Manchester United’s summer rebuild under Ruben Amorim could be funded in part by shrewd past decisions in the transfer market.
With Financial Fair Play regulations looming large, the club are exploring multiple revenue streams to support incoming signings.
While player sales from the current squad will be essential, United could also benefit from clauses built into past deals.

One of those smart moves may soon pay off handsomely, as a former Red is being chased by top European clubs once again.
The club are particularly hopeful that interest intensifying around this player could trigger a valuable sell-on bonus.
Andreas Pereira, who left United permanently in 2022, is now back in the spotlight with both Nottingham Forest and Olympique de Marseille vying for his signature this summer, according to TNT Sports Brasil.
Andreas Pereira joined Fulham for £10million with a further £3million in add-ons, and United cleverly inserted a 20% sell-on clause into the deal.
The Brazilian has flourished at Craven Cottage, becoming a key figure under Marco Silva and contributing consistently across the campaign.
This isn’t the first time Forest and Marseille have made moves for Pereira.
Last summer, Fulham reportedly rejected five separate bids—three from Marseille and two from Forest—as they held firm with a €35million valuation.

Marseille’s pursuit is reportedly being pushed by new manager Roberto De Zerbi, who is believed to have personally contacted Pereira in hopes of luring him to Ligue 1.
One major factor that could sway the midfielder is the chance to play in the UEFA Champions League.
While Fulham sit mid-table and out of European contention, Marseille are currently second in Ligue 1 and on course for UCL qualification.
Forest, currently seventh in the Premier League, remain in the hunt for European football and are eager to bring Pereira in as part of their summer upgrades.
The Brazilian has one year left on his Fulham contract, with an automatic one-year extension clause based on appearances.
United, meanwhile, stand to gain significantly if a transfer materialises—proof that even once a player leaves Old Trafford, their story can still benefit the club.
