Manchester United set to sell 10 players in the summer

Manchester United are in desperate need of a rebuild under Ruben Amorim.

Despite spending over £600 million under Erik ten Hag, the squad still lacks quality, depth, and balance.

United have fallen behind their rivals in the league, and need a clearer identity to compete at the highest level.

Amorim’s system demands a specific profile of player to execute his tactical vision.

His preferred approach relies on fluid attacking movement, high pressing, and positional discipline.

Several players currently in the squad do not fit these demands and could be moved on.

To balance the squad and create space for reinforcements, United will need to offload players.

According to Samuel Luckhurst of the Manchester Evening News, at least 10 permanent departures are expected.

Veterans Jonny Evans and Tom Heaton are likely to retire at the end of the season.

Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof are set to be released as part of the squad revamp.

United want to sell Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Jadon Sancho to reinvest in a new goalscorer.

Casemiro is also expected to be made available for transfer after struggling this season.

Chelsea have an obligation to buy Sancho for between £20-25 million but could pay a penalty to avoid the deal.

Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) will influence United’s sales this summer.

Casemiro, signed for £60 million on a four-year deal, would need to be sold for at least £15 million according to Luckhurst’s report.

Antony, who cost £81.3 million and signed a five-year contract, has a minimum valuation of £32.52 million.

Sancho’s value under the same amortisation rules would stand at £14.58 million if United retain him.

More exits on the cards as Red Devils aim for another rebuild

Altay Bayindir’s future is uncertain as he seeks regular football ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Amorim is keen to bring in a new goalkeeper, which could push Bayindir out the door.

PSV Eindhoven have an option to sign left-back Tyrell Malacia on a permanent basis.

Luke Shaw’s persistent injury struggles could make it difficult for Manchester United to move him on.

Evans, 37, has not started for the club in four months and last played in December.

Heaton, turning 39 next month, has been sidelined since early February due to injury.

Speculation remains over the futures of Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho.

Mainoo has yet to sign a contract renewal, but his current deal runs until 2028.

Garnacho was the subject of a £40 million offer from Napoli in January, which United rejected.

Squad decisions to be made moving forward

Joshua Zirkzee’s long-term future remains unclear after being used in a deeper role.

Rasmus Hojlund has struggled for consistency but is still viewed as a key part of the squad.

United currently have a negative goal difference in the Premier League, highlighting their issues.

Mason Mount has played just 33 times out of a possible 98 since joining from Chelsea.

However, Amorim believes Mount could fit into his 3-4-2-1 system if given a defined role.

Senior departures could be supplemented by sales from United’s academy.

Amorim has stressed the need for United to generate more revenue from homegrown talents.

Manchester United made £109.18 million in player sales last summer, with academy graduates leading the way.

Andreas Pereira, James Garner, Anthony Elanga, Dean Henderson, Mason Greenwood, and Scott McTominay have been among the biggest sales.

A major clear-out is coming as United look to reshape the squad for the new era.
