The Red Devils are closing in on a top four spot that would give them the crucial boost of Champions League football for next season and strengthen their hand in the transfer market this summer.

It’s already been confirmed that Casemiro will be leaving on a free transfer when his Man Utd contract expires at the end of this season.

On top of that, ESPN report that United will be ready to listen to offers for Manuel Ugarte, while Bruno Fernandes has a £57m release clause and faces an uncertain future.

Manchester United’s top three midfield transfer targets

Fans wondering how to buy Manchester United vs Aston Villa tickets will likely be aware that they’re set to watch the likes of Casemiro and possibly Fernandes in one of their final few appearances for the club.

Next season, it could be an entirely new MUFC midfield trio, with various reports linking them with Nottingham Forest duo Elliot Anderson and Morgan Gibbs White, as well as with Brighton’s Carlos Baleba.

That would likely represent a considerable outlay for United, but they’ll have more money to spend if they get back into the Champions League and make some sales.

How Manchester United could line up next season

If United get these deals done, we could see a very different and much stronger looking line up at Old Trafford next season.

While the club may also strengthen in other positions at some point, here’s a look at their starting XI with that new midfield three…

As many as nine players could leave Manchester United this summer as some come to the ends of their contracts, while the club are also open to offers for others.

According to ESPN, it seems Man Utd could be prepared to let some flop signings go, with the likes of Andre Onana, Mason Mount, Joshua Zirkzee, Rasmus Hojlund, and Manuel Ugarte available.

On top of that, Casemiro, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia are all about to become free agents, while there’s hope that Marcus Rashford will either make his loan to Barcelona permanent or find another club.

It remains to be seen if United will succeed in offloading all of these players, but it certainly looks like it could be a big summer of change at Old Trafford.

Manchester United need a clear-out, but could this be too many exits at once?

There’s no doubt United need to make changes to this squad, with too many poor performers currently sitting on big wages.

At the same time, however, it could be a big upheaval if so many players leave at once, with MUFC perhaps at risk of losing some squad depth.

With Casemiro, for example, already confirmed as leaving at the end of his contract, it could perhaps be unwise to also offload Ugarte, who might be a decent backup option, even if he’s mostly proven disappointing during his time in English football so far.
