United are hoping to boost their transfer budget for the summer
Man United are planning a huge summer cull as they aim to try and generate funds for the transfer window.
Manchester United have a number of high-profile targets in mind, including Harry Kane and Mason Mount however they are now reportedly no longer considering the two due to them being out of their price range.
Moises Caicedo and Adrien Rabiot are now the latest names in contention for a move to Old Trafford. A goalkeeper is also thought to be high on Erik ten Hag’s shopping list.
With so many areas needed for improvement but only a reported £100m available for the Dutchman to spend, United are planning to offload as many as 14 players.
Three brackets for Man United sales
Reports from the Daily Mail have suggested that those 13 in question are split across three separate categories which range from:
- For sale
- Will listen to offers
- Available for the right price
Donny van de Beek, Fred and Anthony Elanga are all rumoured to be up for sale, with the club hoping to fetch £20m for each of them. Youngster Hannibal Mejbri is also in that category alongside Eric Bailly, Alex Telles and Brandon Williams. Zidane Iqbal is one of those 13 players and could be the first out the door, with FC Utrecht close to secure an £850k move.
Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay and Dean Henderson are all thought to be available for the right price. Henderson has been linked with a permanent return to Nottingham Forest, where he spent last season on loan.
Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial are two that Ten Hag would ideally like to keep at the club but should the right offer be made, then United would be open to letting them go.

If all are sold, United could receive as much as £260m in fees, meaning that Ten Hag would be able to spend the money required to get the targets he wants.
