Mark Ogden in ESPN has written a longer case about the upcoming summer window, which may offer several changes in the Manchester United squad.
Who eventually comes in, however, will probably depend on who disappears.
Raphael Varane is on an expiring contract, and Ogden writes that the Frenchman will disappear as a “free agent”. The same will Anthony Martial.
The two of them alone will reportedly free up around £450,000 in weekly wages.
Christian Eriksen has a year left on his contract and is attracting interest from Turkey, and could be another man on the way out.
In addition, can Victor Lindelöf, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Scott McTominay and Harry Maguirewho all also have a year left on their current contract, disappear if acceptable offers come in, if they do not choose to agree to new deals with worse terms.
When it comes to Casemiro should there still be interest from Saudi Arabia, while the club will also listen to offers for loanees Jadon Sancho, Donny van de Beek and Mason Greenwood.
Marcus Rashford is one that has been written about a lot lately, but it should be of little interest to the Englishman.
PSG has been mentioned several times, but this should be nothing more than pure speculation. The French club would rather want to replace Kylian Mbappé with AC Milan’s Rafael Leão.
Ogden writes that it is unlikely that United will be able to have a net spend of more than £100 million anyway.
Another challenge United may face is finding other clubs that can and want to pay for highly paid players, and that the most likely destinations to sell players are Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
