Manchester United are on the right track now with Michael Carrick at the helm, fighting for the Champions League places, and if they can offload unwanted first team players who are underperforming and cash in on a variety of loanees with no future at the club, they could be in business with more big signings this summer.
According to information from ESPN FC, a total of 10 players could be leaving Manchester United this summer. Rasmus Hojlund is almost certain to stay with Napoli permanently after a successful loan spell, and the same can be said for Marcus Rashford at Barcelona. So that rules out two right off the bat.
Goalkeepers Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir were horrendous for Manchester United and are obvious exit candidates, likely to the Turkish Super Lig. Joshua Zirkzee, Mason Mount, Jadon Sancho, and Manuel Ugarte have all failed to kick on at Old Trafford for a variety of reasons and are obvious sale candidates if Man United can find legitimate buyers.
Finally, Tyrell Malacia is hitting free agency and is a nightmare the Red Devils will want to be rid of shortly. Casemiro is another impending free agent, and while Manchester United will want to keep a veteran who has remained one of the Premier League’s best midfielders this season, with him getting older, his wage demands may be what preclude him from staying.
