Man Utd are set to benefit financially from three rival transfers in the summer window.
Manchester United are set to receive roughly £15 million from three rival transfers in the summer window.
Ruben Amorim's side returned for pre-season training at the start of the week and have completed three senior additions to their squad so far. Matheus Cunha completed his £62.5 million move from Wolves last month, while teenage duo Diego Leon and Enzo Kana-Biyik have both been unveiled this month.
Kana-Biyik has joined youngster Sonny Aljofree in securing a loan exit for the forthcoming season, but there have not been any permanent departures from the club yet. That won't stop United from making money, though, with the club set to receive a sizeable financial boost from three proposed transfers this summer. It comes at a key time for Amorim as United prepare a third, and possible final, bid for Brentford ace Bryan Mbeumo.

Manchester United set for £15m boost
Manchester United stand to make roughly £15 million in sell-on fees from prospective sales this summer with three former players likely to be on the move.
It is understood they will make roughly £5.5m from Newcastle United’s deal to sign Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest, with United due 15 percent profit from the transfer. Newcastle will pay Forest an initial fee of £52m, with United set to take 15 percent of the £37m fee when you subtract the £15m they spent on him two years ago.
It is a similar situation with the proposed sale of Alvaro Fernandez Carreras from Benfica to Real Madrid. United will take 20 percent of the profit from the £43.3m proposed transfer fee. Benfica paid £5.2m to sign the young left-back a year ago, so when you subtract the initial cost, it will be roughly £7.62m from £38.1m.
United will also profit from the proposed sale of Maxi Oyedele, who is expected to leave Polish side Legia Warsaw after only a year. The young midfielder was sold for just £500,000 last summer, but the club also inserted an initial 50 per cent sell-on clause into the deal. It is not clear whether that figure has now dropped to the 40 percent mark instead. Even at the lower estimate, it means United will take roughly £1.9 million if he is sold for his €6million (£5.2million) release clause as is currently expected.
