Manchester United’s summer plans are beginning to take shape, with multiple outgoing and incoming deals expected under new boss Ruben Amorim.
While the club continues to pursue top targets such as Viktor Gyokeres and Bryan Mbeumo, several fringe players are also being lined up for exits to trim the wage bill and balance Financial Fair Play figures.
Jason Wilcox and Christopher Vivell are spearheading United’s off-field restructure, with a greater focus on strategic loans and sell-on clauses to protect the club’s long-term assets.

One such situation is nearing a critical stage this week, as discussions accelerate over the future of a high-profile South American who failed to live up to expectations.
According to Diario de Sevilla, Manchester United winger Antony could be on the verge of securing a second loan move to Real Betis — with his representatives flying to Spain to push talks forward.
Antony’s legal team, led by Cristiano Torelli and Junior Pedroso, will travel to Seville alongside the Brazilian’s brother and agent Emerson Santos to meet with Betis officials in person.
Real Betis, managed by Manuel Pellegrini, are reportedly “pining” for the Brazilian’s return and want him in place before pre-season to ensure he hits the ground running.

Their plan involves securing another season-long loan, which includes the possibility of a second loan extension and a percentage of his rights — but not a full permanent deal due to cost.
Signing Antony outright remains out of reach for the Spanish club, with United’s initial transfer fee and wages deemed too steep to match.
Nonetheless, Betis are eager to act quickly and avoid a late scramble, and Manchester United are believed to be open to the proposal if the financial structure benefits all parties.
Contacts have been ongoing for several weeks but will intensify in the coming days, with a meeting scheduled between Betis and United to hash out the details.
While Antony is currently on international duty with Brazil, his future is being handled behind the scenes — and all sides are now hopeful that a solution will be found soon.
A second chance in Seville could offer the Brazilian a fresh start — and United a much-needed resolution.
