Man United Transfer: Manchester United saw a transforming season under Erik ten Hag. The former Ajax manager has made them a formidable squad and he wants the Red Devils, even more, stronger in the summer.
Ten Hag guided Manchester United to their first trophy since 2017 when they beat Newcastle in Carabao Cup final last month. They are also in the semifinals of the FA Cup and quarterfinals of the UEFA Europa League. The summer transfer window will give them a major boost and most probably, it will be the first transfer window under the new ownership. Follow Premier League LIVE updates with InsideSport.IN
If the deal gets complete, Man United will be one of the most expensive clubs in Europe. It means Erik ten Hag will get enough budget to boost his squad ahead of the 2023/24 season.
The Dutchman has picked a few players who will make their way for new signings. Players who have underperformed this season will be sold in the summer. Meanwhile, these picks can gain the trust of their manager if they perform in the remaining games of this season.
The 53-year-old has fixed these players who might get a departure from Old Trafford. Fans can get surprised by the boss as few names are so big and played a big role in Man United’s past success.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Diogo Dalot is Erik ten Hag’s main priority as a right-back and Wan-Bissaka is sitting on the bench. His contract will expire next year and Crystal Palace is showing interest in him. Man United will say final bye to this defender in the summer.
Anthony Martial
The Frenchman tried to impress this season but it wasn’t enough to match the caliber of Marcus Rashford who has been outstanding. Man United will focus on other options in his position. His contract will expire in 2024 and ten Hag may want to cash in on him at the end of the season.
Scott McTominay
The Midfield section needs to be updated. McTominay failed to get regular games under Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman is preferring other options like Casemiro, Marcel Sabitzer, and Christian Eriksen who made an impressive start to their debut season. Newcastle can plan his move in the summer.
David de Gea
Man United goalkeeper is the surprising name in this list and he has been quite good so far. However, his contract will expire in June. If he stays, he has to take the lower salary from next season and it’s unlikely to happen.
Wout Weghorst
The Dutchman joined United on loan from Burnley in the winter transfer window. He was included to fill the space of Robaldo but he failed short of Erik ten Hag’s expectations.
Harry Maguire
The Man United captain failed to carry his form since the arrival of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez. When he got fit, ten Hag preferred Luke Shaw at centre-back. He is linked with PSG and Inter for the summer move.
🚨 Maguire: “I shouldn’t have to prove myself at this level. I have over 50 caps, I’ve played almost 200 times for Manchester United, captaining the club for three years, but I understand that when you’re United captain, you are more scrutinized.” #MUFC 🔴 pic.twitter.com/cEIZdWkiTL

Marcel Sabitzer
Marcel Sabitzer is another surprising name due to too many options in midfield. Eriksen will be back to playing XI next season and Sabitzer can lose his place.
It’s interesting to see how Man United takes this idea in the summer transfer window. Upcoming games will also be important for these selected players who can earn the trust of Erik ten Hag. Manchester United will be back in action when they will face EFL Cup runner-ups Newcastle in Premier League on April 02.
