10 players who will leave Man Utd this summer - including high-earner, £40m-valued ace & young trio


Manchester United are just one win away from playing Champions League football next season - despite enduring their worst-ever campaign in the Premier League era.
Ruben Amorim’s side have made it to the Europa League final where they will play domestic rivals Tottenham Hotspur. The all-English final means there will be six Premier League teams in the Champions League next season with the top five also securing a spot in the competition. With 36 teams entering the tournament, one sixth will be made up by Premier League clubs.

Hide AdUnited are preparing a squad overhaul in the summer as Ruben Amorim will be required to sell some players to raise funds for signings. Without European football, the Red Devils can finance one or two incomings without sales. However, moving some players on will bolster Amorim’s transfer budget as he looks to sign players who fit his tactical system as United aim to put a miserable domestic campaign behind them.
With the Red Devils preparing an overhaul, we look at 10 United players who are headed for the exit door this summer.
Seven deals expiring with no new contract offers coming
Victor Lindelof, Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans are all set to leave United this summer as their respective deals come to an end at the club. Eriksen has already revealed that he will be looking for something new with no offer coming from the Red Devils over a new deal.
Evans has turned 37 this season and will not be handed a new contract. United activated a 12-month extension in Lindelof’s deal last season but with no such option this year, the Sweden international is another set to leave the club. Tom Heaton was previously tipped for an exit but he is now set to be offered a new deal.

Hide AdManchester World reported earlier this week that young trio, Sam Murray, Jack Kingdon, and James Nolan are all set to depart when their deals expire at the end of the campaign. The three defenders have regularly appeared for the club’s Under-21s side but are not deemed to be at the required level to play for the club’s first team. They will not be offered new deals as they now plan to continue their careers elsewhere.
Loan quartet not wanted by Ruben Amorim - summer exits on the cards
United also have four players out on loan who are all poised to be moved on again in the summer. Marcus Rashford, Tyrell Malacia and Antony all left the Red Devils in January and none of the trio are believed to have future under Amorim. That is despite Rashford and Antony enjoying a big upturn in form at Aston Villa and Real Betis, respectively.
Betis are keen to keep Antony after he played a key role in their progress to the Europa Conference League final. United need to sell him for around £32.5m to avoid a loss on profit and sustainability. Villa have a £40m option to buy Rashford but it is not clear if the Villa Park outfit can afford the move without Champions League football. The England star is believed to be on over £300,000 per week with United and is one of the highest earners at the club.
Malacia has not impressed at PSV Eindhoven and is set to return to Old Trafford before being moved on again this summer.
