Manchester United are reportedly willing to sell the majority of their squad this summer, with just three players off limits, according to sources cited by the UK Telegraph.
The club’s upcoming restructuring will see co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and incoming CEO Omar Berrada take the helm from the 2024/2025 season onward.
This leadership transition is expected to usher in a new era of decision-making at the club, marked by a willingness to make significant changes to the playing staff.
A primary catalyst for this potential overhaul is the financial constraints imposed by the Premier League’s spending regulations.
With United failing to secure Champions League football for the upcoming season, the club’s ability to invest in new talent is likely to be limited.
The absence of Champions League football not only impacts the club’s revenue streams but also complicates the future of many players, as well as the tenure of embattled manager Erik ten Hag, whose position remains uncertain.
Agents and recruitment officials from rival clubs reportedly perceive United’s new regime as open-minded regarding player sales, indicating a willingness to consider offers for a wide range of squad members.
While specific details of the players deemed ‘off-limits’ are yet to be disclosed, it’s understood that only three individuals have been identified as integral to the club’s future plans.
