Manchester United are preparing for a major squad overhaul this summer, with up to 13 players potentially leaving Old Trafford. The club's hierarchy, led by INEOS, is planning a significant clear-out as they look to reshape the squad under a new permanent manager.
Among the high-profile departures is Casemiro, who will leave upon the expiry of his contract. United are also keen to offload Marcus Rashford, who earns £300,000 per week, though Barcelona's interest in a permanent £26million move has reportedly cooled. Other players currently on loan, such as Rasmus Hojlund, Jadon Sancho and Andre Onana, are expected to sever ties permanently.
The potential exit list also includes Joshua Zirkzee, Manuel Ugarte, Tyrell Malacia, and goalkeepers Radek Vitek and Altay Bayindir. Academy products Tyler Fredricson, Toby Collyer and Dan Gore could also move on.
Meanwhile, former United winger Antony has described his departure from the club as the best decision of his life. The Brazilian, who joined Real Betis permanently last summer after a successful loan, has thrived at his new club, scoring 13 goals and providing nine assists this season. Antony told ESPN Brazil: 'It was one of the best decisions of my life to stay at Betis. I am very happy.'
On the managerial front, interim boss Michael Carrick has impressed since taking over from Ruben Amorim, guiding United to the brink of Champions League qualification. Former United striker Teddy Sheringham has urged the club to give Carrick the job permanently, telling talkSPORT: 'I'd be very disappointed in Man United if they didn't give Michael Carrick the job.' However, a final decision is expected at the end of the season, with Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann reportedly on the club's radar.
