Manchester United appears to be gearing up for a major overhaul this summer, with reports from The Telegraph suggesting that almost all players could be on their way out of Old Trafford. The club’s new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, seems keen on building the team’s future around young talents Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Højlund.
The decision to offload players is driven by the club’s failure to secure Champions League qualification for the next season, coupled with the underwhelming outcomes despite substantial spending in recent transfer windows, totaling €650 million.
Among those set to depart are French duo Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial, whose contracts are expiring and will not be renewed. Additionally, Brandon Williams, currently on loan at Ipswich, is unlikely to return to the team.

The club is reportedly open to offers for Mason Greenwood, Jadon Sancho, Anthony, and Casemiro, with interest in the latter coming from wealthy clubs in Saudi Arabia. Marcus Rashford could also be sold if enticing offers are made for the English forward.
The future of manager Erik ten Hag and most of the reports suggest he will not be on the bench for Manchester United next season.
