Whilst Manchester United's summer clear-out has taken time to get going, reports are now indicating that they're finally set to sell one of their unwanted stars this month.
Latest Man Utd exit news
The Red Devils have enjoyed a solid summer on the incomings front, but the same can't be said for their business going the other way. As things stand, they are yet to outright sell a single player despite all their efforts and despite coming off the back of their worst-ever Premier League season. Several players have found themselves on Ruben Amorim's unwanted list, but INEOS have so far failed to shift all of those.
It's a list that includes Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho, who desperately need moves this month. Whilst reports have remained positive regarding a deal for Chelsea to sign Garnacho, showing Sancho the door has proved to be a far more complicated task than expected.
Amorim has had his own say on Manchester United's unwanted players, telling reporters: "I think again, I know that it is not a good thing to have players in this situation, but it’s clear they want to play in a different club, and that is clear.
"So we try to arrange everything for both parts to be happy, so I have to try to imagine to have the training with the guys that I think are going to be the future and the other guys are training and preparing for the next chapter."
With that said, although it remains to be seen whether Sancho lowers his demands to secure an AS Roma move, there is at least some positive news regarding another likely exit at Old Trafford.
Napoli now "advancing" Rasmus Hojlund deal
According to Fabrizio Romano, Napoli are now "advancing" talks to sign Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United this month after holding positive talks with the Danish forward. United have reportedly been informed about the talks and are ready to get a deal over the line if an agreement is reached between Hojlund and the Italian giants.
Despite reports suggesting that Hojlund wants to stay put at Manchester United, the arrival of Benjamin Sesko has ultimately cost him his place in Amorim's side and a sale has, therefore, always seemed likely.

After arriving under Erik ten Hag for an eye-watering £72m in 2023, Hojlund will undoubtedly go down as an Old Trafford flop, with just 26 goals in 96 games very much highlighting his struggles.
