Manchester United have improved a lot under Erik Ten Hag and their rebuilding is likely to continue this summer. There are a lot of underperforming players this season and they could be loaned out or sold out. Let's take a look at some of Manchester United's most valuable players who could leave the club this summer.
The €57.5m-valued Jadon Sancho is having a hard time getting into the starting lineup under Erik Ten Hag. The England striker could be on loan next season and that's because Garnacho has been impressive and could make more appearances next season. The best option would be to send Sancho back to Dortmund on a long-term loan deal to help him regain his form.
However, Harry Maguire's mistake cost Manchester United the European Championship and key points in the Premier League this season. The upcoming summer transfer window could be the best time to sell the English midfielder. Considering that he has been signed for a hefty fee, the best option is to loan him out as teams may also be reluctant to sign him due to his untenable form. Since Martial's return from loan from Sevilla, he has struggled with injuries and struggled to find his place in the squad. The French striker has a market value of 31.1 million euros that could be sold this summer to facilitate the signing of a new striker.
Furthermore, Erik Ten Hag has proven he can be trusted with Manchester United and can therefore allow more players to leave this summer during the rebuilding process. Players like Elanga, Telles, Van De Beek and Henderson could be loaned out this summer.

Al Nasr's Cristiano Ronaldo
A Man Utd star with no future at Old Trafford is being targeted by Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr, although a move to a Turkish giant is a possibility, according to a report.
The Manchester Evening News recently reported that Man Utd could reduce up to 10 first-team stars this summer. Several types of releases are planned, with releases likely to come from all parts of Erik ten Hag's team.
Among those cited by the article's author, Samuel Luckhurst, was forgotten left-back Alex Telles.
The 30-year-old is currently on loan at Sevilla but has lost his role at left-back to Argentina international Marcos Acuna. Sevilla have not yet negotiated an option to buy back Telles' loan. However, Football Espana have reported that Sevilla could make a permanent move from scratch if they are willing to shell out just 10 million euros (about £8.8 million).
Man Utd's modest valuation is partly due to Telles' age, but also because the Brazilian is no longer needed at Old Trafford. The fact that his contract expires at the end of next season further weakens Man Utd's bargaining position. Luke Shaw remains a key player in Ten Hag's plans, while summer signing Tyrell Malacia provides full support.
As such, Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Telles will return to Manchester this summer, but it may not be for long.
“I understand that there is no purchase option in the contract,” Romano said via his YouTube channel in March. “So he will return to Man Utd at the end of the season.
"Currently, Sevilla has no intention of making an offer to sign Telles permanently. “Man Utd are said to be looking for a new option for him as Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are two very good players highly rated by Ten Hag.
"Telles' future may be at another club, but let's go back to Man Utd first and then a new potential solution."
Now, a new update from the Spanish store AS details two potential exits for the Telles.
Telles could join Ronaldo at Al Nassr
The first is to join the Saudi team Al Nassr, which attracts star Cristiano Ronaldo.
The United States and Portugal legend has scored 12 of 12 Saudi Pro League goals since his big break at the start of the year.
AS confirmed Telles could reunite with Ronaldo in the Middle East after Al Nassr showed interest in the player. They are said to be 'ready to cover' his salary, presumably meaning Telles will not have to accept a pay cut for what he currently earns in the UK.
Whether they are willing to pay the transfer fee has not yet been indicated. However, as Football Espana previously noted, Telles will not be asking for a large sum of money anyway.
One thing Telles must consider carefully before giving the green light to a move to Saudi Arabia is how it might affect his international ambitions.
Indeed, Telles was included in Brazil's most recent squad for a friendly against Morocco in March. It is admitted that a move to a 'minor league' in the form of Saudi Arabia's top flight could upset Brazil's interim boss, Ramon Menezes.
As such, staying in Europe is still a possibility and the idea of ??joining former club Galatasaray is floating around.
Telles was on the books of the Turkish powerhouse from 2014 to 2016 and that return was described by AS as "possible".
