Scholes Fears Man United Could Sell Mainoo and Garnacho This Summer
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has raised concerns that the club could be forced to sell two of its brightest young stars — Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho — during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Scholes shared his thoughts following United’s goalless draw with Manchester City. He expresses doubts about the club’s financial strength to bring in the quality players needed to improve the squad.
Scholes questioned whether there’s enough money to make necessary signings. He said especially after co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s recent interviews, which hinted at financial strain within the club.
“It doesn’t feel like the manager will be handed a large budget,” Scholes said. “I have a feeling they might end up selling Mainoo and Garnacho. It would be a tough one to accept, especially Mainoo, who’s been at United since he was a kid.”
Scholes also pointed out that the lack of funds could be a major issue heading into the summer. Also, he noted that Ratcliffe had already mentioned the club was nearly out of cash before implementing cost-cutting strategies.
Kylian Mbappé has named former Spanish international Sergio Ramos as his ideal captain, calling him a natural-born leader. In an interview with Canal Plus, the French forward praised Ramos for his commanding presence and influence both on and off the pitch.
“My dream captain? Sergio Ramos,” Mbappé said. “He was born to lead. Whether it’s in the dressing room or on the field, his presence speaks for itself. Even without the armband, it feels like the armband chooses him.”
Mbappé and Ramos shared two seasons together at Paris Saint-Germain, appearing in 51 matches as teammates. The connection between the two clearly left a mark on the 25-year-old striker. Ramos eventually returned to La Liga with Sevilla after leaving PSG. As for Mbappé, he made headlines by joining Real Madrid in 2024 after choosing not to renew his contract with PSG, leaving on a free transfer.
Former Cameroonian player, Geremi Njitap claims that Inter Miami has no chance of winning the FIFA World Cup this season.
The former player shared that despite Lionel Messi being on the team, there is no chance of winning the FIFA cup, he also added that Messi has passed his prime.
“Lionel Messi is no longer young, he is going to come up against great clubs who have great players in the peak of their careers. Does he have a chance of winning it? I don’t think so.”
Ex Chelsea Striker, Tore Andre Flo praises the club for their recent decision on signing in AC Milan goalkeeper, Mike Maignan.
The former striker explained the decision as a smart move on Chelsea’s part and highlighted how strong the team’s defense will become.
“It sounds like a good signing to me. A club like Chelsea would improve the squad straight away if there was any doubt [over Robert Sanchez]. To me it sounds very, very smart.”
