SEVERAL CLUBS are reportedly looking to buy Manchester United’s sell-on clauses for players that have already left Old Trafford.
The Red Devils have endured a miserable campaign so far and currently sit 15th in the Premier League table.

Amid the club’s disappointing form on the pitch, United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been desperately trying to save money behind the scenes.
The billionaire has already made 250 employees redundant, with up to 200 more to follow in the coming weeks.
He is also set to scrap free lunches for staff members at Old Trafford and reduce food options for those at Carrington to just soup and sandwiches.
Ratcliffe could now be handed another way of generating some cash involving players who are no longer at United.
The Telegraph has claimed that multiple clubs are now considering the possibility of buying sell-on clauses.
Man Utd have put sell-on clauses into several transfers over the last few years.
Facundo Pellistri was sold to Panathinaikos for around £6.8million last summer with a 45 per cent sell-on clause, meaning the Red Devils will receive almost half of the fee he is next sold for.
Similarly, they negotiated a 50 per cent sell-on clause when finalising Hannibal Mejbri‘s move to Burnley, although that will reduce over time.

Scott McTominay was let go for £25m plus a 10 per cent sell-on clause.
And striker Mason Greenwood has a reported 50 per cent sell-on clause in his Marseille contract.
Should Man Utd decide to cash-in on the clauses now, it would see them profit instantly.
It could be a huge positive for Ratcliffe and Co given the club’s poor financial situation.
Several players have enjoyed a resurgence in form after leaving Man Utd.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has impressed since joining West Ham, while McTominay has become a fan-favourite at Napoli.
Furthermore, Greenwood has recorded 19 goal contributions in 25 appearances for Marseille.
As a result, the striker has attracted some interest from the likes of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain in recent months.
