Manchester United will hold a firesale in the wake of their Europa League disaster in Bilbao.
United bosses will listen to offers for every single player this summer - including captain Bruno Fernandes. The crushing loss to Tottenham in the final saw United blow a place in the Champions League - and a £100m jackpot.
It means United will not be in European competition at all next season and face missing out on signing some of their leading targets, which include Liam Delap, Matheus Cunha and Victor Osimhen.
Due to crippling financial constraints, United have to sell to raise funds for Ruben Amorim to strengthen his squad - provided he survives the sack. And no one in the United squad will be spared, provided the price is right.
It means high-profile stars including Casemiro, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Andre Onana, Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund and Fernandes will be sold to the highest bidders.

While United are also desperate to offload Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho, who have been on-loan at other clubs this season.
Rashford is desperate to leave following a complete breakdown in his relationship with Amorim and the club, and is holding out for a move to Barcelona.
Garnacho, who was left seething at being left out of the starting XI to face Tottenham, is attracting interest from Napoli and Chelsea.

While Sancho will return to United this summer, with his Chelsea future looking in doubt, but will be offloaded because he is one of the club's highest-paid stars.

Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS cronies, including Sir Dave Brailsford, will oversee the massive squad overhaul this summer.
The United squad will embark on a gruelling post-season tour of Malaysia and Hong Kong straight after Sunday's final game of the season against Aston Villa at Old Trafford. But upon returning to Manchester, club bosses will begin the huge task of selling all those deemed dispensable.
