As the underwhelming season of the United football club approaches its end, the possibility of significant changes to the management and playing staff is being considered in an effort to secure a position in the Champions League. Though mathematically still a possibility, the team faces slim odds of qualifying for Europe’s elite club competition and is more likely to finish sixth or seventh, a considerable drop from their third-place position at the end of last season. With 12 losses in the Premier League and an early exit from Europe, pressure has been mounting on manager Erik ten Hag. Rumors suggest that the club may entertain offers for all first-team players except for Hojlund, Mainoo, and Garnacho.
Hojlund, a 21-year-old who has scored 14 goals this season, and Mainoo, a 19-year-old who has displayed significant potential, are considered indispensable by some. Garnacho, an Argentinean under 20, has contributed 11 goals in 32 games and is seen as another valuable asset. The potential sale of other players, including Bruno Fernandes, Andre Onana, and Diogo Dalot, is also under consideration, despite their importance to the team. The 26-year-old Marcus Rashford is another player whose future at the club is uncertain, with sources suggesting that the club is inclined to keep him but might consider a sale for the right price.
Several other players, including Anthony Martial, Raphael Varane, Christian Eriksen, and others, are also facing an uncertain future with the club. Injuries have further clouded the future of players such as Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood, making their permanent departure a possibility. The uncertainties surrounding various senior players have led to the identification of just three unsellable assets by the club.
