Manchester United are likely to allow five first team players to leave the club this summer, according to a new report.
United ended their Premier League campaign on Sunday with a 2-1 win over Fulham, ensuring they finished in third place in the table.
They will contest the FA Cup final against Manchester City this weekend, and won the Carabao Cup by beating Newcastle at Wembley in February.
Manager Erik ten Hag has had a successful first campaign in charge, but there have been blips and areas to improve.
He made tough decisions in both transfer windows, allowing fringe players to leave on loan while bringing in experienced stars such as Marcel Sabitzer, Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen.

They are expected to do more business again this summer. The Athletic report that United will have a transfer budget of £100 million, and they are keen to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham and Mason Mount from Chelsea.
With incomings, however, there will have to be outgoings - and Ten Hag is reportedly set to allow five first team players to depart.
Man Utd 'likely to transfer list five players'
According to the Manchester Evening News, United will listen to offers for club captain Harry Maguire.
The 30-year-old started against Fulham in what could be his last game for the club, having struggled for game time throughout this season.
Anthony Martial is also said to be likely to be made available for transfer. The Sun claimed earlier this month that United had 'run of patience' with the French striker, and he has been affected by injuries this term.
Two other players expected to leave are Eric Bailly and Alex Telles, who are currently on loan at Marseille and Sevilla respectively.
There were reports that Bailly had an obligation to buy clause contained within his Marseille contract if he played 50 per cent of their Ligue 1 games. However, the 29-year-old Ivory Coast international will not meet that target.
The final player likely to be transfer listed is left-back Brandon Williams. The 22-year-old, who came through United's academy, hasn't made a single Premier League appearance this season, although has been a regular in the matchday squad since the beginning of April.
