Manchester United’s squad overhaul this summer is gathering pace as the club prepares for a major transformation under Ruben Amorim’s leadership.
The Red Devils have already lined up a series of departures, with several first-team players expected to leave and generate significant funds for new signings.
While the transfer window is still open, attention is increasingly turning to the future of the club’s academy graduates, who are pivotal for long-term success but face stiff competition for starting spots.

Fans and pundits alike are watching closely to see who will stay and who will move on as United rebuild their core.
One academy product in particular, Kobbie Mainoo, is at the centre of speculation.
Sources close to the young midfielder have revealed that Kobbie Mainoo remains keen to continue his career at Old Trafford, valuing his roots and the opportunity to develop further at the club, as reported by talkSPORT.
However, his recent treatment in the squad is causing some unease.
Mainoo was left on the bench for most of the Europa League final against Tottenham on Wednesday, which has raised questions about his role within Ruben Amorim’s system moving forward.

Despite his ambitions to establish himself as a regular in the first team, there are signs that Amorim’s tactical plans might not align perfectly with Mainoo’s style or experience level just yet.
The club are reportedly aware of the need to manage the player’s development carefully, balancing immediate team needs with longer-term potential.
This could mean considering offers for Mainoo if suitable bids arrive, allowing him to gain vital playing time elsewhere while the club benefits financially.
Manchester United’s summer transfer window promises to be one of the most significant in recent years, with Mainoo’s situation symbolising the wider challenges the club faces as they navigate squad rebuilding, player retention, and financial prudence.
The coming weeks will be crucial in determining which players remain at the club to help Amorim achieve his vision and which will be sold to fund that ambition.
