UEFA Cup Lost Championship and forced Manchester United to 100 million pounds to clean up: Sancho, Hoylen and Rashford lead

Losing to Tottenham in the final of the UEFA Cup, the loss for Manchester United is a huge loss!

First of all, from the perspective of results, the four major seasons are all gone, and the final results of the Premier League are the best, and the worst will be the seventeenth place.

Secondly, from an economic perspective, the UEFA Cup champion prize was 10.95 million pounds, and the runner-up was only 5.9 million pounds, which lost 5.05 million pounds; the basic prize in the Champions League stage was 15.6 million pounds, winning a prize of 1.75 million pounds. With tickets, advertising, etc., we missed the Champions League next season, and Manchester United earned at least 50 million pounds less.

Once again, the team is facing reconstruction, and the summer window is signed and there is no qualification for European competition, so it naturally lacks attractiveness to the players. If you want to force it, you will have to spend more money.

The 2025 summer transfer window has not officially opened, and Manchester United's cleaning plan has caused a shock in the football world. According to the latest report from the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United will carry out a major cleaning of nearly £100 million this summer, giving priority to the cleaning of Rashford, Anthony and Sancho rented, and also listing Hoylen.

Rashford: From the "Youth Training Flag" to the financial burden, Rashford's departure is the most symbolic cleaning. The England striker, who was once regarded as Manchester United's future core, declined sharply after his contract renewal in 2023, and his performance was still sluggish during his loan to Aston Villa this season. Manchester United priced it for £40 million, but there are few internal buyers in the Premier League. The club expects him to switch to the foreign league, with Paris Saint-Germain or Saudi giants becoming potential next players. Its weekly salary of up to £325,000 has become the biggest burden that Manchester United is eager to get rid of.

Anthony: Anthony, who joined the 100 million euros for a stop loss attempt, was labeled as "the most expensive squadron of the Premier League". Despite a slight rebound in form between loan and Betis, Manchester United still plans to sell at a low price of £32.5 million, only one-quarter of the original price. Head coach Amorin completely lost trust in him, and even would rather use the teenager in the echelon than give the Brazilian winger another chance.

Sancho: The "sale" under the mandatory buyout clause

Sancho's departure path is the clearest. The agreement to lease Chelsea includes a mandatory buyout clause of £25 million. If the Blues choose to pay a penalty of 5 million to cancel the clause, Manchester United may resell it to potential buyers such as Dortmund. His weekly salary of £250,000 conflicts with the long-term locker room, speeding up the cleaning process.

Hoylen: From "New Haaland" to failed experiment

Hoylen, who joined with the halo of "New Haaland", became a laughing stock due to his 20 consecutive goals drought. Manchester United lost patience with it and planned to sell it at a loss price, while turning to alternative targets such as Ipswich striker Drapp. The deal marks the club's reflection on the "young potential stock" strategy.

Manchester United's cleaning is by no means a simple tactical adjustment, behind it is severe financial pressure. According to the Premier League Profit and Sustainable Development Rules (PSR), the club's cumulative losses in the past three years have exceeded £300 million, far exceeding the allowable ceiling of £105 million. If the player balances the accounts are not sold, Manchester United will face the risk of deductions and even bans in the European game.

The "pure profit" value of youth training players: Although youth training players such as Garnacho and Menu have not been included in the core cleaning list, the club has made it clear that they have "no absolute non-selling products". The transfer fees of youth training players can be fully included in net profit, which has become the key to rapidly improving financial statements.

Salary and weight loss: Clean up high-paid players such as Rashford, Casemiro (weekly salary of 325,000 pounds), Sancho and other high-paid players, saving more than 80 million pounds of salary expenditure every year.

Historical debt drag: Transfer installments in the Glazer family era owed as much as £414 million, second only to Chelsea, forcing Manchester United to ease cash flow pressure through short-term cash outs.
