Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim wants to offload 10 first-team players in order to fund a summer 'warchest,' according to reports. It has long been speculated that the Red Devils will need to free up wages and sell players in order to make a splash in the transfer market as the club undergoes continuing cost-cutting measures to help improve their financial standing.
Recruitment will no doubt be at the forefront of Amorim's mind going into next season, with the Portuguese coach needing players to fit into the squad that align with his preferred 3-4-3 system. And the names of the players he is willing to let go of in order to make this happen have now been revealed.

Rashford, Shaw and Sancho Among 10 Players Amorim Wants Out
Several other first team members are reportedly aware their futures are uncertain
According to a report from the Daily Mail, England internationals Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, and Jadon Sancho are all among those considered to be ready for the exit door, with Amorim willing to see the trio leave the club to make way for his own players. The two forwards are both out on loan, with Rashford showing improved form at Aston Villa while Sancho's struggles continue at Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Shaw has made just three appearances in all competitions this season, and his manager is believed to be happy for the 29-year-old to leave if he can't prove his fitness. Other names on the chopping block are Antony, who is currently out on loan at La Liga side Real Betis, the club's highest earner Casemiro, and Tyrell Malacia, on whom PSV have an option to buy.
It is also claimed that senior stars Jonny Evans and Tom Heaton are expected to announce their retirements at the end of the season, while Scandinavian duo Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen will not sign new deals and will leave the club at the end of the season—something the former has already hinted at in interviews.

How United's On Loan Forwards Are Performing
Rashford and Antony have shown signs of life, but Sancho is at risk of seeing his Chelsea stint cut short
United will be hoping that the form of Rashford and Antony will leave them in a stronger position to negotiate substantial transfer fees for them in the summer, as both have looked like new men during their respective loan spells. The Englishman's improved displays saw him earn a recall to the England squad, though his performance against Albania in Thomas Tuchel's first game in charge flattered to deceive.
Meanwhile, Antony has been one of the most in-form players in Spain, with the 25-year-old managing eight goal contributions in 11 appearances for Real Betis. However, the same story cannot be said for Sancho, who has shown no sign of change since his troublesome spell at Old Trafford.
Chelsea have a £25 million obligation to sign the former Borussia Dortmund winger on a permanent basis next term; however, they could pay £5 million to get out of the deal, something they are said to be potentially considering.
