Manchester United co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, wants to offload as many as seven more senior players this summer as the club continues its rebuild.
Ratcliffe’s stake in the Premier League club was ratified shortly after the January transfer window.
It means this summer is his first opportunity to add new signings.
The billionaire is working on transfers with CEO Omar Berrada, technical director Jason Wilcox and sporting director Dan Ashworth.
Two deals have been wrapped up already, with Joshua Zirkzee completing a £36.5million move from Bologna. Leny Yoro followed in a move from Lille worth an initial £52m.
United have also offloaded some high earners, releasing Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial and selling Mason Greenwood to Marseille.
However, those three might not be the last to leave.
ESPN reports that Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelöf, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen are all out of contract in the summer, and the Red Devils are prepared to listen to offers for all five.
Casemiro, who joined United from Real Madrid in 2022, is another who could be made available amid reported interest from Saudi Arabia.
The seventh player who could move on is Antony. The Brazilian joined in the same window as Casemiro but United reportedly looked into a permanent sale earlier this year, while it now appears they will entertain a loan if a team is prepared to cover his wages.
