According to ESPN, Manchester United does not need to sell players before the transfer window is closed to bring forward.

This summer, Manchester United has spent £130 million to introduce Cunha and Mbemo. Sources said that despite the club's financial situation still tight, Rashford's loan franchise for Barcelona saved Manchester United £12 million in salary expenses, which made some room for the Red Devils. In addition, Manchester United has also raised some funds through some terms in other deals. For example, the transfer share of Ilanga, Alvaro Fernandez and Maxi Oyedler, as well as the 5 million pounds of compensation paid by Chelsea to give up buying out of Sancho, with a total amount of 20.7 million pounds.

These revenues, coupled with Manchester United's introduction of Cunha and Mbemo, are in installments, so the Red Devils have some flexibility in introducing forwards. At present, Manchester United is still interested in Leipzig's Sesco and has contacted the Bundesliga club, and negotiations are underway. Newcastle is also interested in Cesco and has offered 80 million euros. If Cesco is not signed, Manchester United may increase interest in Watkins. However, Villa was not willing to let the 29-year-old striker go this summer, and they also rejected Arsenal's £60 million offer in January.
