Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho could leave Manchester United for the right price according to reports.

Manchester United may be forced to sell some of their homegrown players, including Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho, in order to comply with the Premier League's financial regulations.

The club is not actively looking to sell either player, but their £200million summer spending spree means they need to balance their books.

Selling homegrown players would provide a significant boost to United's financial status, as they would be sold for a profit without any transfer fees having been paid to acquire them.

Marcus Rashford, another homegrown player, is also reportedly close to an exit.

The 27-year-old is currently out of favor under manager Ruben Amorim and has expressed his desire for a "new challenge."

Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan are believed to be discussing the possibility of a loan deal.

Mainoo's contract is set to expire in the summer of 2027, with United holding the option to extend it for a further year.

The club will also try to bring new players in this month to help Amorim and top of the list is believed to be a new striker.
