Manchester United ready to consider offers for multiple first-team stars as Ten Hag aims to strengthen squad in 3 key positions - Reports
Manchester United are reportedly open to selling several first-team stars, including Harry Maguire and Jadon Sancho, to help further rebuild Erik ten Hag's squad. The club's new co-owners INEOS are overseeing recruitment with Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee and French teenage defender Leny Yoro signed.
ESPN reports that the Red Devils will consider offers for Victor Lindelof, 30, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, 26, and Christian Eriksen, 32. The trio have one year left on their contracts, and now is the time to cash in on them.
Manchester United are also willing to sell Maguire, 30, Sancho, 24, Scott McTominay, 27, and Antony, 24, could also depart if their valuations are met. It's telling of the significant overhaul of Ten Hag's squad that is taking place this summer.
Zirkzee, 23, and Yoro, 18, have arrived at Old Trafford for a combined £88 million, but Ten Hag wants to do more business. He wants a new central midfielder, another center-back, and a right-back.
The Red Devils are pursuing Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt, 24, but are yet to agree on a fee with the Bundesliga giants. They are also tracking Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte, 23, and have reportedly agreed on personal terms with the Uruguayan.
Maguire, Sancho, and McTominay would be the highest-profile departures if they were to be moved on. After returning from his loan spell with Borussia Dortmund, Sancho has been reinstated into United's first team. English winger has made up with Ten Hag after their falling out, but he's linked with PSG and is valued at £40 million.
Bruno Fernandes is reportedly set for contract talks if he stays at Manchester United this summer
Bruno Fernandes' future has been uncertain despite having two years left on his contract. The Portuguese playmaker has been linked with PSG after another excellent season at Manchester United.
However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has downplayed suggestions that Parisians are trying to sign Fernandes. He claims that they are focused on his Portugal teammate Joao Neves.
Fernandes, 29, could be in line for contract talks if he stays at Manchester United when the summer transfer window closes. He's been with the Red Devils since January 2020, when he joined from Sporting CP for a reported £67.6 million.
The 71-cap Portugal international was appointed captain by Ten Hag last summer. He registered 15 goals and 13 assists in 48 games across competitions, captaining his side to the FA Cup.
