Manchester United’s summer transfer plans rely on sales, and finally, there is movement on that front.
Ineos have already been busy in the transfer window, with a second arrival considered close.
Matheus Cunha is already confirmed as Ineos’ first summer signing, with Manchester United’s attack massively upgraded for the £62.5m he cost.
Set to follow Cunha’s transfer, United are closing in on Bryan Mbeumo with a second offer worth upwards of £60m, sure to test Brentford’s resolve.
Ruben Amorim will likely place these signings straight into the starting line-up, which leaves no room for some unwanted attackers who the club has transfer-listed this summer.
Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Marcus Rashford are all said to be on the transfer list, and as a statement of his intent, Amorim will leave the United quartet off the US tour squad next month.

Juventus make an approach to sign Jadon Sancho
Now, as Real Betis prepare a shared offer to sign Antony, there has also been movement on the Sancho front after multiple clubs have shown interest in the past week.
Napoli seems to have moved away from Sancho, but now Serie A giants Juventus are showing an interest in the United outcast.

This comes according to Gianluca Di Marzio, with the Italian reporter claiming that Juventus have advanced in their bid to sign Sancho this summer.
Contacts with United have been initiated directly over the past few hours, while Juventus are also talking with Sancho.
In addition, Italian reporter Marco Giordano from Radio CRC has claimed that Juventus have offered €25m (£21m) to United for Sancho, with the offer considered a ‘very important’ one.
Now, Juventus face the task of convincing Sancho to join and finding a way to pay his wages, with Napoli thought to be the move United’s winger is most interested in.
How much Jadon Sancho cost Manchester United per goal contribution
Back in 2021, when United spent £72m on Sancho, few would have envisioned the move going so wrong. The winger was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s dream signing and was supposed to help United to a league title.
Fast forward four years, and things have gone terribly wrong, with the £72m looking like a huge mistake.
However, it is not only the fee that United have splashed out on Sancho, with Capology claiming he has picked up around £36.9m in wages from United over the years, bringing the total outlay to roughly £108.9m.
So, with Sancho’s 18 goal contributions for United, how much has each one cost?
Sancho ended up costing United roughly £6m per goal contribution, which is a record Ineos will be keen to avoid with any future signings.
