When Sir Jim Ratcliffe was confirmed as Manchester United’s new part-owner in February, he immediately stated that his aim was to restore the club to its former glory within three years, while ultimately knocking rivals Manchester City and Liverpool off their perch.
That process will begin to take place in the upcoming summer transfer window and a huge factor in realising that goal will be recruitment, which is an area where many fans feel the club has fallen short in the past.
As it stands, Monday’s humiliating 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace leaves further clouds around the future of Erik ten Hag, but regardless of who is in charge next summer, with the possible introduction of sporting director Dan Ashworth, there are bound to be plenty of comings and goings at Old Trafford in the coming months.
With that in mind, based on recent speculation, we take a look at six players Manchester United could look to sign in the summer - and six who are likely to move onto pastures new in the coming months.
5. Out: Sofyan Amrabat
Erik ten Hag vehemently battled to secure Ambrabts signature last year, but the Moroccan has struggled for first team football since making the loan move and has cost the club a reported £8.5m. As it stands, given his lack of game time, it is unlikely that the deal for the 27-year-old will be made permanent. | Manchester United via Getty Imag
6. Out: Raphael Varane
Raphael Varane's contract at Old Trafford is set to expire in the summer, putting an end to his three-year stay at the club after arriving for a reported £34m. | Manchester United via Getty Imag
7. Out: Brandon Williams
Brandon Williams joins the mass exodus of free agents from Old Trafford. The full back, who was loaned out to Ipswich, has been told he can find a new club, according to Football Insider. | Manchester United via Getty Imag
8. Out: Casemiro
