Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS are said to be preparing to offload as many as 12 players at Old Trafford, but they may encounter familiar problems.
Since the end of Sir Alex Ferguson’s era in 2013, it has seemed like United has needed a busy summer almost every year. As the end of Ten Hag’s second season approaches, which has showcased a fairly disastrous regression, the situation looks no different. However, the Red Devils now have new and improved decision-makers at the helm.
But this may not make a substantial difference if there isn’t much money to spend. INEOS will need to shift players more efficiently than the previous regime to enable United to spend £100m more than they generate ahead of the first full season of the INEOS era.

There are several players reportedly up for sale, including Marcus Rashford, whose contract and form have caused little interest from potential buyers. Contracts for Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial expire in June, freeing up significant wages, and multiple other players, such as Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, Donny van de Beek, Jadon Sancho, and Mason Greenwood, are also said to be available for the right offers. Rashford’s future is uncertain due to questionable form and off-field controversies, and while Paris Saint-Germain has been linked to him, they reportedly prefer AC Milan’s Rafael Leao.
The issue of inflated salaries for other players at the club has also been problematic in the past. Overall, the club’s ability to offload players efficiently will be crucial, especially given the uncertainties surrounding some key players.
