Before adding more new players, Man Utd wants to get rid of a few fringe players. In addition to the already banked Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee, Erik ten Hag’s team is also looking to sign Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs De Ligt, and Manuel Ugarte.
All three of those players have agreed to personal terms. Sixth season options on five-year contracts with club options are available for signing.
But first, United wants to move players into the necessary positions before they can finalize any of those deals.
The departure of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who is in talks to join West Ham, would make room for Mazraoui, a fellow right-back from Bayern Munich.
Before De Ligt arrives, Sky Sports has repeatedly said that Victor Lindelof is being cut. This is true even though Willy Kambwala (Villarreal – £9.6 million) and Raphael Varane (Como – free agent) have already left.
United is willing to let go of one or more of Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, and Scott McTominay in exchange for Ugarte.
Selling McTominay is expected to yield the biggest return for United. The Red Devils are expecting to receive a windfall of nearly £30 million, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Furthermore, the club would make a tidy profit from McTominay’s sale as he is a homegrown player.
