Beyond The 90

Manchester United are weighing up a move for Lewis Hall amid the latest disarray at Newcastle ✍️

Lisandro Martinez has managed to start just 65 Premier League matches in his four years at Manchester United 📉

United face an anxious wait to discover the full severity of the defender's latest injury. The opening game of the Premier League season against newly-promoted Hull City is now less than 5️⃣ weeks away

Michael Carrick is facing the real possibility of being without one of his first-choice centre-backs for the opening day 😬

The 28-year-old defender has been a fan favourite since arriving at Old Trafford back in 2022. Yet he has spent far too much time on the sidelines during his spell in Manchester 🤕

Martinez has now entered the final year of his United contract. And with his contract ticking down, he is effectively playing for his future at Old Trafford 👊

United's defensive options are already severely stretched. Matthijs de Ligt is currently recovering from surgery on a back problem picked up last year 👀

That leaves the club facing a central dilemma over whether Martinez is "too good to let go, even though he is unavailable so often?" 🤔

Rest up, King. You'll play under a manager who actually appreciates you this upcoming season. ❤️

🚨💰𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐒𝐄 has to be some of the BEST ways to sign players when the fee inserted is very considerable.

🇧🇷 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐮𝐬 𝐂𝐮𝐧𝐡𝐚 signed from Wolves for around £𝟔𝟐𝐌 release clause💰

🇧🇪 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢 𝐓𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬 signed from Aston Villa for £𝟑𝟓𝐌 release clause💰

Both players would cost more without 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 inserted into their contracts.

This is exactly how you beat the system! In an era where even average squad players are being quoted at £80M+, hunting down established Premier League stars with release clauses is the smartest way to protect your budget
