4 players who need to leave Man Utd this summer
- Man Utd have signed two players already this summer
- A number of players are also expected to depart
- Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Casemiro could leave Old Trafford
With Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee already though the door at Old Trafford, it's clear that change is afoot at Manchester United this summer.
The new INEOS-shaped transfer team at Man Utd are shaping a new-look team for Erik ten Hag ahead of the 2024/25 season, and as part of that process we're expecting plenty of players to depart as well as arrive.
Here's four players that need a move away from Man Utd this summer...
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Man Utd are reportedly already in 'advanced talks' to sell Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham United this summer and, in truth, it's a move that'd make a lot of sense for all parties.
Having lost the right-back battle to the impressive Diogo Dalot in recent seasons, there's seemingly no consistent route to first-team football for Wan-Bissaka at Old Trafford in the near future.
That, coupled with the club's fear of losing the full-back on a free next summer, means a move during the current transfer window makes a lot of sense.
A move to West Ham would be a smart one for the 26-year-old too. It's a club at which he'll finally be able to get some regular Premier League football - something his talents deserve.
Jadon Sancho
Erik ten Hag recently reintegrated Jadon Sancho back into first-team training after a lengthy feud which saw the wide forward be shipped out on loan during the second half of the 2023/24 season.
And while the manager has said that they've 'drawn a line' under the issues and 'moved on', there is a lingering feeling that it'll never quite work out for Sancho at Old Trafford.
Even when Sancho has played under Ten Hag, he has struggled for form - scoring just seven goals in all competitions.
If Man Utd can find a viable suitor, it may be best for Sancho to accept a permanent move away this summer.
Harry Maguire
Another Man Utd defender who could end up at West Ham this summer is former captain Harry Maguire.
The defender was stripped of the captaincy and almost pushed out the door last summer - coming within a whisker of joining the Hammers - and with the signing of Leny Yoro now being confirmed, it seems like the writing is on the wall for Maguire at Man Utd.
With their being no guarantees that the 31-year-old will play regular football at Old Trafford in 2024/25, it's probably time to go elsewhere.
Casemiro
It was genuinely quite sad to watch Casemiro lumber about Premier League pitches last season.
The defensive midfielder's legs have gone, and with Manuel Ugarte inbound, it's clear that he doesn't (and shouldn't) have a future at Old Trafford.
Don't feel too sorry for him though, we're sure there's a Saudi Pro League or two that are willing to pay him an exorbitant wage packet in order to play in the Middle East.
