There’s speculation about introducing a new head coach to succeed Erik ten Hag after a less-than-stellar season, although reports suggest he might remain for at least another year.
Regardless of who takes the helm, they will face financial constraints in recruiting new talent, according to The Telegraph.
The new co-owners, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS group, aim to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) by halting the extravagant expenditures of the previous summer, which amounted to approximately £175 million ($222 million).
Their preference is to promote talent from the youth academy rather than signing high-profile, expensive players.
To generate additional revenue, United could sell Mason Greenwood, who has garnered European interest following his successful loan stint at Getafe. Jadon Sancho, currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund, is another potential sale.
The club is open to offers for most of the first-team squad, with the exception of young talents like Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlund.
A decision on the managerial role is imminent. Ten Hag is advocating for a prompt conclusion to the discussions, amidst rumors of his departure despite the team’s recent FA Cup victory.
