Manchester United’s new sports management does not rule out a fairly significant wave of player departures next summer.

For the moment, Erik ten Hag is very optimistic when we talk to him about the future. Facing the media, the Manchester United manager acts as if his place was not threatened despite the arrival of Ineos in the capital of the Premier League club, sixth in the ranking after his success obtained on Saturday at home against Everton (2-0) as part of the 28th day.

The local press does not broadcast the same feeling. According to Manchester Evening News, Sir Jim Ratcliffe intends to restructure the squad by starting by offloading a significant number of players. And in the mind of the English boss of the petrochemical group, also owner of OGC Nice, Erik ten Hag would be taken by the wave of departures planned for the next summer transfer window.

All lines affected

The French Raphaël Varane, 2018 world champion, appears in the list of undesirables, still according to Manchester Evening News. Alongside the French defender, we find Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelöf, Jonny Evans, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Sofyan Amrabat and even Scott McTominay!

Do you want more ? In the attacking department, the sports management now in the hands of Ratcliffe’s staff could say goodbye to Jadon Sancho, Mason Greenwood, Antony and Marcus Rashford who is still said to be closely followed by Paris Saint-Germain. The Frenchman Anthony Martial will not be extended.
