Manchester United are gearing up for a squad overhaul this summer, following their worst ever Premier League finish.
After ending up in 15th place last season, manager Ruben Amorim is keen to make significant changes. But so far, the only major signing has been Matheus Cunha from Wolves, while Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof have left the club after their contracts expired.
More arrivals and departures are anticipated before the transfer window closes. Players including Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia are all rumoured to be on their way out, with several clubs reportedly interested.
Here, the Daily Star Sport looks at the latest Manchester United transfer news.

Rashford has been told he doesn't feature in Ruben Amorim's plans, having spent the latter half of last season on loan at Aston Villa after being sidelined by the Portuguese manager. The striker's agents want to know what United would accept to let him go.
Rashford is willing to negotiate on the terms of a pay-off to enable a move, but it's believed he's more likely to go out on loan again, with Barcelona among the interested clubs.
Alejandro Garnacho rejects move

Alejandro Garnacho has reportedly snubbed the opportunity to team up with his hero Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, as per the Telegraph.
The 21 year old winger has been advised to seek a new club and received an offer from Al-Nassr. Yet, Garnacho has declined their proposal, holding out for a move to another European side instead.
Both Chelsea and Napoli have previously shown interest in Garnacho, though his next destination is currently uncertain.

Brentford have turned down two bids for the striker, who scored 20 goals in the Premier League last season, trailing only Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak, and Erling Haaland in the scoring charts. The Bees are seeking a sum greater than the £62.5m United shelled out for Matheus Cunha.
Mbeumo himself is growing increasingly discontented with the protracted nature of the transfer saga. Cameroon's assistant coach Ashu Cyprian Besong told Telecom Asia: "Yes, obviously he's very frustrated with how long it's taken."
