With only three weeks left in the transfer window, the future of Manchester United’s squad remains uncertain. After a disappointing 2023/24 season, the club aimed to make significant changes during the summer transfer window. However, due to budget constraints, the club has struggled to offload players and bring in new talent.
United has only managed to sell four players so far, despite plans for a squad exodus. The team is in desperate need of generating funds through player sales in order to sign a new centre-back, holding midfielder, and potentially other players as well. The net spend is currently around £50m, making it crucial for the club to make some sales in the coming weeks.
Players like Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Hannibal Mejbri, and Christian Eriksen, who have less than a year left on their contracts, should be a priority for United to sell. Wan-Bissaka has attracted interest from clubs like West Ham United and Inter Milan, while Hannibal is linked with a move to Rangers. Lindelof and Eriksen, on the other hand, have not received as much attention from potential suitors.
Scott McTominay and Facundo Pellistri are also in the final year of their contracts, with McTominay drawing interest from Fulham. United is open to letting him go for the right price, but no offers have been made yet. Pellistri, on the other hand, needs to secure a move to further his career, especially with Amad’s rapid development at the club.
While there are discussions about potentially selling Jadon Sancho and Casemiro, who are under longer contracts, the focus should be on offloading players with expiring contracts who do not fit into the long-term plans of the club. Time is running out for United to make these crucial sales and reshape their squad before the transfer window closes.
The club is in a race against time to balance the books and secure the necessary funds to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season. Fans will be eagerly watching to see how United navigates the remaining weeks of the transfer window and what changes will be made to the team.
