INEOS’ biggest challenge at Manchester United in the summer is a Glazer inheritance | OneFootball

Manchester United’s summer transfer window at the end of this season is set to be a landmark moment in the club’s history.

It is the first window under INEOS’ regime and if Sir Jim Ratcliffe has his way, United might have a new-look recruitment team in place as well.

That should soothe the concerns of United fans who have long lamented the lack of football expertise in decision-making.

However, their ambitions for the summer and beyond could be slowed down all due to years of wrongdoings by the Glazers and their people.

ESPN reports that United are aware of the need for an overhaul of the squad but they recognise that their ability to sell the players will be diminished greatly.

The report states that the stringent Profit and Sustainability rules have made Premier League clubs wary of spending freely.

Furthermore, United’s “on-sale” players fall under the worst category of high earners but low performers on long contracts.

The likes of Anthony Martial and Raphael Varane could be set to leave on the expiry of their contract but players like Casemiro will be pretty much impossible to shift.

Saudi Arabia is seen as a viable destination for some of these players but effectively calling time at top-level football is not a decision every player will make.

Moreover, if United can’t get rid of these players and their salaries off the wage bill, it will highly affect their ability to recruit as well.

It is no secret that United are skirting close to PSR and Financial Fair Play limits as well and have already been fined once for exceeding it.

Therefore, selling well and early is the key to a good transfer window but the mess they are inheriting from the Glazers will hit that prospect hard.

Ultimately, United might not have a choice but to let the contracts expire or take huge losses on sales just to be able to start on a clean slate.
