Manchester United have found it as difficult as expected this summer, when it comes to disposing of unwanted stars.
The likes of Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho are all known to have handed in a transfer request, as the Red Devils look to free up funds.
Funds which are very much needed in order to avoid financial troubles.

Especially after recently missing out on Champions League football.
Rashford in particular is another one of the five who has handed in a transfer request, and remains a player of huge discussion.
The Englishman’s loan spell at Aston Villa last season helped pick up stock, having rekindled good form under Unai Emery.
Aston Villa though, ultimately chose not to pursue a permanent deal for Rashford due to PSR pressures.
Barcelona have been known to be one of the clubs keeping tabs on Rashford’s situation, going back to December 2024.
Discussions internally have already taken place over a potential loan with an option to buy set at €40million (£34.5m).

That is according to CadenaSER’s report, who state that Rashford is desperate to make the move happen and is currently awaiting a call from Barcelona to activate the operation.
Sources close to the deal suggest the 27-year-old is prioritising a switch to Camp Nou over other offers he has received.
However, a decision can’t be delayed for long.
Barca view him as one of two serious target alongside Liverpool’s Luis Diaz.
It is likely that one of the two will join Barca, especially after Hansi Flick’s preferred target in Nico Williams, chose to extend with Athletic Bilbao.
United’s eagerness to sell makes the deal financially viable.
The Red Devils are open to any formula that gets Rashford off the books.
A stance that only strengthens Barcelona’s hand in negotiations.
