Manchester United to benefit from Atletico's Carreras transfer

Manchester United could soon benefit from a transfer involving former player Alvaro Carreras, now with Benfica. Reports suggest that Atletico Madrid has decided to pursue the young left-back, who has been impressive this season. His contract with Benfica includes a sell-on clause that could provide United with extra funds. Carreras joined Benfica last year on a six-month loan, which turned into a permanent move. United negotiated various clauses, including a sell-on agreement. As Atletico looks to strengthen their team, Carreras has become their top target, and they are prepared to outbid United if necessary. If the deal goes through, it would help United financially, which is crucial as they aim to make new signings. Manager Amorim needs funds from player sales to reshape the squad effectively. In addition to Carreras, several other players might be leaving United. Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans, and Victor Lindelof are expected to depart as their contracts expire, but United won't make any money from these exits. However, their wages will be removed from the payroll. Aston Villa might buy Marcus Rashford for £40 million, and United is open to selling Antony permanently. Rasmus Hojlund and Jadon Sancho, whose loan deal with Chelsea could turn into a sale, are also in the spotlight. Finally, Casemiro is among the candidates who could leave to accommodate new signings, including Felix Nmecha.
