Manchester United are preparing for a crucial transfer window as the club looks to reshape its squad under Ruben Amorim.
With Ineos now at the helm, financial sustainability has become a priority, and the days of reckless spending appear to be over.
The club’s difficulties with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) have made it clear that major outgoings will be necessary before new signings arrive.
United’s financial struggles were highlighted by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who revealed that the club was on the brink of financial ruin before Ineos intervened.
Their cost-cutting measures have already had an impact, but with £89 million spent on transfers through owed instalments this summer, the budget for new additions remains tight.
Amorim has been vocal about the need for a squad overhaul, and that process begins with outgoings in the transfer window.
Ineos successfully raised £82 million in sales last summer, and now, reports from iNews suggest they are targeting a record-breaking £100 million in player departures this year.

This would mark a historic milestone for United, who have traditionally struggled to generate significant revenue from sales compared to their Premier League rivals.
The club is expected to part ways with multiple players, with Marcus Rashford and Antony being the two most high-profile potential exits.
Rashford’s loan move to Aston Villa included a £40 million buy option, and given his resurgence in form, the Birmingham club is expected to activate it.
Meanwhile, Antony has flourished at Real Betis, with Atletico Madrid also expressing interest, making a £40 million sale highly likely.
Jadon Sancho is another name on the departure list, with Chelsea set to finalize a £25 million deal for the winger.
Additionally, Kobbie Mainoo’s future remains uncertain, with United reportedly willing to listen to offers if his contract negotiations fail to progress.
The highly-rated midfielder is valued at around £70 million, making him one of the club’s most valuable assets.
Elsewhere, potential sales could involve Casemiro and Andre Onana, with Saudi Arabian clubs keeping an eye on both players.
While Casemiro has expressed a desire to stay, Ineos may push for his departure as they continue their aggressive squad restructuring.
With a record-breaking summer on the horizon, United’s transfer strategy is set to be defined by their ability to offload talent and reinvest wisely.
