The latest Man Utd transfer news in the summer window with eight players set to leave the club.
Manchester United are set to bid farewell to eight players in the summer transfer window, with their exits finalised next week.
Ruben Amorim has already added Matheus Cunha to his squad in the early weeks of the window, while they are confident of adding Bryan Mbeumo to their squad as well. The United head coach would also like to sign a striker, with Viktor Gyokeres, Hugo Ekitike and Moise Kean all still under consideration.
United's move for a striker could hinge on player sales, though, as they look to shift several unwanted first-team stars. Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony are all available for permanent transfer, with United also open to offers for both Altay Bayindir and Tyrell Malacia. Those exits could dictate the overall success of the summer window, though the club will also make a substantial saving when they officially lose nine players from their wage book next week.

United set to lose eight players next week
Manchester United will officially say goodbye to eight players next week when their respective contracts with the club come to an end. United released their retained list earlier in the month after they informed the Premier League which players had not been offered new contracts.
Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen both remain on the lookout for new clubs after they were not handed new deals, though they are still technically contracted to United until their contracts expire at the end of the month. It means Lindelof and Eriksen will officially become free agents on Tuesday, though they could still have signed pre-contract agreements ahead of their exits.
United also chose not to offer new deals to academy hopefuls Hubert Graczyk, Jack Kingdon, Sam Murray, Tom Myles, James Nolan and Tom Wooster. Murray has signed for National League side Carlisle United while the others will all be free to sign for new clubs as of next week as they each look to make an impact in the professional game.
It also means United are set to complete three transfers over the coming week with as Diego Leon will join from Cerro Porteño and Enzo Kana-Biyik is set to arrive from Le Havre. United have also agreed to sign Southampton youngster Harley Emsden-James when his contract expires at the end of the month.
