United Prepared To ‘Sacrifice’ 24 Year Old Midfielder In Attempts To Land £45m Rated Transfer Target

Manchester United will look to sell midfielder Andreas Pereira when the transfer window opens, according to the Mirror. The newspaper claims the Red Devils will “sacrifice” the 24-year-old in order to raise funds for Ajax’s Donny van de Beek.

The Dutchman’s club have confirmed that United are interested in the player, but it is believed the midfielder could cost in excess of €50m (£45m).

Combined with the fact that they could spend sizeable fees on their other top transfer targets, Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish, it means money will need to be found in order to secure the signing of van de Beek.


Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly a big fan of the Netherlands international, along with Bayer Leverkusen’s Kai Havertz, and the Manchester club are said to have scouted the pair extensively this season.

However, it is believed United have a greater chance of landing van de Beek, with Real Madrid having pulled back from making a bid due to financial reasons.
