Manchester United could reportedly be ready to take the risky decision to cash in on two of their top young talents in the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils were apparently prepared to let both Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho leave in January, and the duo will be available again in the summer.
That’s according to a report in the Guardian, who add that the pair could have a combined value of around £150m.
Garnacho’s value is around £70m, while Mainoo would be slightly more expensive at £80m, according to the report, but one imagines many Man Utd fans won’t be too keen on these two big names potentially moving on.
Mainoo in particular is a real fan favourite after rising up through the United academy and making a real impression since breaking into their first-team last season.
Should Manchester United really be looking to cash in on Mainoo and Garnacho?

United have invested huge sums of money in some failed signings in recent years, so it perhaps now makes sense that the new ownership are keen to bank big fees on some young players in order to make a profit and keep in line with Financial Fair Play rules.
£80m for Mainoo, for instance, would be a huge profit considering he cost the club nothing due to being homegrown, while Garnacho was also snapped up on the cheap when he was a teenager.
Garnacho hasn’t been that consistent for MUFC so might be worth moving on if the deal is right, but offloading Mainoo might be seen as a bit of a step too far.
The Guardian’s report stresses that these players would need replacing, so it might be that United would be able to take advantage of an extra £150m to spend and end up improving their squad overall.
Ruben Amorim will surely need to make a number of changes to this struggling squad he’s inherited from Erik ten Hag, with Marcus Rashford already one big name who’s left Old Trafford since his arrival.
Sell of the best and keep all the shit, is that how we are going to win the league, great management skills that
I think it’s all bull-shit that both Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo would be sold in the summer to finance new recruits.
If you can’t get the best of your young talents, it would be foolish to think that incoming recruits will be better.
Well said Mike Knowles.Scott Mc Tomany Sancho Greenwood.Rashford gone.Now you want to sell what is left of the Academy
This makes no sense Garnatho maybe yes but Mainoo nope if possible keep garnatco too sell the dead wood and buy players young. but capable of playing the new system that’s been introduced I hope we not going to wait 20 years to win the league again like Liverpool did a fan for 45 years from south Africa
my suggestion sir keep young players who can adopt the new system ur call it, but Minaoo and Garnatho, probably Sancho Greenwood should be retained his a goal scoring machine
