Man Utd are now ready to sell £41m star as UCL giants consider move - report
Manchester United could cash-in on one of their key players in their defence, according to talkSPORT.
The Red Devils have had an underwhelming Premier League campaign thus far. They are currently 13th in the standings and eight points behind the Champions League places.
Manager Ruben Amorim will want financial backing to sign players, who would fit into his 3-4-3 system. The spending could coincide with multiple stars heading for the exit door.
With the Profitability and Sustainability limits, United may need to sell before they can make a huge outlay and it is claimed that the club could listen to offers for Lisandro Martinez.
Martinez has been a fan-favourite since his arrival in the summer of 2022, but United are open to sanctioning his sale amid interest from European champions Real Madrid.
Only Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo are deemed untouchable at the moment. The club are open to offers for literally every other player, as per talkSPORT.
Martinez’s departure would not be a surprise
The Argentine has been one of United’s better signings over the past couple of years.
He has been a mainstay in the starting line-up when fit and has delivered some stand-out performances.
However, his form has dipped with his regular injury concerns. The World Cup winner recently had a tough outing against Nottingham Forest in the league at Old Trafford.
Hence, we won’t be surprised if the board contemplate the sale of the £41 million-rated star. A package in the region of £70-80m could encourage them to part ways with him.
Aside from Martinez, Marcus Rashford is another candidate who could leave next year. His form has been inconsistent since his 30-goal season in 2022/23 and could be sold soon.
