Manchester United have splashed over £150million in three new signings this summer but Erik ten Hag needs to offload to create funds and room for more incomings
Erik ten Hag is ready to green light the departures of four Manchester United players in an attempt to raise funds for new arrivals.
The Red Devils have signed Mason Mount, Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund for a combined figure of over £150million so far this summer, and although Ten Hag said last weekend he was happy with his squad, he could be tempted to dip back into the transfer market. But the Dutchman would have to sell first, with several players staring at the Old Trafford exit door after falling down the pecking order.
Fred is the latest to be heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford after Fulham revived talks to sign the Brazilian for £20m, as per the Daily Mail. The 30-year-old made just 11 Premier League starts last season and Mount’s arrival, alongside Christian Eriksen’s return to full fitness, should only decrease Fred’s game time.
Fulham are keen to add another midfielder to their squad following an unfortunate shoulder injury to Joao Palhinha while in the United States. The Cottagers have a long-standing interest in the ex-Shakhtar Donetsk man but are set to ramp up their pursuit heading into the final three weeks of the window.
