After a disappointing and early exit from the Champions League, Manchester United (MU) is planning to overhaul their squad in order to aim for bigger goals.
According to Mirror, only 10 players in the MU squad are guaranteed a future after the 2023/24 season. Among them are new signings such as Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund, and Mason Mount. Additionally, players like Lisandro Martinez, Willy Kambwala, Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, and Alejandro Garnacho have their futures secured at the club.
Marcus Rashford is facing the possibility of being sold. Daily Express reports that Rashford’s teammates at MU have doubts about his body language and attitude on the pitch. PSG is rumored to be ready to roll out the red carpet to sign Marcus Rashford.
The duo of Raphael Varane and Casemiro are being listed for sale due to signs of aging. Upon taking over MU, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has not hesitated to change the club’s personnel policy. The English billionaire wants to bring in high-potential signings that can have a high resale value if they no longer fit the club.
MU fans have been surprised by the performance of Harry Maguire, who impressed in the latter half of the 2023/24 season. With Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane frequently plagued by injuries, manager Erik ten Hag has had to give opportunities to Harry Maguire. The former Leicester City player played a significant role in helping MU reach the FA Cup final against Manchester City. Erik ten Hag himself is not guaranteed his position as the head coach. At this moment, the Dutch strategist is under the supervision of newly-appointed Technical Director Jason Wilcox.
The MU board has sent a final warning to Erik ten Hag, demanding that he apply a possession-based and imposing style of play. The club has not made a final decision yet as they have not found a suitable replacement candidate.
