It was almost a year ago. At the end of one of the worst seasons in its history, Manchester United seemed to want to change everything. The English media then announced a total sale of the squad. This is obviously not what happened, even if several elements left Old Trafford, often on loan rather than permanently. On Saturday, the Daily Express did it again.
He thus affirmed that Manchester United could lose thirteen players from its squad this summer. In question, INEOS’s desire to find some liquidity and reduce the payroll. Casemiro’s departure is confirmed. Highest paid player, the former Real Madrid midfielder will give some breathing room to Mancunian finances. The case of Marcus Rashford also looms large.
Loaned this season to FC Barcelona, ​​the England international could return to the club if Barça does not exercise its purchase option. Still in the offensive sector, Rasmus Hojlund, a huge flop for United, found some color during his loan to Napoli. The Daily Express indicated that the Italian club should exercise the purchase option of around 44 million euros. The player joined Manchester for nearly 80 million euros.

Another flop, Jadon Sancho was loaned to Aston Villa, but without option or obligation to buy. Bought for €85 million from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, he will leave United free this summer at the end of his contract. Tyrell Malacia should also be pushed out, just like André Onana who has never managed to fully establish himself with the Red Devils. Another goalkeeper, Radek Vitek will have an exit ticket, crossed out by Senne Lammens. Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir could also seek playing time elsewhere.
Regular substitute, Joshua Zirkzee has had enough of his status and could ask to leave. Same thing for the former PSG, Manuel Ugarte. Finally, three players from the training center, namely Toby Collyer, Dan Gore and Tyler Fredricson, should leave to find more playing time.
