Manchester United’s recent setbacks, including a disappointing loss to Coventry and a narrow FA Cup final win via penalties, have underscored the pressing need for a squad overhaul.


As the club looks to rejuvenate itself, up to 12 players may depart this summer under the guidance of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his revamped football operations team.


Despite financial constraints due to fair play regulations, the club aims to generate revenue from player transfers to facilitate much-needed improvements.

With a careful evaluation of every squad position underway, technical director Jason Wilcox leads the assessment while anticipation grows for Dan Ashworth’s potential appointment as United’s new director of football from Newcastle.


Up to four defensive players, including Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, and Harry Maguire, could be among those departing, though Maguire's contributions during absences are noted.


In midfield, underperforming players like Casemiro and Christian Eriksen may make way, along with loanee Sofyan Amrabat.


Financial losses may be accepted for Antony, while Marcus Rashford could depart if the right offer arises, despite a standout performance last year.


Jadon Sancho, who faced disciplinary issues, and Anthony Martial, nearing the end of his contract, are also likely to leave.


However, core players such as Andre Onana, Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes, and Rasmus Hojlund are set to stay. Promising talents like Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot, Alejandro Garnacho, Willie Kwambala, and Mason Mount, despite injury setbacks, have futures at the club.


While United may see significant squad changes, it’s unrealistic to expect an equal influx of new players.


Ratcliffe urges patience as the club navigates its post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, aiming for steady progress under new leadership.
