Manchester United are prepared to let four first-team squad members depart before the summer transfer window closes later this month.

The Red Devils have been busy during their first window under new co-owners INEOS, with Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui all arriving to bolster the squad which won the FA Cup and finished eighth in the Premier League league last season.

United have also been able to offload Donny van de Beek, Willy Kambwala, Mason Greenwood and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, but there is still some deadwood that needs to be shifted to give manager Erik ten Hag a more functional squad.

The Manchester Evening News report the club are happy to get rid of Jadon Sancho, Scott McTominay, Hannibal Mejbri and Victor Lindelof. Only McTominay of that quartet was included in the squad that beat Fulham last Friday, coming on as a late substitute before Joshua Zirkzee scored the winner.

The Scotland international has been the subject of interest from Fulham, who have reportedly re-entered talks with United after previously having two bids rejected.

Sancho was included in the pre-season squad but didn't make the cut for the clash with the Cottagers, with Ten Hag claiming a fitness issue prevented him being named on matchday. There has also been rumoured interest from Premier League rivals Chelsea.

Hannibal is a target for Championship outfit Burnley, while Facundo Pellistri has sealed a permanent departure from Old Trafford by joining Greek giants Panathinaikos. Defender Lindelof was recently spotted on crutches and has only a year left on his current contract.

Denmark international Christian Eriksen may also be allowed to leave before the deadline, with United keen to receive £5m in order to let the former Tottenham Hotspur star leave.
