For all the talk United have no assets to sell, they have two of the top five most valuable former academy players on their books, which is very handy in terms of potential “net profit” sales.
United walk a tightrope with PSR and it works really well. Just like Chelsea sold Ian Maatson, Connor Gallagher, Lewis Hall and Omari Hutchinson last summer. Moreover, judging from their status Premier League standingsthis is not a bad path.
According to TransferMarket, these are the five most valuable youth products in the Premier League; Manchester United has two teams on the list, while Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are also involved. Although Curtis Jones might want to say something…
1) Phil Jones (Manchester City)
TM Value: £124m
He’s had a terrible season, frankly, but he’s the reigning PFA Player of the Year, only 24 and has a lengthy contract with Manchester City. “He is the only player who cannot be sold under any circumstances, the only one. Not even 500 million euros is enough,” Guardiola said. But that was five years ago and now City would be lucky to get €100 million.
In fact, it’s hard to imagine Foden playing at any other club, in any other colours. He has not played under another club manager, but Guardiola and his attempts with England under Gareth Southgate and Lee Carsley suggest he could be a one-manager. And this season, even the one-coach charade has disappointed him. He has scored 19 goals in the Premier League but has scored zero goals.
Will Manchester City sell? Do they know how to play ball?
2) Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
TM Value: £115m
this Third favorite for this season’s PFA AwardTM’s market cap update will definitely see him surpass those above him on this list. In fact, Arsenal have made it clear they will only sell for a life-changing £150m-£200m, with reports claiming they believe only Erling Haaland is worth more in the Premier League. This time, it wasn’t a rant.
Ten years ago you could have imagined Arsenal being forced to sell their star players to Manchester City or Real Madrid, but we wouldn’t be surprised if Saka started and ended his career in north London.
Will Arsenal sell? Do they know how to play ball?
3) Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
TM Value: £58m
Much has been said elsewhere – But especially on these pages – On Real Madrid’s temptation for Alexander-Arnold, who may not get another chance to join a real super club and potentially become a Ballon d’Or winner.
this The latest news is that Manchester City are also interestedThis will be a harder pill to swallow for Liverpool fans, who may just accept that Real Madrid is quite attractive.
If Alexander-Arnold does leave, he will be on a free transfer at the end of the season, although we will be delighted to see Liverpool’s reaction to a £50m offer in January for a net-profit player who is just a few days away from leaving. month’s time. May leave everything behind.
Will Liverpool sell? They want it to be their decision…
4) Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)
TM value: £50 million
The idea is Rashford’s only two options Saudi Arabia or Paris Saint-Germain are laughable; many coaches in the Premier League and Europe believe that Rashford’s biggest problem is not the player himself, but Manchester United. we have long suspected Guardiola definitely wants to unleash his talent Union College graduate.
Rashford has scored three goals in five games under new United manager Ruben Amorim, who is said to be disillusioned with the prospect of having no transfer funds unless he sells him. The player most worth selling is the “pure profit” forward, who scored 30 goals two seasons ago.
Will Manchester United sell? Damn, they will.
5) Kobe Minor (Manchester United)
TM Value: £45m
It is said that he is On a very short list of Manchester United players who are not for sale As has Alejandro Ganaccio and Amad Diallo, although there are schools of thought that Mainu doesn’t have the discipline to work in a two-man midfield hub.
But the club are absolutely aware that selling Mainu would be disastrous for the club’s PR, although there is little indication that he is a key part of Amorim’s long-term plans. Now, the guys above him on this list are the guys who are going to be sold. Until then, Mainoo has proven itself to be either a) very, very profitable, or b) really not worthy of being unsaleable.
