- Man United are preparing to overhaul their squad in the summer window
- The number of players he could leave Old Trafford could reach double figures
- LISTEN NOW: It's All Kicking Off! Is England's squad good enough to win the World Cup?
Manchester United are reportedly preparing for a huge clear-out this summer with at least 10 departures on the cards.
It is no secret that the club's new ownership and manager Ruben Amorim are looking to overhaul the squad after another desperately disappointing campaign.
The Manchester Evening News claim United are looking to permanently sell the trio of Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho .
All three players are currently on loan at other clubs after falling out of favour at Old Trafford.
And the revenue generated from these sales will go toward bringing aboard a new accomplished goalscorer.
Since joining Villa on loan back in January, Rashford has put in some impressive performances, but it appears that irreparable harm has been done to his prospects at the club following an open dispute with Amorim.
Chelsea are required to purchase Sancho for between £20 million and £25 million, however it has come to light that they might provide United with £5 million as compensation to circumvent this agreement.
Antony has experienced something of a career resurgence since moving to Real Betis, yet it seems unlikely he will have another chance to return as well.
The experienced midfielder Casemiro may also be put on the market as United aims to generate funds for acquiring new players.
Veteran players Jonny Evans and Tom Heaton are anticipated to confirm their retirement following the conclusion of this season, whereas Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof are due for release.
It is thought that the Red Devils are looking for a new winger as several players with offensive skills are expected to leave.
If Manchester United fails to secure a spot in European football, they might take this opportunity to reduce the size of their roster, since qualifying for either the Europa League or the Champions League ensures an additional minimum of eight matches per season.
The future of goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is also up in the air as the Turkish stopper could seek more football in order to improve his chances of playing at next year's World Cup.
PSV also have the option to secure left-back Tyrell Malicia permanently, whereas the club might consider selling Luke Shaw if they manage to locate a buyer due to his persistent injury issues.
Speaking earlier this month, Amorim admitted some United players are already aware that their time at the club is coming to an end.
He stated: "Everyone gets that in football, at times you remain, and at other times, you must depart. Should I comprehend this well enough to articulate it, I'll make sure to clarify since clarity is something I value."
I have been an actor and I enjoy applying those experiences—when you're truthful with somebody, they can handle it. Initially, it might be challenging, but eventually, they'll grasp the situation.
I am very upfront with my players, and occasionally they realise that they might need to find new teams once the season concludes.
We can discuss that at the conclusion — for now, many games remain to be played. However, this is straightforward and not a complicated scenario.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe named six big-money Man United signings that are either 'not good enough or overpaid' in an interview with Gary Neville recently.
Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, Antony, Rasmus Hojlund, Lisandro Martinez and Andre Onana were all outed by the Ineos owner as he laid bare the club’s overspending on players in recent years.
Ratcliffe said: ‘This summer, we will ‘buy’ Antony, we’ll ‘buy’ Sancho, we’ll ‘buy’ Casemiro, we’ll ‘buy’ Martínez, we’ll ‘buy’ Hojlund, we’ll ‘buy’ Onana, and they’re all about £17m each. If we buy nobody we’re buying those players. It’s not a light switch (that can be turned off).
‘These are all things from the past, whether we like it or not, we've inherited those things and have to sort that out.
‘For Sancho, who now plays for Chelsea and we pay half his wages, we're paying £17m to buy him in the summer.
‘Some are not good enough and some probably are overpaid, but for us to mould the squad that we are fully responsible for, and accountable for, will take time.
‘It takes time for us to move away from the past into a new place in the future. We've got this period of transformation where we move from the past to the future.
‘There are some great players in the squad as we know, the captain is a fabulous footballer. We definitely need Bruno (Fernandes), he's a fantastic footballer.’
