Manchester United is entering a new era under Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS, with a willingness to entertain offers for most players while keeping an open mind, according to The Daily Telegraph. Agents and rival clubs anticipate that offers for players will be assessed individually. The club appears open to negotiations for most players except for Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Kobbie Mainoo. Although there’s no active intention to offload players like Rashford, the club would seriously consider credible offers, particularly if the player expresses interest in seeking new opportunities elsewhere.

The summer transfer window sees Manchester United aiming to bolster their squad with a striker, central midfielder, and right-sided centre-back. However, financial constraints due to missing out on Champions League qualification could impact their spending. Failure to secure European football, especially finishing below seventh in the Premier League, may compel the club to adopt a “sell to buy” approach in the transfer market, in accordance with the Premier League’s Profit & Sustainability regulations.

Furthermore, the absence of Champions League football in the upcoming season will trigger a 25% pay reduction for United players, as stipulated in their contracts, which could help mitigate the revenue loss.

Erik ten Hag and his team face an uphill battle to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League, currently sitting in sixth place with Newcastle and West Ham close behind. A top-six finish or winning the FA Cup would ensure Europa League qualification, while seventh place could mean participation in the Europa Conference League. However, finishing eighth or lower, though unlikely, could result in missing out on European competitions altogether. United’s remaining Premier League fixtures against Crystal Palace, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Brighton will determine their final standing in the league.
