Man Utd could lose 13 players this summer in club's most ruthless transfer window yet

Manchester United are ready to let 13 players leave the club this summer in one of their most transformative transfer windows in the modern era.

United are currently third in the Premier League table and are hoping to qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 2023.

A 1-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend leaves Michael Carrick's side needing six points from their final five games to guarantee a top-five spot.

It's a remarkable turnaround, given their form and overall mood around Carrington under previous manager Ruben Amorim.

Once European football is secured, all attention will turn to the summer transfer window and how the Red Devils strengthen. United will end this campaign having played only 40 games, their lowest total this century.

A bigger squad will be required to cope with the demands of more games. However, INEOS are aware that outgoings are as important as incomings when it comes to balancing the books.

Per The Express, United will let 13 players currently on the books seek pastures new.

United's potential exits

Casemiro has already confirmed he'll be departing when his contract expires at the end of the season, with Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho expected to do the same.

Casemiro and Sancho, who is currently on loan at Aston Villa, both earn £300,000-per-week and are among United's top earners. United are keen to move on Marcus Rashford for the same reason, with Barcelona holding an option to make his loan move permanent.

On the other hand, Rasmus Hojlund's time at Old Trafford will come to a close, with Napoli's obligation to buy a 'formality' at this stage.

Senne Lammens' arrival last summer allowed Andre Onana to leave on loan and benched Altay Bayindir, despite him starting the first six Premier League games of the campaign.

Both men are expected to exit, while academy graduate Radek Vitek is expected to seek more consistent gametime after a promising spell on loan with Championship outfit Bristol City.

Joshua Zirkzee and Manuel Ugarte, both signed by INEOS in 2024, have slipped down the pecking order this term and have proven to be unpopular with the fanbase. Since their arrival, INEOS have endeavoured to give new transfers two years to prove themselves, and both men have failed to impress.

Toby Collyer has spent the second half of the season on loan with Hull City and has attracted interest from Championship clubs previously.

Academy graduates Tyler Fredricson and Dan Gore are expected to continue their careers away from United. Fredricson made his debut under Amroim in 2025, while Gore hasn't played since 2023.
