Manchester United are set to revamp their squad in the summer transfer window
Manchester United are set for a summer of change as the end of the season approaches. The team’s win over Liverpool ensured Champions League qualification and attention will soon turn to revamping their squad.
While Michael Carrick waits to see if he will remain United manager next season, there are several players who could leave in the summer. With just three matches remaining, it is possible some have already played their final game for the club.
The transfer window will provide an opportunity for those already on the fringes to seek moves elsewhere as the United hierarchy focuses on bringing in new signings. Here is a look at nine players who could be set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the campaign.

Marcus Rashford
The forward has been the subject of transfer speculation since joining Barcelona on loan last season. The Catalan club have the option to make his move permanent for around £26million and Rashford has been clear about his desire to stay at the Camp Nou.
If Barcelona decide against making his move permanent, there will be plenty of other suitors for the England international, who has scored 13 goals and provided 14 assists during his loan spell. While it is still possible he could remain at United, it feels inevitable that Rashford is set to finally part ways with his boyhood club.
Manuel Ugarte
The midfielder has not had the desired impact since joining from PSG in 2024. The 25-year-old should be primed to take Casemiro’s spot next season but has struggled to show his best form during his time in English football.
Ugarte has already been linked with a move to AC Milan and would only fall further down the pecking order if he stays at Old Trafford. He has started eight league games this term and could benefit from a fresh start elsewhere to rejuvenate his career.
Joshua Zirkzee
Joshua Zirkzee has failed to establish himself as a first team regular in his two years at United. The Netherlands international has scored nine goals in 72 appearances and has seen several forwards leapfrog him in the pecking order.
The 25-year-old previously attracted interest during the January transfer window and has continued to struggle for minutes during Carrick’s reign. A return to Italy could help the former Bologna star regain form.
Altay Bayindir
The former Fenerbahce goalkeeper would have had ambitions of becoming United’s first-choice. However, Senne Lammens’ subsequent success has delivered a major blow to those aims this season.
The 28-year-old has not featured since Lammens was snapped up from Royal Antwerp. While next season could offer more opportunities for Bayindir, the experienced shot-stopper may wish to prove himself as the number one for another club.
Rasmus Hojlund
The young striker is set to leave United on a permanent basis in the summer. Hojlund joined Napoli on loan, who have an obligation to sign him for £38m if the club secure a Champions League place.
Antonio Conte’s side are second in Serie A and eight points ahead of fifth-placed Como, meaning qualification is virtually guaranteed with three games to go. The Denmark international, who completed a big-money move to United in 2023, has scored 14 goals this term.
Jadon Sancho
The winger was a marquee signing when joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2021. Sancho has played just 81 games for United and is currently on loan at Aston Villa, his third spell away from the club.
He is set to become a free agent in the summer and has been linked with a return to Dortmund. The 26-year-old flourished for the German side early in his career and briefly returned on loan in 2024.
Andre Onana
The former United number one is unlikely to regain his place next season. Lammens has thrived after being brought in as Onana’s replacement last year.
The Cameroon international has since impressed on loan at Trabzonspor as he looks to get his career back on track. The former Ajax and Inter Milan should not be short of offers, given his vast experience.
Tyrell Malacia
The full-back is set to leave United at the end of his contract this summer. The 26-year-old, who has been at the club since 2022, has featured just twice this term.
Tom Heaton
The veteran goalkeeper is another whose deal is up at the end of the season. The 40-year-old has been third choice since rejoining United in 2021, last featuring in February 2023.
