Manchester United's squad is available for sale but the Red Devils will not be able to command the transfer fees they once paid out after a disastrous season at Old Trafford
Manchester United are open to offers for all of their players as they attempt to fix their financial woes - but they face the reality of the value of their stars having plummeted by more than £400million. United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, chief executive Omar Berrada and technical director Jason Wilcox are set to oversee the major squad overhaul in the coming months.
The club's Europa League final defeat has consigned United to missing out on £100m that comes with Champions League qualification and further cost-saving is to impact the side. Even star player and captain Bruno Fernandes is available for sale as the Red Devils attempt to plug a financial black hole.
“If the club thinks it's time to part ways because they want to do some cashing in or whatever, it is what it is. And football sometimes is like this," Fernandes said earlier this week.
“I have always been honest. I've always said I will be here until the club says to me that it's time to go. I'm eager to do more, to be able to bring the club to the great days. In the day that the club thinks that I'm too much or it's time to part ways, football is like this, you never know it. But I've always said it and I keep my word in the same way."
But the club's failing fortunes has also impacted the value of their playing staff, which cost £845million to put together, and United have developed a reputation for overpaying in the transfer market. Academy graduates Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho offer some respite in providing an avenue for profit in an otherwise damning assessment of United's squad management.
Totalling the figures of those who have lost value, United have lost the potential of earning £464m. They have however seen Altay Bayindir, Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui improve in value in addition to their academy players which would offset the total value.
Mirror Football takes a look at the current value of United players using figures from transfermarkt, and compares it with the fee paid to sign them...

Football is so unpredictable that you might be right or you might find them leading the premier League next year
Yeah you’re right But one thing I know is this MAN U … cannot top the table in 5 season to come …. Every football fan knows Amorim will not even have this job beyond next season 😂😂 It’s 2025 Dry bones 🦴 dont rise anymore

What a disaster! You just have to humble yourself in this life because you never know what is coming up tomorrow. A huge club like Manchester United going through all this? How did we even got to this point? This makes Barcelona's financial woes a child's play. Very sad for football. I pray something happens miraculously to reverse the unfortunate situation immediately.
Very soon same will happen to VARLONA bcos both club enrich themselves through refree favour and win Trophy's by bribing them,,,VARLONA is in debt presently and soon what happens to Man Utd is loading for them as well

Whatever man united decide to do … they should be prepared for relegation next season. That’s because all other 17 teams will be so improved beyond what man united newly recruited players can handle. I have a feeling we will wake up someday soon …. And Amorim will be declared wanted 😂😂😂 He will run away from this maadness of a club

I agree..change the system because amorim style of 3 defenders cannot work in premier league
Other teams in premier league are using that system. Some of us don't know football but we just make noise. The system can work in the Premier League

IS EITHER AMORIM ACCEPT TO IMPLEMENT THE FOUR DIFFENSIVE SYSTEM OR SACK. HIS THREE DIFFENSIVE SYSTEM WOULD NEVER WORK IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE
Crystal Palace just won the FA Cup using the same formation. Some teams in EPL are doing just fine using it but my challenge is that the Utd gaffer implementing only one formation playing all-team has been his downfall. Tweaking your team and formation gives your opponent a selection headache too rather than always making the job easier for them because they already know what you are coming up with, even down to the likely substitute you will make.

ManU management are a bunch of naive idiots. They will have difficulty in selling all their useless overrated players at their current market value. Establish top club will have no interest and mid or lower clubs will either cannot afford or not willing to take the risk. Even they manage to sell them, where will the club get new good players if these players will not risk their career coming to ManU. The management will end up buying overrated useless players at excessive high price and situation is back to square one. Best option is to change the playing system with a new coach.

Bruno Fernandes Is a great player, problem is, he joined a team that was in it's way down. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift six/seven players week in week out. I'm very sorry for him.

The coaches aren't good. They can't add value to players. If Dorgu was bought just last January and in May, his price has dropped, then the team is bad. Hire better a Manager to add value to the players.
