During the summer of 2024, Manchester United made the bold decision to stick by Erik ten Hag after his FA Cup triumph over Manchester City despite a hugely underwhelming league and European campaign which ended with an eighth place finish and a group stage exit in the Champions League.
The decision came following the introduction of Dan Ashworth and resulted in a refresh in the playing squad as more than £200m was spent on new recruits such as Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee and Matthijs de Ligt in a bid to fire the team back to the big time.
Ultimately neither Ten Hag or Ashworth would last long enough to see a much more subdued January window as the likes of Marcus Rashford and Antony both departed on loan.
The pair’s exit meant United have now parted ways with 18 players since last season in total, with eight leaving on loan and a further 10 departing on a permanent basis.
That number is likely to increase in the summer once permanent decisions and loan obligations come into effect.
But what are the 18 players that left United up to now and how have they performed at their new clubs?
