Manchester United has confirmed six first-team exits ahead of the transfer market opening, a good start to a much-needed summer clearout. As Erik ten Hag prepares to downsize the team for his first season as manager, the Red Devils could lose as many as ten senior players.
On June 30, Lee Grant, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard, and Edinson Cavani will all become free agents. United is said to be freeing up about £1 million in weekly salary by dumping the sextuplet.
Ten Hag's summer transfer budget will undoubtedly be boosted by such financial relief, which will be added to the current crop's wage deductions as a result of failing to qualify for the Champions League. With seven possible sales, United may be able to back the Dutchman even more.
Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe are expected to leave Old Trafford this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano. It adds to reports that Dean Henderson, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Phil Jones, and Anthony Martial will face similar fates, raising the possibility of a rematch.
After spending the 2021-22 season as David de Gea's backup, Henderson is set to quit United in pursuit of regular playing time. He's anticipated to go on loan, but the club could make at least £16 million if he's sold. Bailly and Tuanzebe are both valued at £7 million, but Jones will not be traded for more than £4 million.
Despite his stock sliding since his £50 million arrival in 2019, Wan-Bissaka would be United's showpiece sale. Crystal Palace is reported to be keen in bringing him back to Selhurst Park, and the M16 giants might recuperate roughly £27 million for his services.
United has told Wan-Bissaka that he isn't in Ten Hag's plans, and the same should be true for Martial,
After leaving on loan in January, he already has one foot out the door. The Red Devils could want to sell him for around £14 million.
Andreas Pereira will be given an opportunity to impress the Dutchman in pre-season after his permanent move to Flamengo fell through. However, if he leaves as predicted, United may raise an extra £7 million, bringing the total revenues raised from summer sales to £82 million.
It would almost certainly push Ten Hag's summer budget beyond the £200 million level, a significant sum to begin reconstructing a squad he found in shambles. However, United's commerce will almost probably bleed into August due to the sheer amount of players in the store window.
