Manchester United are pressing ahead with their summer transfer plans, with new manager Ruben Amorim tasked with revamping the squad after a disappointing campaign.
Several fringe players are expected to be moved on to free up funds and space, while the club’s recruitment team, led by Jason Wilcox and Christopher Vivell, identifies key targets to match Amorim’s tactical blueprint.
Outgoing deals are expected to be just as significant as the incoming business, with Financial Fair Play compliance forcing the club to offload high earners who have failed to deliver.

One of the players under the spotlight is a Brazilian attacker whose future at Old Trafford remains in doubt following two underwhelming seasons.
According to Florian Plettenberg, Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen are now monitoring Manchester United winger Antony ahead of a possible summer move.
The German side, managed by former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, have added Antony to their list of potential wide options as they plan for a season that includes Champions League football and a Bundesliga title redemption.
Bayer Leverkusen are considering Antony as a potential replacement should Florian Wirtz depart.
While there’s currently no formal offer or negotiations underway, Leverkusen’s interest is notable given Antony’s previous connection with Erik ten Hag — the man who brought him to Old Trafford in 2022 for a fee of over £80 million.
Ten Hag worked with Antony at both Ajax and United, where he was a strong advocate for the Brazilian’s talents.
Despite flashes of quality, Antony has struggled to consistently impress in the Premier League, registering only a handful of goals and assists across two campaigns.

United are open to finding a solution for the winger this summer, and it is reported that they want a permanent deal.
Antony’s agents were reportedly on their way to Seville as talks with Real Betis are set to get underway.
Leverkusen, known for their smart recruitment, are watching developments closely as they weigh up their next move.
It’s still early days, but the fact that Antony is even being monitored by one of Europe’s most in-form clubs suggests that his time at Old Trafford could be entering its final chapter.
