'Man United tipped to copy Chelsea PSR escape after Mainoo and Garnacho latest'

Man United could look to emulate Chelsea's tactic in an attempt to avoid being forced to sell players to negotiate PSR issues, football finance and business expert Stefan Borson has suggested.

It has been suggested that the Red Devils may reluctantly sell homegrown players such as Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho in order to raise funds to comply with financial rules (The Athletic).

That would be a contrasting approach to Chelsea. Earlier this year, Borson revealed to Football Insider that the club are looking to offload their ownership rights of their women's team to a BlueCo company, in order to get around financial regulations.

Borson has now suggested that Man United ought to look to do the same with their own women's side in order to cope with those issues in a similar way.

Taking to social media to react to those suggestions of big-name homegrown sales at Old Trafford, Borson wrote:

"If Chelsea really have managed to get PL fair market value approval for a “sale” of the Women’s team to a separate group entity for say £150m of PSR “profit”, it’s hard to understand why MU wouldn’t simply do the same if really that pressed on PSR or keen to create more capacity".

Man United must look for ways to keep their key players

It would seem to make sense for the Red Devils to do what they can to keep hold of the likes of Mainoo and Garnacho.

Both have shown huge potential since coming through the ranks at Man United already becoming important and influential players for the club at times.

With that in you feel the club do have to look to find ways to keep these individuals given how important results on the pitch are for progress at Old Trafford.

That may mean looking at ways to offload other assets, although admittedly, doing this with the women's team in order to avoid selling men's players may not be seen as a great look by all.

However, Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS certainly do not seem to have been afraid of upsetting anyone since they took control at Man United.

As a result, this may be something they would be open to doing if it saves them money on the club without harming their prospects on the pitch.
