Manchester United are preparing for a major summer clear-out as they scramble to avoid Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) sanctions, with several high-profile names potentially heading for the exit.
Who's on the Chopping Block?
The Red Devils are reportedly willing to listen to offers for:
- Casemiro - The Brazilian midfielder could be sold after just two seasons at Old Trafford
- Jadon Sancho - Still frozen out after his public fallout with Erik ten Hag
- Victor Lindelöf - The Swedish defender faces an uncertain future
- Christian Eriksen - Could be moved on after limited playing time
The Financial Pressure Cooker
With the Premier League's June 30 accounting deadline looming, United need to raise significant funds to avoid potential points deductions that have hit rivals like Everton and Nottingham Forest. The club's failure to qualify for Champions League football has further tightened the financial screws.
Sancho's Stalemate Continues
Jadon Sancho's situation remains particularly contentious. The £73m winger appears no closer to reconciling with Ten Hag after spending the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund. United would reportedly accept a substantial loss on their initial investment to move him on permanently.
Midfield Reshuffle
Casemiro's potential departure would signal a major shift in United's midfield strategy. While the 32-year-old was instrumental in their 2022-23 campaign, his form dipped last season, and United may look to cash in while they can still command a fee for the former Real Madrid star.
With INEOS now overseeing football operations, this summer promises to be one of significant change at Old Trafford as they attempt to balance the books while rebuilding a squad that finished eighth last season - their worst Premier League finish.
