Manchester United have had a hectic summer, splashing over £200 million on new signings, including Diego Leon, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbuemo, and Benjamin Šeško. Now, attention turns to potential departures. The club could generate significant revenue from player sales, with seven players reportedly set to leave, partly following their early exit from the League Cup against a fourth-tier side.

Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho has been searching for a new club all summer. His closest move could be to Italian side AS Roma, who are reportedly willing to pay €23 million, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. This may be his final chance to leave Old Trafford before the end of the transfer window.

Antony

Several clubs have shown interest in Antony, including Villarreal, Atlético Madrid, and Bayer Leverkusen. The Brazilian winger, however, prefers a return to Real Betis. The Sun reports that Betis are expected to pay £33 million for the attacker.

Altay Bayindir

Goalkeeper Altay Bayindir’s future remains uncertain. United are close to signing Senne Lammens from Antwerp, while Bayindir has reportedly rejected a move to Galatasaray, according to Turkish Football.

Alejandro Garnacho

Chelsea are reportedly close to signing Alejandro Garnacho for between £35–40 million, according to The Telegraph. The 21-year-old Argentine, who has had a falling out with manager Ruben Amorim, is said to be very optimistic about joining Enzo Maresca’s side, with Fabrizio Romano suggesting the transfer could be confirmed this week.

Rasmus Hojlund

Rasmus Hojlund is another player on the verge of leaving. Napoli are leading the race for the Danish striker and are reportedly looking at a loan with an obligation to buy for €45 million. Sky Sport Italia reports that both Napoli and United are confident of reaching an agreement.

Tyrell Malacia

Defender Tyrell Malacia could move on loan to Spanish side Elche. According to Matteo Moretto, the club has already held talks with the player, who is enthusiastic about the move, as it would offer him the game time he desperately needs.

Kobbie Mainoo

Kobbie Mainoo is open to leaving United and prefers a move abroad. After being limited to the bench in the first two matches, both Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid have reportedly expressed interest, according to the Mail. The Athletic adds that United would be willing to sell for £45 million or potentially less.
