Can Manchester United avoid going bankrupt if they do this?

According to the well-known British media Sky Sports, Manchester United will introduce a defensive midfielder in the 2026 summer window, and the management is not prepared to renew Casemiro's contract.

The Europa League trip is not very convincing, and the former strongman will be abandoned

Late last season, Casemiro had an outstanding performance in the Europa League, which did not seem to convince Ratcliffe to accept his 300,000 pound weekly salary renewal offer. In the context of "cost reduction, energy conservation and emission reduction", the Brazilian's high salary (350,000) has become a burden that the team urgently needs to get rid of.

In terms of finding Casemiro's replacement, Manchester United's primary target is Brighton's "Mr. Billionaire" Baleba, and Nottingham Forest's Elliott Anderson is regarded as Plan B.

Get rid of the baggage and continue to make big purchases

While dealing with the redundant staff left by the previous coach, Manchester United must continue to purchase players at a premium. In addition to chasing Baleba, Manchester United is also interested in Juventus' new star Yildiz. This versatile frontcourt player has just broken the Turkish player's worth record (75 million euros).

However, considering that most of Manchester United's signings from Serie A, Eredivisie and other leagues in recent years have ended in failure, the introduction of Yildiz, who has not yet proven himself in the Champions League, is a risky gamble in itself. Over the past year, Ratcliffe has taken multiple measures to relieve Manchester United's financial crisis, but if they make another mistake in their big-ticket signings, the risk of bankruptcy will continue to hang over the team.
