According to a mass summer clear-out is being planned by INEOS' sports hierarchy as they are determined to get rid of dead wood in an attempt to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations and reduce the club's soaring wage bill.

Among the players on the chopping block is Brazilian forward Antony, whose underwhelming performance since his £86 million transfer from Ajax 18 months ago has forced United to open their doors for potential offers. Other high-profile names potentially facing exits include Casemiro, Jadon Sancho, Mason Greenwood, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Victor Lindelof.

Additionally, United are considering parting ways with players currently out on loan, such as Donny van de Beek, Facundo Pellistri, Hannibal Mejbri, and Alvaro Fernandez. The departure of Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial, whose contracts expire on June 30, are also on the cards, along with the possible exits of Jonny Evans and Tom Heaton, who would hit free agency if not offered new terms.

DID YOU KNOW?

The clear-out is seen as a crucial step for United to get fresh reinforcement in the summer. The club is expected to prioritize getting a striker, central midfielder, right-back, and at least one centre-back.

It is alleged that Sir Dave Brailsford and Ratcliffe are keen to "address the massive misspend" as the starting line-up against Fulham cost £357m ($453m) – while those that didn't make the cut accounted for £519m ($658.41m).

As United prepare for a significant sporting overhaul, the focus shifts to the impending squad rebuild and the club's ability to achieve success under new ownership. The Red Devils have already made significant changes in the administrative hierarchy including the appointment of Omar Berrada as CEO and the potential recruitment of Dan Ashworth from Newcastle to lead the football department, replacing John Murtough. The team rebuilding procedure is just an extension of the current efforts to bring back the glory days at Old Trafford.
