Manchester United s signing of Mbemo triggered a chain reaction and is expected to earn 7 million! Inuka has a share of the Red Devils old players

Manchester United is seeking Brentford for 25-year-old Cameroon winger Mbemo. Interestingly, the deal could "kill two birds with one stone" and help the club receive another transfer fee from Anthony Ellanda, who sold two years ago. The 23-year-old Swedish winger was sold to Nottingham Forest at the time, and the contract had a second transfer share clause. Newcastle United, which gave up the introduction of Mbemo, is considering introducing Ellanda instead.

Elanga joined Nottingham Forest from Manchester United in 2023. His transfer fee was only 15 million pounds. The then Red Devils coach Ten Hager did not appreciate this Red Devils youth training player Ronnick was very optimistic about, so he chose to sell him. However, when he arrived at the city stadium, Ellanga performed well. He scored 6 goals in the Premier League but assisted as many as 11 times, second only to Liverpool's Salah, and one more time than Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandez! Ellanga also plays right winger like Mbemo, but he is right-footed right winger, unlike the latter who cuts in the back foot with his left foot.

Elanga's outstanding performance helped Nottingham Forest qualify for European war for the first time since the 1994/95 season. However, this cannot prevent their players from being poached by giants, and Ellanga is the target that the Champions League team Newcastle has always coveted. Because Mbemo chose Manchester United, who was willing to give £200,000 a week, "Magpie" could only consider other candidates, so he contacted Elanga's agent again.

The Daily Mail said that Newcastle had contacted Elanga's team on Friday to ask if he could transfer. The potential deal is still in its early stages, but it is certain that Eddie Hau is interested in Ellanga, who tried to introduce it at the last moment of last summer window, but the £35 million offer was rejected. If Elanga agrees to join fellow Swedish Isaac, Newcastle may pay £50 million to introduce it. Nottingham Forest can make a big profit. They still have a three-year contract with Ellanga, but Manchester United can also get a share of it.

Elanga joined Manchester United at the age of 12, so the Red Devils can get a share of youth training first. In addition, when Manchester United sold him to Forest, they implanted a 20% second transfer share clause. This means that once the forest sells Ellanga, the Red Devils can take 20% of the profit.

If Newcastle brings £50 million into Ellanda, Manchester United will get £7 million. But Elanga's transfer fee may not end up being so high. The Manchester Evening News predicts that the Red Devils may get a share of £3 million to £6 million in the deal.

Although this amount is not high, it is enough to help Manchester United introduce some funds to Mbemo. Brentford demands a transfer fee of about 65 million pounds, which is nearly 10 million pounds higher than Manchester United's first offer of 55 million pounds. The share of Ellanga may fill this difference.

Manchester United is discovering that selling itself to players on other teams at a lower price may lead to higher revenue in a similar way. In addition to Ellanga, Red Devils former player Alvaro Carreras Fernandez will surely bring an extra income to the club in the summer window, and he is discussing a £42 million transfer to his parent team Real Madrid.

In addition, Mason Greenwood, the "Aoki King" sold by Manchester United to Marseille, will also enrich Ruben Amorin's transfer budget once it transfers. When he joined Marseille, the transfer contract stipulated a 50% second transfer share, but at the end of the season, the Ligue 1 runner-up activated a special clause, reducing the share share to 40%.

In the past, Manchester United's highest income through a youth training player second transfer was from England international Michael Keane, who joined Everton from Burnley with £30 million, and Manchester United enjoyed £7 million.
