Manchester United are still trying to offload several players before the transfer window closes to fund their transfer business, but it’s not straightforward.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Dan Ashworth have their hands tied on multiple fronts, but their main issue is that the players they are keen to sell are on huge wages.
The most stark example is Casemiro, who has been deemed surplus to requirements by the Man Utd hierarchy but earns an eye-watering £350,000 per week.
As previously reported, Casemiro is a target for several Saudi Pro League sides but his salary demands are proving an obstacle, even for them.
According to reports, Man Utd are facing the same problem with Victor Lindelof, who the Red Devils are also actively looking to sell this summer.
They have already signed a new centre-back in Leny Yoro, who is sidelined for around three months with an injury, but also want to sign Matthijs de Ligt to bolster their options in the position.
