Manchester United’s summer rebuild is in full swing, with INEOS prioritising smart sales to free up funds for Ruben Amorim’s first transfer window in charge.
While major names like Marcus Rashford and Antony dominate the headlines, it’s United’s academy products that could quietly generate significant revenue.
INEOS are fully aware that selling Carrington graduates means banking pure profit — a crucial strategy in the club’s push to meet Financial Fair Play regulations.

With the futures of Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo also being discussed internally, it’s clear no name is entirely off the table — at least not without the right offer.
United’s transfer team is carefully assessing every outgoing, and attention is beginning to shift toward one rising talent in particular.
Jack Kingdon is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer, and the 19-year-old centre-back is already being courted by a host of Championship clubs before he’s even officially out the door.
The Scottish youth international, who joined United from Morecambe at 16, developed through the academy and played a vital part in the club’s trophy-laden U18 side.
Jack Kingdon was awarded his first professional contract on the back of impressive academy performances last year.
He went on loan to Rochdale earlier this year where he gained valuable senior experience, playing regular football in the National League.

Kingdon’s composure on the ball and natural leadership at the back have drawn praise, and scouts from Wrexham have been tracking him closely, as per EFL Analysis.
Wrexham appear to be pushing the hardest.
Backed by their high-profile owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mcelhenney, and now preparing for League One football, the Welsh outfit see Jack Kingdon as a long-term pillar in their defensive rebuild.
Sources at EFL Analysis reveal that scouts from Wrexham have been particularly attentive to the teenager’s recent development.
Wrexham’s rapid rise through the leagues and their investment in young, hungry talent make them a uniquely appealing destination.
A move to the Racecourse Ground could offer Kingdon both the platform to play regularly and the profile boost of being part of one of the most talked-about football stories in Britain.
Leicester, Derby, and Millwall are also all interested, but Wrexham’s momentum and ambition could give them an edge in the race.
Though Jack Kingdon has not yet made his senior debut for Manchester United, his pedigree, potential and first-team exposure at Rochdale have already made him one of the most talked-about academy exits this summer.
United’s willingness to part ways with a player of Kingdon’s profile underlines the scale of change underway at Old Trafford — with no seat guaranteed in Amorim’s new era.
