2) Money from Di Maria sale
United already have plenty of money to spend, but will have even more cash to play around with once a deal to sell Angel Di Maria to Paris Saint-Germain is finalised, with the Argentine flop set to bring in around £46m from his departure. Granted, that may only be about half of what Ronaldo would cost, but it’s something! The club have also made other sales this summer and could still offload the likes of David de Gea, Jonny Evans and Rafael for reasonable amounts of money.
