Manchester United might need to sell more players than they had intended after their defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final. The 1-0 loss in Bilbao means United will not have any European football next season and have missed out on an estimated £100 million from Champions League qualification.
It is understood United had initially budgeted for next season with the expectation they would not play in Europe, though the reality of their dismal defeat in Tottenham might have reiterated just how extensive the changes need to be this summer. Ruben Amorim has overseen the worst season in the club's modern history and should be given the power to make ruthless squad cuts if required.
United might find it harder to attract certain players this summer, though Matheus Cunha is still set to join the club irrespective of their failure to earn Champions League qualification. Here is how United could line up next season:
