Manchester United transfer rumours: Who could leave this summer? Rating every possible exit

A number of players have already left Manchester United this summer, and more will follow in the final stages of the market, with the club making huge changes under the guidance of new minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Eleven have departed since the end of the 2023-24 campaign, with Brandon Williams, Shola Shoretire, Anthony Martial, Raphael Varane and Omari Forson leaving on free transfers.

Meanwhile, Hannibal Mejbri, Donny van de Beek, Alvaro Fernandez, Willy Kambwala, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Mason Greenwood and Facundo Pelliistri have departed for transfer fees.

Joshua Zirkzee was confirmed as the first signing of the INEOS era, with the Netherlands international arriving from Bologna, while the club announced a deal for Lille's Leny Yoro on July 18; moves for Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui then followed.

Here, Sports Mole takes a closer look at which players could depart the 20-time English champions before the end of the summer transfer window.

Casemiro excelled for Man United during the 2022-23 campaign, but he struggled to show his best form in 2023-24, and a departure for the Brazil international this summer is probable.

A switch to another European team is unlikely, with the player said to have turned down Bayern Munich, but a number of clubs from Saudi Arabia are said to be interested, with Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal believed to be at the head of the queue for his signature.

Recent speculation, though, is linking Casemiro with a move to Fenerbahce.

Jadon Sancho

Age: 24 Position: Attacker Rumoured asking price: £50m Transfer value: £25.6m Career appearances: 243 Career goals: 65

Sancho spent the second half of the 2023-24 campaign on loan at Borussia Dortmund after the breakdown of his relationship with Man United head coach Erik ten Hag.

BVB are keen to sign the 24-year-old on a permanent basis this summer, but there have been claims that Man United want £40m for his signature, with the situation currently at a standstill.

Juventus are the latest club to be linked with his services.

Our verdict: Likely

---

Mason Greenwood

Age: 22 Position: Attacker Rumoured asking price: £40m Transfer value: £12.8m Career appearances: 166 Career goals: 46

Greenwood is unlikely to represent Man United again, with the Red Devils said to be hopeful of selling their academy product for around £40m during the summer market.

Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus are among the teams to be linked with the 22-year-old, but a recent report claimed that the forward wants to return to Getafe for the 2024-25 campaign, having impressed while on loan at the La Liga club during the recent season.

A return to the Spanish outfit is highly unlikely, though, with Benfica the latest club to have allegedly joined the race for his signature.

Valencia, meanwhile, are thought to have recently launched a £25m bid.

Lazio are also being heavily linked with Greenwood, while a recent report claimed that Juventus might be willing to offer Federico Chiesa to the Red Devils as part of a swap deal.

Our verdict: Very likely

Donny van de Beek

Age: 27 Position: Central midfielder Rumoured asking price: £8m Transfer value: £4.3m Career appearances: 287 Career goals: 52

Honours

Eredivisie (1): 2018-19

KNVB Cup (1): 2018-19

Johan Cruyff Shield (1): 2019

Van de Beek spent the second half of last season on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt, but the Bundesliga outfit have decided against bringing him in on a permanent basis this summer.

The 27-year-old is therefore heading back to Man United, but he has no future at Old Trafford and will almost certainly be sold this summer, with his agent recently hinting at a move to Spain, Italy or France.

Our verdict: Very likely

Harry Maguire

Age: 31 Position: Centre-back Rumoured asking price: £30m Transfer value: £15.3m Career appearances: 539 Career goals: 32

Honours

Championship playoffs (1): 2016

EFL Cup (1): 2022-23

FA Cup (1): 2023-24

There remains speculation surrounding Maguire's future at Old Trafford, with the 20-time English champions believed to be willing to listen to offers for him during the summer market.

West Ham United are said to have agreed a £30m deal for the England international last year, but Maguire turned down a switch to the London Stadium.

Maguire regained the trust of his manager during the recent season, but if a suitable offer arrives, he could potentially be on his way out of Old Trafford.

Our verdict: Unlikely

Bruno Fernandes

Age: 29 Position: Central midfielder Rumoured asking price: £60m Transfer value: £59.6m Career appearances: 523 Career goals: 163

Honours

Taca de Portugal (1): 2018-19

Taca de Liga (2): 2017-18, 2018-19

FA Cup (1): 2023-24

EFL Cup (1): 2022-23

UEFA Nations League (1): 2018-19

Fernandes's future is currently the subject of speculation, with Bayern Munich believed to be determined to secure his signature during this summer's transfer window.

There have been claims that the 29-year-old is unsettled at Old Trafford, but it would be a huge surprise to see him leave the 20-time English champions.

Fernandes could potentially be in line for a new deal at Old Trafford, with Man United viewing him as central to their plans moving forward.

Any decision over the attacker will not be made until after Euro 2024, with Portugal already being confirmed as one of the last-16 outfits at the competition in Germany.

Our verdict: Very unlikely

Marcus Rashford

Age: 26 Position: Attacker Rumoured asking price: £70m Transfer value: £51.1m Career appearances: 402 Career goals: 131

Honours

FA Cup (2): 2015-16, 2023-24

EFL Cup (2): 2016-17, 2022-23

Community Shield (1): 2016

UEFA Europa League (1): 2016-17

Rashford struggled for form during the 2023-24 campaign, and his issues at club level meant that he was overlooked for a spot in the England squad for Euro 2024.

Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with a big-money move for the forward this summer, but it is very difficult to imagine the French outfit coming up with a suitable offer, while a potential switch to Arsenal is even more unlikely.

Rashford is said to be determined to stay at Old Trafford and show his best form next season, and he has another four years left to run on a lucrative contract with the Red Devils.

In a recent poll conducted by Sports Mole, more than half of Man United fans said that they would sell Rashford this summer.

Our verdict: Unlikely

Antony

Age: 24 Position: Attacker Rumoured asking price: £35m Transfer value: £21.3m Career appearances: 216 Career goals: 42

Honours

Eredivisie (2): 2020-21, 2021-22

KNVB Cup (1): 2020-21

FA Cup (1): 2023-24

EFL Cup (1): 2022-23

Antony has struggled at Man United since his big-money move from Ajax, and he only managed one Premier League goal during the 2023-24 campaign.

The 24-year-old is being linked with a switch away from Old Trafford, but there are not believed to have been any offers at this stage, and the Red Devils could find it difficult to shift him this summer unless they are prepared to accept a cut-price offer.

Our verdict: Unlikely

Christian Eriksen

Age: 32 Position: Central midfielder Rumoured asking price: £10m Transfer value: £6.8m Career appearances: 610 Career goals: 113

Honours

Serie A (1): 2020-21

FA Cup (1): 2023-24

EFL Cup (1): 2022-23

Eriksen impressed for Man United during the 2022-23 campaign but had to accept a limited role during the recent season, and he is being linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer.

The 32-year-old is unlikely to be short of interest, and it is probable that the Denmark international will be on the move in a cut-price deal during the summer market.

Eriksen has allegedly told close friends that he is expecting to depart in the current window.

Our verdict: Likely

Kobbie Mainoo

Age: 19 Position: Central midfielder Rumoured asking price: £70m Transfer value: £42.3m Career appearances: 35 Career goals: 5

Honours

FA Cup (1): 2023-24

Barcelona are allegedly interested in signing Mainoo this summer, with the club said to be willing to offer Raphinha plus £8.5m for the 19-year-old.

However, it is highly unlikely that Man United will entertain any offers for the England international, who made 32 appearances for the Red Devils during the 2023-24 campaign.

Mainoo is thought to be one of six untouchable players in the current first-team squad.

A recent report claimed that Man United are currently relaxed when it comes to Mainoo's future, with the midfielder having a contract at Old Trafford until June 2027.

However, discussions over a new and improved contract with Ten Hag's side could potentially be accelerated later this year, with Mainoo expected to receive a significant pay rise.

Our verdict: Very unlikely

Victor Lindelof

Age: 29 Position: Centre-back Rumoured asking price: £25m Transfer value: £12.7m Career appearances: 479 Career goals: 10

Honours

Division 1 Norra (1): 2010

Primeira Liga (3): 2013-14, 2015-16, 2016-17

Supertaca Candido de Oliveira (1): 2015

FA Cup (1): 2023-24

EFL Cup (1): 2022-23

UEFA European Under-21 Championship (1): 2015

Man United are believed to be willing to sell Lindelof for the right price during this summer's transfer window, with Fenerbahce allegedly showing an interest in the Sweden international.

Lindelof has made 259 appearances for the Red Devils since his arrival from Benfica in 2017.

Raphael Varane's departure has already been confirmed, and Man United are said to be willing to listen to offers for Lindelof, with the club expected to bring in two new central defenders.

Our verdict: Likely

Facundo Pellistri

Age: 22 Position: Attacker Rumoured asking price: £15m Transfer value: £6.7m Career appearances: 114 Career goals: 5

Pellistri could allegedly be on his way out of Old Trafford this summer, with Brazilian outfit Flamengo said to be keen to secure his signature in the current market.

The Uruguay international spent the second half of last season on loan at Granada, and the 22-year-old could now leave the English giants on a permanent basis in the coming weeks.

Pellistri has made 24 appearances for Man United in all competitions but is yet to find the back of the net.

Our verdict: Very likely
