Reports suggest Manchester United is interested in signing FC Barcelona’s Raphinha, who the club might let go. With a new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, people anticipate changes at Old Trafford for the upcoming season.

The INEOS boss bought a small part of Manchester United, but he’s now in charge of how they handle football decisions. He’s working on making their recruitment better.

This season, United hasn’t performed well. They reached the FA Cup final, but they exited the Champions League and Carabao Cup early. They’re currently sixth in the Premier League.

Manchester United Considering Selling Rashford, Eyeing Replacements

A recent report suggested that almost every player at Manchester United could be sold, including Marcus Rashford. Rashford was amazing for United last season, scoring 30 goals in all competitions. However, he hasn’t been as good this season. A report from a Spanish news source Nacional says Manchester United will think about selling Rashford in the summer because he’s been disappointing this season.

Rashford could go to teams like Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Juventus, or PSG. It’s mentioned that Ratcliffe would need to sign a new player to replace Rashford if he departs.

Clubs are considering AC Milan’s Rafael Leao and Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. However, Barcelona might decide to sell Raphinha, so they are also monitoring him. Barcelona wants to close a deal quickly. Joan Laporta thinks they could use the money to bring in Nico Williams or other players he believes would be better for Barcelona.

He will ask Manchester United for 60 million euros (£51m). Coach Erik ten Hag is under a lot of pressure as we head into the summer. Club legend Gary Neville has advised his former team to give the Dutchman “one more season”.

At Old Trafford, the future of right wingers like Greenwood and Sancho, who are on loan, is uncertain. Meanwhile, Antony and Amad haven’t shown they’re good enough. That’s why Manchester United should sign a top right winger, and Raphinha would be a great choice.
