Manchester United does not need to offload players to sign a new striker, according to sources. They have invested over £130m on Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo this summer. Although the club's financial situation is tight, Marcus Rashford's loan to Barcelona has saved over £12m in wages, providing some financial flexibility. Additional funds have emerged from sell-on clauses and penalties from other transfers. United maintains interest in signing striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig while considering Ollie Watkins if they miss out on Sesko.
Manchester United do not need to offload players before the end of the window in order to bring in a new striker, sources have told ESPN.
Marcus Rashford's loan move to Barcelona -- saving more than £12m ($15.9m) in wages -- has created some headroom.
Around £20.7m has come in through sell-ons for Anthony Elanga, Alvaro Fernadez and Maxi Oyedele and the £5m penalty Chelsea paid to pull out of the deal to sign Jadon Sancho permanently.
Interest remains in Benjamin Sesko. Contact has been made with RB Leipzig and talks are ongoing.
