I would sell every single player in the squad for £100m. I would be hesitant to sell Martinez and Garnacho, but not the rest.
Any player in our squad you won’t sell for 100m?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Come on. Be realistic here. We can't sell
Garnacho, Rashford or Bruno.
Because I wouldn’t truth ETH / the club to replace them sensibly.

Garnacho hasn't shown anything like enough to be valued at that much. He could easily become a mediocre senior player. Would certainly sell him for that amount.
Rashford would command that sort of fee, and I wouldn't sell.

And then you look at how many minutes they played each. Why are you even arguing this? De Bruyne is one of the best midfielders ever in PL. Bruno is so far from that.
Bruno and Rashford.
£100m is good money for them as they have flaws but with that money you'll get nothing nowadays. 2 years ago yeah they're sold. But you get a kid with 10 Serie A goals for £60m these days so..

And me all 25 if it was June and had the 2.5 bill to replace the lot.
Rashford, Garnacho, Bruno. Onana is too new to judge so I wouldn't sell him.
That's true but I'd say you have to factor in how we spend about 20-50% more than we should. I wouldn't sell Sancho for less than 80m even though I think thats a good deal, just because I know that when the club tried to replace him, they'd spend all that on a player worth significantly less.
Nobody. Many of them, including Bruno and Rashford, I’d sell for a lot less.
There is nobody in our squad that would even be valued at 100M, let alone –– we should not sell for such money. Our fans are too sentimental, but look at the reality - nobody wants our players, nobody. The prices we have gotten for the ones we were even able to sell are a joke and the rest - there's no competition to sign the likes of Maguire, McTominey, Donny, Williams, or Hendo. Henderson thought he was better than De Gea and literally nobody wants to buy him. What a shitshow.
Now, you can blame SOME of the low price on the club and its abysmal negotiation skills, but the lack of interest is not on the club. Man United is not the agent of these players, they have agents. It's the job of those agents to bring interested parties and it's the job of the players to be interesting. They are not. Even EPL lower half teams, even teams from other leagues are not lining up for our players.
It's not going to be the same for Rashford or Bruno, but if you think somebody will offer 100M for them when they are painfully unable to find the back of the net –– keep on dreaming?

They can all go for £80m or less.
Bruno and Rashford are the two most valuable squad members.
Could either be replaced with 100m? Yes, if we look at the Bellingham fee.
Could either be replaced with 100m? Yes, if we look at the Bellingham fee.
So far, Antony or Sancho are not living up to the fee we paid which proves spending big does not guarantee results. We can't even flog Maguire for 30m after spending 80 on him 3 years ago.
Bruno was consistently class in his first 1 1/2 seasons. Not so much since. At least not to the point I wouldn't accept 100m. I get everyone has their favorites but when teams like Dortmund or Brighton consistently buy players on the cheap and flip them for 50-100m a season or two later, don't you think United could sign those same players and turn them into super stars? We need to get out of the mindset that buying a 80m player equals instance success. The same goes for selling. Ronaldo is the last player we sold that a top team wanted. I'm not saying we need to become a farm team but if another team is putting 100m on the table for anyone in the current squad, yeah, I'm selling.
Bruno and Rashford are the obvious choices but given that a decent replacement for any position will likely cost over 50m and probably closer to 80m 100m doesn't really seem that appealing, if the question were are there any it's players you would not swap for another player it would probably be a truer measure
No. No one in our squad is worth that much.
Rashford is the only one tbh. He is the most valuable English player right now and that’s not generally dictated by true ability. He will cost considerably more than just £100m and whatever that true valuation is, if matched. He is sellable and replaceable, the club can benefit from losing a very one dimensional player.
I can’t obsess with one player in a team sport like football, this is not tennis doubles we are talking about but 11 guys curated to function as a unit.

100m is too much. Can’t think of anyone to be honest. Maybe only Martinez.
If Rashfords all round game was great then I’d agree but it’s not so I’d take the money.
I know you said the value is not dictated by fee but for me Saka and obviously Kane among the English attackers are better than him. Like Saka’s general play isn’t just better than Rashfords, it’s miles better.
I don’t think I would be hesitant to sell any player at the club tbh and that says a lot but to have the trust in the club to replace them properly is another issue.
but also nobody in our squad even at their best would be able to get a fee like that anyway.

Rashford is significantly more marketable than Saka.
And if the Saudi example of chasing past-their-peak galacticos but rejecting Greenwood tells us anything, it's that marketability is valuable.
Marcus would fetch well over £100m. If for no other reason than he's the face of arguably the biggest sports franchise in the world.
The fact he's main man carrying the torch for United's 86 year unbroken history of youth players in the first team squad is also not something we can ignore. There's no way the club would cut those ties for anything close to fair value.
I do agree that he's a notch below the truly elite footballers, though.

None of them worth 100M
Bruno : fails at the basic we will never build a functioning team with him on the Squad
Rashford : too situational but lacking the basics ( drive, movement oft the ball, pressing)
We can afford one of them but 2 of them on the pitch is a bit hole in the pressing game.
The rest... Meh... Even Casemiro I'd sell for 100M. His legs is almost gone he can't cover the midfield alone we'd be better with 2x 50M midfielder.

Rashford, Onana, Bruno, Martinez and Garnacho.
Why aren’t any of the Saudi teams offering us stupid money for any of our players? If any of them offered 100m for any of the players I would take it, I don’t think we have anyone worthy of that amount.
If I felt like our club would invest the money like Brighton or someone like that, then I'd take 120 million for any player in the squad
But most likely we'd spend 100 million on a 60 million player so I dont think us getting 100 million for a player means we'll come out ahead

Rashford the player, not worth it to you.
Rashford the United personality, yes.
Martinez possibly.

Damning considering our squad outlay over the last decade. Spend big, sell low and here we are, willing to sell anyone for 100m.
Pathetic

My thoughts exactly, and maybe also Shaw. I’d take £100m for anyone bar those players in a heartbeat.
Depends on if I get the 100 mill? If I did nobody is safe.
Garnacho because I'll always have a soft spot for a young, rapid, exciting winger, at least unless I feel like they're not up to it 
Lisandro as well because he is quality and I really like him.

There's a difference between looking at each player individually and deciding which of them you'd value at less than 100m, and being happy to sell any of those players if a 100m offer comes in. It can seriously disrupt your project.
Have people seen how we spend money in recent years? Backing United to upgrade within £100m is a tall order.
Both Saka and Kane are brilliant players but they don’t play for Manchester United.
I'd sell any of them for that.
Onana and Martinez are the two I think are possibly worth that much. The rest are nowhere near.

Any bid for Rashford would be rejected. I'd imagine no United manager would be allowed to sell him even if he wanted to and Rashford probably isn't terribly interested in doing it anyways.
Imagine United selling anyone for £100m! We could sell 10-15 first team squad players and not get £100m.
Rashford and Bruno.
Rashford.
United cannot replace him for less than 100 million. There are not many good forwards in world football atm. Only realistic one for United is Osimhen for 150-200 million euros.
