With the January transfer window only a matter of weeks away, Manchester United are currently at risk of losing several stars to free transfers such as Amad Diallo, Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof.
With six players set to see their contracts end in the summer, they are eligible to enter pre-contract agreements with other clubs in January to line up their next team.
At the moment, Tom Heaton, Cristian Eriksen and Jonny Evans join Maguire, Lindelof and Diallo as the six set to see their United contracts end next year.

Manchester United’s stars in final months of contract
We already know that Amad is currently in negotiations to extend his contract, with Ruben Amorim seeing him as a key part of his long-term plans at Old Trafford. Needless to say, his vital input to the 2-1 win over Manchester City this weekend will have certainly helped his cause.
On the other side of things, Lindelof is at the heart of a transfer race between Newcastle and West Ham, with the centre-back almost certain to leave the club next year.
Equally expected to leave, Eriksen has not featured for Amorim for some time, seemingly lacking the intensity that the Portuguese manager is looking for on the pitch.
Then there’s Evans and Heaton who both signed on in the summer on a one-year contract, with no news on their future past the summer.
However, Maguire has now confirmed that he has finally begun negotiations on extending his current contract.
Manchester United discuss extending contract for Harry Maguire
Jeremy Cross has revealed that the negotiations are going well, commenting: “I haven’t really thought about it. I’ve still got this year to go, with an option in their hands.”
Maguire added: “But, yeah, talks are ongoing and all the signs are positive at the moment. The chat that I’m having is really positive.”
After a strong showing against Manchester City in United’s 2-1 win at the Etihad, Maguire is showing Ruben Amorim why he deserves a slot in his back three going forward.
