Former England and Manchester United’s Midfielder, Paul Scholes has predicted that the club will look to sell academy stars Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho this summer.
The both Man United’s academy graduates were important players for the Red Devils under Erik Ten hag, in fact they were the stars of the show last season and their fine campaigns were capped with goals in the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.
Meanwhile, this season under a new manager has seen both players struggle to impress, with Argentinian winger Garnacho has only scored one goal since November and England young star Mainoo has missed numerous matches due to injuries.
It’s said that both of them (especially kobbie Mainoo) have failed to nail down a particular position in Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 hybrid formation, having already mastered a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 formation under Erik Ten hag.
Moreover, According to club insiders- The Red Devils are expected to have a tight budget this summer due to PSR rules and a potential lack of European football, so may need to get creative if they want to spend the money that Amorim craves to upgrade his playing squad.
Close sources confirmed to Footyvalid reporters that both kobbie Mainoo and Garnacho could be available for transfer. The club could make pure profit on their sale as they are products of Carrington.
Premier League rivals, Chelsea have shown interest in the both players but it’s yet unclear if they’ll be back this summer to hunt for either of their signatures.
