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.
ITV confirms future of Unforgotten after six series and major cast shake-up.
After a rollercoaster sixth series and a huge cast shake-up, ITV has finally broken its silence on the future of Unforgotten.
Fans have been left wondering whether the show will return after its latest shocking twists – and now, the ITV has delivered an answer.
The broadcaster has confirmed that the show has been recommissioned for a seventh series following the success of series six.
The first episode of the new series has consolidated at 6.4 million with a peak viewing of 6.8 million after 7-day viewing.
After 14 days of viewing, the first episode peaked at 7.4 million viewers, making it the second highest-performing drama of the last year across all channels.
Unforgotten has also been streamed over 24 million times this year alone on ITVX.
Sinéad Keenan and Sanjeev Bhaskar announced the dramas recommission via social media, unveiling a script for series seven along with a message thanking viewers for their support.
Series creator and Executive Producer Chris Lang will write the seventh series.
Chris said: “I am so delighted to have been asked to create another series of Unforgotten, and given the opportunity once again to follow Sunny, Jess and their brilliant team, as they attempt to crack another cold case.
“Unforgotten is a drama that has always asked its audience to lean in, concentrate, and engage with complex ideas, plots and themes, and we are profoundly grateful that such a large and loyal audience continue to enjoy doing exactly that. Roll on series 7!!”
Series six came to a conclusion last night as Sunny and Jess unravelled their latest cold case, receiving widespread critical acclaim with many five-star reviews praising the drama and declaring Sunny and Jess “TV’s best detective duo.”
Gerry’s killer was finally revealed as Taylor Cooper.
Taylor told the officers that she went into the kitchen, after hearing a fight between her parents.
She grabbed a knife on the table and stabbed it into his leg, causing him to swing at her.
The unexpected twist explains why her mum was so against the police speaking to her – even if she didn’t realise herself that she had struck the fatal blow.
The CPS decided it wasn’t in the public interest to charge Taylor over the killing.
Crime drama buffs have a wide selection of choices on ITVX - here is a selection of some of the programmes available to binge.
The series is expected to average over 7 million viewers each episode.
Fans of the drama were left stunned after finding out the investigating officer of Cooper’s disappearance was Ram Sidhu (Phaldut Sharma), who viewers last saw back in season 4.
DCI Ram Sidhu was at the centre of the show’s drama as a murder suspect.
Although innocent of killing anyone, he was imprisoned for preventing a lawful burial, taking money for drugs and abusing his position as a police officer.
Sanjeev explained his character Sunny will always have negative feelings towards Ram as Cassie (Nicola Walker) was overworked and tired from her time on the case before her shocking death.
The sixth series featured a star cast including MyAnna Buring (The Witcher) and Jan Francis (Just Good Friends) and Damien Molony (Brassic).
Unforgotten season 6 is now showing on ITV1 and ITVX.
FOLLOWING a popular diet could slash your risk of several cancers linked to obesity, a study suggests.
Being overweight or obese can make you more likely to develop 13 different types of the disease, including bowel and liver cancer.
Following the Mediterranean diet may slightly lower the risk of these cancers, research published in JAMA Network Open showed.
It found people who stuck to the popular diet – which prioritises veggies, pulses, healthy fats and olive oil – had a 6 per cent lower risk of risk developing obesity-linked cancers.
Though sticking to healthy weight can boost your odds against cancer, researchers said the cancer-busting benefits of the Mediterranean diet seemed to extend beyond weight loss.
Responding to the findings, Professor Franklin Joseph, consultant physician in general internal medicine and head of Dr Frank’s clinic, told The Sun: “The Mediterranean diet isn’t just a way of eating – it’s a scientifically backed approach to long-term health.
“This latest study reinforces what we’ve known for years: a diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods can significantly lower the risk of obesity-related cancers.
“What’s particularly interesting is that these benefits exist independent of weight loss, suggesting that the nutrients in Mediterranean foods actively help protect against cancer at a cellular level.”
Researchers examined the diet and health information of over 450,000 participants aged 35 to 70 who lived in Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and
the UK.
Researchers noted the amount of vegetables, legumes, fruits,
nuts and seeds, dairy products, cereals, meat, fish and fats participants consumed, estimating their total calorie intake.
“This cohort study found that greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with a modestly reduced risk of 6 per cent of obesity-related cancer,” they wrote.
Specifically, the veggie-rich diet seemed to lower the risk of bowel, liver and kidney cancer.
Following a Mediterranean diet some of the time – what researchers described as “medium adherence” – was also associated with a slightly lower risk of disease.
This group of participants had a slightly lower risk of developing cancer of the oesophagus.
“Generally, we found a lower risk of incident obesity-related cancer for moderate intake of alcohol and lower meat consumption,” researchers said.
“Adherence to the Mediterranean diet has been linked with reduced [fat around the abdomen], lower BMI, and less weight gain,” they went.
This supported researchers’ theory that reduced cancer risk among Mediterranean diet followers may be linked to their BMI and waist-to-hip ratio.
“However, our findings suggest that the observed protective
association with obesity-related cancers may involve other mechanisms,” they noted.
Being overweight or obese is the second biggest cause of cancer in the UK, Cancer Research UK says.
If you are overweight you are more likely to get cancer than if you are a healthy weight.
Being overweight doesn’t mean that you’ll definitely develop cancer. But the risk is higher the more overweight you are and the longer you are overweight for.
Extra fat in the body doesn’t just sit there, it’s active and send out signals to the rest of your body.
These signals can tell cells in our body to divide more often, which can lead to cancer.
The signals released by fat cells can affect:
Cancer types linked to obesity

Study authors suggested the high fibre content of the diet may help counteract harmful cancerous compounds in processed meats.
People following the eating plan also tend to have lower blood sugar, cholesterol and levels of inflammation, they added.
Researchers concluded: “More studies are needed to better understand the mechanisms through which higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet might potentially reduce cancer risk.”
Previous research has linked the diet to a 23 per cent lower risk of early death.
The traditional Mediterranean diet is based on foods available in countries that border the Mediterranean sea.
It’s centred on plant-based foods and limits red meat, processed meats, and packaged foods.
Looking to make your meals a bit more Mediterranean?
Prof Joseph and Lucy Diamond, registered Dietitian and Clinical director for innovation at Oviva, spoke to The Sun about how you can go about doing that.
Prof Joseph said: “The Mediterranean diet is based on fresh, nutrient-dense ingredients packed with antioxidants, healthy fats, and fibre.”
Meanwhile, Lucy noted: “While this diet isn’t a guarantee against cancer, it’s a practical and enjoyable approach to eating that may offer some protection while supporting weight management goals and overall health.”
Here are a few essential ingredients to add to your shopping list:
Proj Joseph described olive oil as “the foundation of the diet”.
He said it’s “rich in monounsaturated fats and polyphenols that fight inflammation and oxidative stress”.
Lucy noted that olive oil should be your “primary fat source”.
“It’s delicious in salad dressings, for roasting veggies and for dipping bread.”
To eat the Mediterranean way, you should be looking to increase your intake of fatty fish.
This includes salmon, sardines, and mackerel provide omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties, support heart health and may help reduce cancer risk.
Chickpeas, lentils, and beans offer will give you a dose of protein without the need for meat.
They’re also packed with fibre, keeping digestion healthy and blood sugar stable.
At the same time, you should be aiming to reduce the amount of processed meat you eat – such as as sausages, bacon and salami, as well as red meat.
“Red meat and processed meats are consistently associated with an increased cancer risk,” Lucy noted.
“Make colourful vegetables the star of your plate,” Lucy said.
“Especially tomatoes, peppers, and leafy greens, which contain cancer-fighting antioxidants.”
Spinach, kale and aubergines are also full of vitamins and plant compounds that boost immunity, Prof Joseph added.
When adding a carby element to your plate, choose whole grain varieties like brown bread and whole wheat pasta, as they’ll provide more nutrients and fibre.
Bulgur wheat and brown rice will also give your a slow and steady release in energy and support gut health.
You should be aiming to eat 30g a day, whether that’s through beans, whole grains, fruit or veg.
For a healthy snack, choose nuts and seeds. A small handful should keep you satisfied, Lucy said.
“Almonds, walnuts, and flaxseeds are loaded with healthy fats, fibre, and antioxidants linked to lower inflammation,” Prof Joseph added.
Fresh fruits are another excellent snack to choose from, particularly berries, citrus fruit like oranges and pomegranates, which are packed with vitamin C and other protective compounds.
Season your meals with herbs and spices like rosemary, oregano, and garlic, as they contain beneficial phytonutrients.
You might want to add some fermented dairy to your diet too.
This includes Greek yoghurt and aged cheeses, which are packed with probiotics that support gut health and immunity.
You can enjoy a bit of red wine, as long as it’s in moderation.
“Rich in polyphenols like resveratrol, red wine may offer some protective benefits when enjoyed sensibly,” Prof Joseph said.
He said: “Eating well shouldn’t feel restrictive.
“The Mediterranean diet is about enjoying real, flavourful foods that nourish your body.
“Small changes – like swapping butter for olive oil or adding more vegetables to your plate – can have a lasting impact on your health.
“It’s a diet that’s as delicious as it is beneficial.”
DANI CEBALLOS has gone viral after pulling a bizarre facial expression on the Real Madrid bench.
