Manchester United has reportedly listed 11 players for sale as Sir Jim Ratcliffe initiates a squad overhaul.

Manchester United’s recent minority shareholder, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is swiftly orchestrating a significant restructuring of Erik ten Hag’s first-team roster, with reports indicating the club’s willingness to offload up to 11 players. This move comes amid the Red Devils’ financial concerns regarding Financial Fair Play regulations, as they aim to generate funds to balance potential summer acquisitions.

According to ESPN, conversations between Ratcliffe and his key associate Sir David Brailsford have predominantly revolved around player departures, emphasizing the necessity to offload numerous high-earning individuals at Old Trafford.
United must adhere to the Premier League’s Profit & Sustainability regulations to avoid facing penalties akin to Everton’s, while Nottingham Forest awaits the resolution of their appeal. Despite having funds earmarked for summer expenditures, expediting the process of restoring the Red Devils to European prominence may necessitate difficult discussions with key personnel.

This could involve notable figures such as Christian Eriksen, Raphael Varane, Casemiro, Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Victor Lindelof, all of whom have made significant contributions to the team’s campaign this season.

Anthony Martial is anticipated to leave on a free transfer, while Manchester United is open to receiving offers for Jadon Sancho, Donny Van de Beek, Facundo Pellistri, and Brandon Williams. The club has encountered challenges in offloading peripheral and surplus players at a pace comparable to their competitors, hindering their ability to make significant investments.

This obstacle thwarted Erik ten Hag’s desire to secure signings such as Harry Kane and Declan Rice during the summer transfer window. United aims to reverse this trend moving forward.
