Manchester United’s pre-season has been dominated by outgoings just as much as incomings, with several big names expected to depart Old Trafford in the coming weeks.
Ruben Amorim has already begun reshaping the squad, with key targets like Matheus Cunha already signed and other reinforcements such as Bryan Mbeumo also in the pipeline.
The focus now turns to offloading players who are no longer in the manager’s plans, and United are bracing for interest in multiple fringe players—some of whom spent last season out on loan.

The club is hoping to create financial space for further additions, particularly by trimming the wage bill, which remains one of the highest in Europe.
Among those facing an uncertain future is Jadon Sancho, whose situation has taken a fresh twist following reports from Turkey.
Galatasaray have emerged as a surprise contender for Sancho’s signature this summer, and the Turkish champions are understood to be exploring a deal for the England international, as per Ben Jacobs via The Football Terrace podcast.

Jadon Sancho is expected to leave Old Trafford permanently.
Despite a relatively strong campaign at Chelsea, Sancho’s long-term future clearly lies away from Manchester.
Sources close to Galatasaray suggest that a transfer fee would not be a major stumbling block, with United expected to accept a reasonable offer for a player they signed for £73 million in 2021.
The real challenge will be Sancho’s wages, which are believed to exceed £250,000 per week.
That figure is well beyond what Galatasaray typically offer, and the Turkish side are likely to request that United cover a portion of his salary—unless Sancho agrees to a significant pay cut.
It remains to be seen whether other clubs will enter the race, with interest from Saudi Arabia previously rumoured.
United will be hoping for a swift resolution, especially with Amorim keen to build a balanced and unified squad ahead of the new season.
A sale to Galatasaray could be the ideal outcome for all parties—if the financials can be worked out.
