Manchester United s "Three Guys" cash out record: Can £130 million be bought for hope for revival?

The Premier League transfer market will never lack drama, and Manchester United seems to be going on to perform another big sale this summer. Garnacho £65 million, Anthony €50 million, Rashford €35 ​​million - the transfer rumors of three controversial players made Old Trafford more lively outside the court than inside.

But let's think about it from another perspective: is this a wise move for Manchester United to rebuild, or is it another gamble of seeking medical treatment?

Youth Training Treasure or a cash-out tool?

20-year-old Garnacho was priced at £65 million, a figure that would make any Manchester United fan gasp. This Argentine young player has indeed shown great potential, but is the 25 games of 8 goals and 5 assists really worth the price? You know, Ronaldo had terrifying data of 42 goals and 8 assists in his last season at Manchester United back then.

Manchester United management seems to be trapped in the myth of "youth training premium". From Greenwood to Garnacho, the Red Devils always like to label their youth training products as non-sales products, and then suddenly change their words when the finances are tight, and the price is appropriate.

This reminds people of that classic Wall Street joke: When a banker says something is priceless, it actually means "I haven't found a fool who is willing to pay a high price yet.

What's more ironic is that the funds obtained from the sale of Garnacho will be used to introduce Cunya, the Wolves. This kind of operation of selling potential and buying combat power is like exchanging the future for the present.

The fantasy drift of RMB 100 million in parallel

Anthony's story is the most magical realist script in football. 9 Buy it for 5 million euros and sold it for 50 million euros. Manchester United's deal is a loss no matter how you look at it. But what's interesting is that there are actually three clubs fighting for this "parallel" now.

Betis, Atletico Madrid and even the rumored Barcelona must have written content that we can't see. Anthony has 8 goals and 3 assists in 72 games at Manchester United, and 8 goals and 5 assists in loaning Betis in 21 games - this data difference is even wider than the English Channel. Difficult Can Spain's sunshine really make the Brazilian reborn? Or is Manchester United's tactical system a star black hole?

The most intriguing thing is Atletico's quotation: fixed by 45 million euros + floating by 30 million euros. Simeone has always been known for his fierce vision. What is Anthony's point? Is it the inward cut shot? Is it the bike that can never be broken? Or just want to give Manchester United a step? Let's think about it from another perspective. Maybe Atletico just needs a wing engineer who can run and grab, and An Tony happens to fit this role.

Rashford's er-Samon

Rashford wants to go to Barcelona? This news is more confusing than Manchester United's defense this season. A striker who doesn't even understand in the Premier League wants to go to La Liga with higher technical content? A player who relies on speed to adapt to Barcelona's passing and control system?

But carefully analyze, behind this is a smart agent game. As the agent of Frick and Lewandowski, Zahavi is just In the game of big chess. Rashford is just a piece in his hand to consolidate his cooperation with Barcelona's senior management. As for whether the player is suitable for Barcelona? That doesn't matter at all.

Manchester United acts like a shareholder who is eager to leave. 350,000 pounds a weekly salary? No! " "40 million buyout clause? It can be discussed! This clearance and sale attitude does not look like the demeanor of a wealthy club. You know, Rashford was the prince of Manchester United two years ago, but now he is Descend to the point where we are going to be sent away by paying wages.

Rebuild or demolish the east wall to repair the west wall?

On the surface, these three deals can bring about 130 million pounds of funds to Manchester United, but none of the deep-seated problems have been solved. Manchester United's transfer strategy has always been swaying between scoring lottery tickets and rushing to seek medical treatment, and lacks long-term plans. As the new head coach, Amorin faces a more difficult challenge than Mourinho's era. He not only needs to integrate a broken team, but also needs to go to FFP Dancing under the tight curse of the (Financial Fairness Act). But the question is, can the funds earned by selling youth training and getting rid of the burden really build a competitive team?

Let's do a simple math problem: sell Garnacho, Anthony, Rashford, buy Cunha, how much money does Manchester United have to strengthen other positions? How to fill the vacancies in key positions, such as central defenders, midfielders, and right backs? Not to mention that the team's salary structure has become so deformed that it needs to be sold to maintain a level by relying on selling people.

Manchester United's dilemma reflects the common problem of Premier League giants: they lose their competitive nature in the wave of commercialization. When transfer fees become headlines, when social media popularity replaces the performance of the stadium, the purest competitive charm of football is being eaten up little by little.

Perhaps, what Manchester United should sell most is not a player, but a mentality of quick success. The real reconstruction is not about having a few more zeros on the book, but about retrieving the soul of the Red Devil that once made the opponent frightened.
