Manchester United are looking to make their first sale of the January transfer window with Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho both being linked with moves away from the club.
With the pair being academy graduates, selling either would give the club a huge financial boost, registering as pure profit under Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
Whilst Rashford is being considered for a loan deal by many of Europe’s elite clubs, Garnacho is looking at a more permanent move to Napoli.
The Italian side have had their first bid of £40 million rejected, with United wanting at least £60 million for the Argentine.
Whilst United are hoping to retain the winger, Paul Scholes has argued for his departure.

Paul Scholes slams Alejandro Garnacho
Speaking after United’s 3-1 win over Southampton thanks to a remarkable Amad Diallo hattrick, Scholes spoke about United’s need to make sales.
When asked if the club are desperate to sell to finance the remodelling of the squad under Ruben Amorim, Scholes commented: “I can see that with Garnacho, yeah.”
He continued: “I think United could get better than Garnacho, although he’s a young player and there’s still probably better to come, I still think he’s a little bit scruffy in his technique at times, I think his decision-making sometimes is really poor.
“I wouldn’t be afraid or I wouldn’t be worried if they sold Garnacho. But Mainoo, I would be offended by that.
“The lad [Garnacho] is absolutely capable, there’s no doubt about that, but finding him a position in this team has been a struggle.”
However, he continued with his praise of Mainoo, commenting: “All the hard work the club have had to do, he’s probably been since seven or eight years of age, and then to sell him for some PSR rules, it’s ridiculous.
“He’s United’s brightest spark, he’s the leading man who could be here for the next five to ten years.”
