Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester United can raise another £100m in transfer fees by selling Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire, Anthony Martial and Anthony Elanga this summer.
Erik ten Hag is eager to make key additions to his squad this summer with top targets Harry Kane and Mason Mount to help close the gap on Manchester City and Arsenal next season. .

Elanga, who joined the first team under Ralf Rangnick last season, is another fighting for his chance while Ferdinand believes Martial is another who could be sent off in the coming months.
"Scott McTominay doesn't play as much, not as much as he would like," Ferdinand told Vibe with Five.
"If I were him as a young player I would probably start assessing the situation and have really difficult conversations with the club [asking] if you see me in it. .
"If I go that far I'll start looking and I don't think he'll have any trouble finding a club, he's a very good footballer and he can add a lot of value.
“Harry Maguire needs to consider a new option for himself. Unless he says he's happy to be third or fourth choice. Elanga might [be a different person], he doesn't stand a chance.
“Martial has proven that he can't keep his form. I think if you take those four people out, there's £100 million there. Elanga is not getting the football he deserves. "He did well when he arrived and still hasn't had any luck. Great players up front but he wants to play in the first team.
Dean Henderson is another United player the club could consider dropping for a decent fee this summer, with Nottingham Forest keen to loan him out permanently in a £30m deal.
