MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly ready to slash the asking price for their bomb squad misfits with Alejandro Garnacho available at just £40million.
The are ready to part ways with the Argentina winger and four other flops on the cheap as they look to back Ruben Amorim in the transfer market.
United’s Portuguese gaffer has already
But Amorim is hoping to sign more players, including a
United have so far only raised £25m this summer through sell-on clauses and Jadon Sancho’s loan release from
And the Telegraph claims they are now ready to listen to bargain offers for players not in Amorim’s plans.
Garnacho is likely to command the biggest fee, but that won’t be much more than £40m.
United valued him at nearly double in January after telling suitors to cough up £70m.
Chelsea are considering a move as they also enter talks with RB Leipzig for Xavi Simons.
And £40m could be too good an opportunity for Todd Boehly’s side to turn down.
Meanwhile, former Blues loanee Sancho does not appear to have any takers for a permanent move despite entering the final year of his contract.
He has refused to budge on his £250,000-a-week wages, scuppering his chances of a permanent Stamford Bridge switch.
And United are ready to let Sancho depart on another loan deal, with Juventus leading the race.
It means they will lose him for free next summer, five years after signing him for £73m, but will at least see some of his wages covered for the current season.
Fellow winger Antony is also likely to depart, with Real Betis keen on a permanent move after his loan ended.
However, they have so far refused to meet United’s £40m asking price.
And that could drop significantly to allow a transfer to go through, resulting in an even bigger hit on Antony’s £85m fee.
Left-back Tyrell Malacia, who cost £15m, is also out of favour after returning from his PSV loan.
It’s reckoned United are ready to let him leave for a nominal fee after landing replacements in Patrick Dorgu and Diego Leon.
And finally, Marcus Rashford is on the brink of another loan exit, this time to Barcelona.
United valued the forward at £100m just two years ago.
But like former loan side Aston Villa, Barca will have the option to sign Rashford permanently for just £40m should things go well.
