The current season has been disappointing for Manchester United, as they struggle to keep up in the race for Champions League qualification.
Currently, Erik ten Hag’s team sits in sixth place in the Premier League standings, trailing three points behind Tottenham Hotspur in fifth and eight points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa.
With the recent investment influx from British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, United fans are hopeful about the club’s future prospects. Ratcliffe and his team are set to take over football operations following the deal’s official confirmation last week.
Looking ahead to the summer transfer window, significant squad changes are anticipated. Reports from the Manchester Evening News suggest that United is considering selling up to ten players during the transfer window.
Players like Aaron Wan Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, and Facundo Pellistri, who have contracts with less than a year remaining, are potential departures. Mason Greenwood, currently on loan at Getafe, has attracted interest from Barcelona, with United reportedly setting an asking price for him.
Midfielder Casemiro’s future is uncertain, with rumors linking him to a move to the Middle East after a disappointing season. Loaned-out players like Jadon Sancho, Donny van de Beek, Hannibal Mejbri, and Alvaro Fernandez face uncertain futures at Old Trafford.
The fate of forward Marcus Rashford is also uncertain amid a lackluster season, potentially leading United to consider parting ways with him.
In addition to the mentioned players, Raphael Varane, Anthony Martial, and Tom Heaton are expected to leave when their contracts expire at the end of the season.
Overall, Manchester United seems set for a significant squad overhaul in the upcoming transfer window as they aim to refresh their roster and strengthen their competitiveness in both domestic and European competitions.
