According to reports from journalist David Ornstein, Manchester United will reluctantly consider the sale of homegrown talents like Kobbie Mainoo in this transfer window. The Red Devils are working towards maintaining their stance on the good side of the Premier League's financial rules, and a sale or two could be in the works.
The report from Ornstein (via New York Times) explained that United are not particularly looking to sell any of their homegrown players. However, if a suitable offer were to come from another club this January, they would not be averse to sitting at the negotiation table.
Their reason behind potentially selling homegrown talent is mainly Financial Fairplay Rules. Any player who came through the academy can be sold for pure profit. Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and winger Alejandro Garnacho have broken into the first team successfully, but they represent some of the Red Devils' most exciting homegrown talent.
