The Manchester Evening News talked about Manchester United and Manchester City's summer window this year, saying that both Rashford and Gallish can be bought for 40 million pounds. Who could have thought of it a few years ago?

Manchester United and Manchester City both have some big-name players to be sold in the summer transfer window. A few years ago, the situations of these two wealthy families in Manchester City were very different.
At that time, under the leadership of Tenghach, Manchester United was on the surface in an upward period. Tenhach's first season coaching ended the team's trophy drought and finished third in the Premier League. There is reason to be optimistic as the Champions League is about to return to Old Trafford.
At the same time, Manchester City is firmly on the throne of the kings of England and Europe, and the title of world champion will soon follow. But things have changed a lot since then.
After being taken away from the Premier League title, Manchester City is in the process of a new round of lineup reconstruction. Guardiola's side is working to restore its dominance, but barely qualified for the Champions League and was eliminated by Riyadh Crescent in the Club World Cup.
and then Manchester United. Last season, he ranked 15th in the Premier League and missed the European game. The lineup was in chaos and needed to be rebuilt.
For both teams, the summer window is a critical period. Player transfers are equally important and transfers are also important, and the two clubs may be in direct competition.
Rashford and Gallish both performed well in the 22/23 season, with the former scoring 30 goals in a single season for the first time in his career, while Gallish played a key role in Manchester City's historic triple-winning journey. But since then, their value has plummeted and both may leave the team this summer.
Rashford has informed United that he wants to leave and City is looking for a buyer for Gallish. Although Rashford and Gallish are two players with very different characteristics, as strikers, they both require high salaries and their respective clubs will never be willing to let people out at a low price. Manchester United priced Rashford £40 million, and it is reported that the same £40 million is enough to sign Gralish this summer.
It was not easy to sell them, and few people had foreseeed Rashford and Gallish to be sold a few years ago. Both players need to find new owners this summer, but it's not easy.
