Man United contracts: Which players are free to leave Old Trafford in 2026?

Manchester United are attempting to return to former glories under the leadership of head coach Ruben Amorim, who took charge of the Red Devils in October 2024.

The futures of a number of first-team players are currently unclear, with a number potentially on the move at the end of the 2025-26 campaign.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the Man United players whose contracts expire next summer.

Casemiro has proved his worth to head coach Amorim in the opening months of the 2025-26 campaign, and he could be offered the chance to extend his deal at Old Trafford.

Tyrell Malacia

Age: 26

Position: Left-back

Transfer value: £6m

Joined: July 5, 2022

Joining fee: £13m

Man United appearances: 47

Man United goals: 0

Club Honours

Malacia missed the entirety of the 2022-23 season due to a serious knee injury which required two separate operations. The Dutchman made the move to PSV Eindhoven on loan in the latter stages of the January transfer window, but he will not be joining the Eredivisie team on a permanent basis.

The club attempted to shift the full-back on during the 2025 transfer window, but a failure to find a club means Malacia could leave upon the expiration of his contract in 2026.

Harry Maguire

Age: 32

Position: Centre-back

Transfer value: £15.3m

Joined: August 5, 2019

Joining fee: £80m

Man United appearances: 255

Man United goals: 17

Club Honours

EFL Cup (1): 2022-23

FA Cup (1): 2023-24

Maguire was thought to be surplus to requirements at Old Trafford in the summer of 2023, but he managed to win back the trust of now former head coach Erik ten Hag during the 2023-24 campaign.

The 32-year-old has proven himself to new head coach Amorim, meanwhile, and his contract was recently extended for a further 12 months to take him to the summer of 2026.
