What happened. Manchester United are intensifying efforts to monetise their academy, with a strategy to sell young players who won't make the first team, following the example of Manchester City and Chelsea.

• Vitek's deal includes a buy-back clause and 35% sell-on.
• Amass, 19, spent last season on loan at Sheffield Wednesday.
• United expect more fixtures this season, offering fringe players chances.

United aim to generate funds while still prioritizing first-team production from their academy.
