Manchester United‘s squad is set for an overhaul this summer with a host of their players on the market.

Mason Greenwood, who has been away at Getafe on loan, is poised to move on, but the Red Devils want to maximise their profit for the academy graduate. Even captain and talisman Bruno Fernandes could yet depart with his contract saga still playing out.




Sir Jim Ratcliffe has his first opportunity to make an impact on the playing group having bought in several individuals at board level and off the pitch. Recruitment is an area where the Manchester outfit have often fallen short and, following their FA Cup success, more signings are expected.

Here’s the latest from Old Trafford.

Greenwood’s next move

Greenwood is edging closer to a permanent Manchester exit with Juventus nearing a summer capture.

The forward has been on loan at Getafe for the past season and showed what he’s capable of, which grabbed the attention of several of Europe’s top clubs. La Gazzetta dello Sport claim that United would be prepared to shake hands on a deal with the Italian outfit should their valuation of the player, roughly €35-40million (£30-34m), be met this summer.

United have accepted that an exit is the only solution when it comes to Greenwood and there was no shortage of suitors. Spanish giants Barcelona and Atletico Madrid were both keen but the Bianconeri look to have won the race for the Englishman.

United failed with a late bid to hijack Tosin Adarabioyo’s move to Chelsea. The sought-after defender was a free agent after running his contract down at Fulham and has been linked with a host of the Premier League’s top clubs in recent months.
