as the Catalan side looks likely to pursue Nico Williams instead, leaving his future uncertain. Antony is attracting fresh interest following a strong loan spell at Real Betis. Still, while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/antony-join-dele-alli-como-rivalling-real-betis-transfer-man-utd-outcast/blt41656346af841002" target="_blank">Como</a> and Bayer Leverkusen have been linked, the Brazilian only wants to return to Los Verdiblancos, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/antony-betis-creative-proposal-desperate-bid-man-utd-brazil-winger-accepts-pay-cut-agree-long-term-contract/blt6ac16e7e67b59794" target="_blank">can’t afford a permanent transfer</a> this summer. United are said to be eager to cash in on the 25-year-old but may be forced into another loan.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Rasmus Hojlund, meanwhile, wants to stay and fight for his place under Amorim. Inter Milan’s loan-to-purchase proposal has collapsed, and the 22-year-old now looks set to remain, unless a sizeable offer lands on United’s desk, in which case the Red Devils will jump at the opportunity to sell. With no major outgoings yet, Amorim’s rebuild is being held back by a tight budget and too many unsettled stars.</p>

TELL ME MORE...

<p>United will continue working to engineer exits for Sancho, Antony, and possibly Rashford to free up budget space and reignite their transfer plans. Alejandro Garnacho’s name has also been floated, but reports suggest that Amorim would prefer to keep the Argentine. With Amorim keen to overhaul the squad, much of the club’s summer business hinges on unlocking sales, and the clock is already ticking.</p>
