Manchester United are planning a mass overhaul this summer, with the squad needing huge improvements to have a better Premier League campaign next season.
The Red Devils currently sit in 14th place and are desperate to win the Europa League, facing Lyon tomorrow evening to save Champions League football for next year.
However, Ruben Amorim’s side has been plagued with consistent issues, including injuries, Andre Onana’s problematic goalkeeping and inconsistent and ineffective attacking play.
The squad are relying on Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund as their only strikers, with neither being a reliable goalscorer to the quality that United need.
Unfortunately though for Amorim, the club are also facing significant financial hardships, meaning some major sales will need to take place first to generate funds for new signings.
Now, GiveMeSport has reported three first-team stars that United are looking to offload this summer in a bid to grab new talent.

Manchester United look to sell three key players this summer
Firstly, as everyone expects, is Andre Onana. The Red Devils have already shortlisted four stars who they see as upgrades to the Cameroon international.
This shortlist includes Parma star Zion Suzuki, AC Milan’s Mike Maignan, Brighton’s goalie Bart Verbruggen and Porto shot-stopper Diogo Costa.
However Onana isn’t the only big name looking to be sold. Alongside him is the attacking duo of Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund.
Whilst Amorim now believes that Joshua Zirkzee has the ability to develop into a top striker for his side, wanting to keep him at Old Trafford, the same can’t be said about Hojlund.
The Red Devils are looking to cash in on interest from Napoli and Juventus, with a price tag of £51 million for the unwanted striker, whilst they’re also hoping for the same fee for Garnacho.
The sale of the attacking pair would free up a total of £135,000 per week in wages, with Garnacho’s transfer fee going down as pure profit as a product of the academy.
Not only would the £100 million in transfer fees for the pair create funds to sign new players, but it would also significantly reduce the staring on the club’s wage bill.
