Manchester United under no pressure to sell amid new transfer deadline

Must read

Manchester United are under no pressure to sell any players before the June 30 ‘deadline’ for Premier League clubs to comply with the profitability and sustainability rules.

United sources insist they have managed their finances to ensure compliance and the club does not anticipate any rushed outgoings this week.




Some Premier League clubs have discussed trading players this month amid accusations they are exploiting a loophole in the PSR rules.

Aston Villa signed Everton academy graduate Lewis Dobbin last week while Tim Iroegbunam headed in the opposite direction. Dobbin, 21, played 15 times for Everton last term and Iroegbunam, 20, made 15 appearances for Villa. Both commanded fees of £9million.

Villa and Chelsea have also been in discussions about homegrown players Omari Kellyman and Ian Maatsen. Chelsea left back Maatsen, 22, spent last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund and is reputedly valued at £37.5m.
