Man wand: United are selling players this summer at a good time, with almost half of a team's players likely to leave

Manchester Evening News reported that Manchester United will be in a better position to sell players this year, and if circumstances allow they can cut almost half of the team's players this summer. Five players will be on contract to expire in June, and at least four more players will want to leave in the winter window.

Van de Beek's next performance will determine whether he will stay in the squad, Phil Jones may be sold, Bailey has had a difficult experience at Manchester United and Dean Henderson also faces a choice. If Martial does well at Sevilla, United could raise his selling price. Andreas Pereira's contract expires in 2023 and United will need to consider whether to sell him this year. Tuanzebe has been on loan four times and it remains in doubt whether United will extend Tassi Chung's contract on loan.

Currently, United have 13 players who could be removed from the first-team list on the club's website. If United fail to qualify for the Champions League, it will result in financial losses for the club. It would be unrealistic for any club to settle the contract issues of so many players in one summer, and United have been criticised in this regard since Ferguson's retirement.

United sources believe the team is in a better position this year to sell players than in previous years. United have yet to receive a formal offer from another team for Pogba, whose indulgence in the player has deterred potential buyers, and United's decision to renew his contract has protected the future of some of the players who can be sold. United need to adopt a more aggressive strategy in the seller's market so that buyers' clubs can better weigh players they want and don't want, and it's time for United to make a decision.
