Manchester United would consider selling whole team except trio of youngsters
The majority of the Manchester United squad could potentially be sold in this summer's transfer window, that's according to latest press reports.
United is set for a significant squad overhaul this summer, with plans to consider offers for nearly all first-team members as Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS take strategic control of the football operations.
The club wants to return to competitive form by focusing on financial stability and a refreshed squad dynamic.
Despite a contract running until 2028, Marcus Rashford could depart if he wishes to leave and the club receives a suitable offer, the reports claim.
The England striker has had fluctuating performances, yet remains a valued asset that the club would prefer to retain. Nonetheless, there's a chance he could exit under the right circumstances.
The new transfer approach comes after seasons of hefty spending yielded underwhelming results.
United has only three players young players - Kobbie Mainoo, Rasmus Hojlund, and Alejandro Garnacho - that the club won't consider selling and won't entertain any transfer discussions.
Shifting to a more restrained approach appears more necessary given Manchester United’s absence from next season's Champions League.
