According to BD Cricket Live Sports Center, Manchester United’s new ownership has introduced a clear cost-cutting policy. While people often seek the truth, they struggle to accept it — a contradiction the new leadership appears to embrace with financial discipline. The days of extravagant spending and unchecked transfer splurges are over. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a globally renowned businessman, is known for his rigorous cost-to-benefit analysis, and he’s applying the same standards to his football investments.

It’s no surprise then that United’s transfer spending this summer will be strictly limited. Club insiders have revealed that the net budget will not exceed £50 million. In other words, unless United sells players first, they’ll have only that amount to invest. As BD Cricket Live reporters note, this frugal approach isn’t just about being cautious — it also aligns with UEFA’s financial fair play rules. Any breach could lead to sanctions, something the new ownership is keen to avoid.

This means that if United wants to pursue any high-profile signings, they’ll need to follow a sell-to-buy model. By offloading players for significant fees, they can supplement their base budget. Without sales, however, only low-to-mid-tier acquisitions are feasible. In this context, Mason Greenwood has emerged as a prime candidate to be sold in order to generate funds.

Since returning to the pitch in La Liga, Greenwood has performed well, proving that his talent hasn’t faded. Several clubs have expressed serious interest in him, making a transfer more likely. Given the controversies surrounding his status in the UK, United is expected to part ways with him permanently. Lazio has already submitted a £30 million offer, and discussions have begun over performance-based add-ons that could increase the total fee. Lazio is reportedly open to these conditions.

Still, Manchester United is holding out for more. With other clubs like Juventus, Napoli, Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid also in the mix, the club is waiting to see how high the bidding can go. If the transfer turns into a competitive auction, the sale price could rise significantly — a result that would greatly benefit United’s tight summer budget.

BD Cricket Live sources suggest that if Greenwood is sold for a figure closer to the club’s internal valuation, it would free up substantial funds, dramatically increasing their chances of bringing in new players before the transfer window closes.
