Paul Scholes fears Manchester United will sell academy graduates Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho this summer.
Scholes’ attentions turned to a vital transfer window for United boss Ruben Amorim following Sunday’s uneventful goalless derby against Manchester City.
The Old Trafford legend and ex-England midfielder believes his former club need several new signings to improve the squad but questioned whether there was money in the pot to do just that.
Last month, United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe opened up on the club’s financial problems and suggested the club were close to running out of cash before he implemented a series of cost-cutting measures.
With Amorim needed cash and new signings to inject some quality into a team currently just 13th in the Premier League, Scholes believes Ratcliffe will raise funds by selling Mainoo and Garnacho.
Manchester United are reportedly open to offers for Mainoo, who was one of the club’s best players last season and played for England at last summer’s Euros.
Garnacho has also been heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford, even attracting interest from Premier League rivals Chelsea during the January transfer window.
