Manchester United saves 100 million pounds overnight! Manchester United cashes out 62 million pounds and saves 38.6 million in a year s salary

Manchester United's operation this summer can be called a textbook-level "bomb disposal operation"! Rashford, Sancho, Anthony and Garnacho, these four stars who were once highly anticipated, have now been cleared out of the team.

They were cleaned up not only because of their sluggish performance, but also because they received high salaries but made little contributions, which once dropped to freezing point. After the new coach Amorin took office, he decisively excluded the four people from the first team and even prevented them from participating in the first team training. The British media directly gave them a nickname for this: "Bomb Squad".

Now, the transfer window is closed and the "bomb" is basically removed. Through the operation of renting and selling, Manchester United not only recovered £62 million in transfer fees, but also saved £38.6 million in salary expenditure a year, freeing up a total of £100 million in salary space.

Rashford was the first to leave. On July 23, Manchester United officially announced that Rashford was loaned to Barcelona, ​​with a buyout clause of 30 million euros. In order to successfully join, Rashford even voluntarily cut his salary by 30%, and all his salary was borne by Barcelona. With this deal alone, Manchester United saved £17 million a year.

Garacho's transfer to Chelsea for £40 million, becoming one of Manchester United's few profitable operations this summer. Garnacho's salary of 50,000 pounds a week when he was at Manchester United, and his transfer saved Manchester United another 2.6 million pounds a year. In addition, Garnacho's relationship with new coach Amorin has completely broken down, and even if he stays in the team, he will have no chance to play.

Anthony's transfer process was quite twists and turns, and he finally decided to join Betis before the transfer window was closed. Its transfer fee is 25 million euros, and the two parties have signed a contract for 5 years. It is worth mentioning that Manchester United also retains 50% of Anthony's share of future transfers. You should know that Manchester United spent 95 million euros to buy Anthony, and this transaction directly lost 70 million euros, but being able to send him away can be considered a timely stop loss.

Sancho was loaned to Villa at the last moment. Villa is willing to bear 80% of his salary, which can almost cover Sancho's entire salary, including the bonus. Sancho's annual salary at Manchester United is £13 million, which means that Manchester United will save another expense.

Except for Malaysia, all members of the "Bomb Squad" have left the team. When these people stayed in the team, they spent about £500,000 per week in the club's salary, but they were basically unable to contribute to the team.

Manchester United's salary structure has completely lost control in the past few years. In the 23/24 season, the team's total salary expenditure reached 365 million pounds, ranking third in the Premier League. However, the team's performance was seriously inconsistent with it, ranking 8th in the Premier League this season and even fell to 15th in the following season. The most typical example is Alexis Sanchez, who signed him with a weekly salary of 500,000 pounds, almost disrupting the entire salary structure. Now, Manchester United has learned its lessons and the salary of newly introduced players this year is controlled to be less than 200,000 pounds a week, and adopts a contract model of "high incentives and low basic salary" and no longer acts as a sucker.

The purpose of cleaning these four players is not only to save money, but also to improve the team atmosphere. These players have continued to perform poorly in the past few seasons, but have high salaries. In this way, how can the team atmosphere be good?

Now, Manchester United spent 200 million pounds to introduce Seshko, Mbemo and Cunha, and the new offensive line was formed. Sending off the old players and welcoming new players, Manchester United can be said to be light-fitting this time.
