Manchester United are facing a fresh £23 million problem in the summer transfer window. The club is eager to sell Marcus Rashford and Andre Onana, but finding buyers has proven difficult.
Rashford's Uncertain Future
Marcus Rashford, who earns £16.9 million annually, was loaned to Aston Villa and Barcelona after disagreements with former head coach Ruben Amorim. Barcelona had a £26 million option to buy, but the deadline passed without activation. United are now unwilling to consider another loan, insisting on a permanent sale. This hardline stance could backfire, leaving United stuck with his hefty salary.
Onana's Situation
Andre Onana, on a £6.24 million yearly wage, is also considered surplus. He joined Trabzonspor on loan last summer, and the Turkish club has expressed confidence in securing a permanent deal. However, until confirmation arrives, United risk retaining him as an expensive backup.
Financial Impact
If both players remain, United would be committed to £23.14 million in wages over the next year. This hinders Ineos' strategy to lower the wage bill and free up funds for new signings. The club must resolve these issues to avoid sleepless nights for its co-owners.
