Manchester United are willing to allow six players leave the club this summer window but have told six unhappy squad members to wait before their future can be decided.
The Red devils have made huge progress in the search for their new manager and are now laying the groundwork for Ajax manager Erik ten Hag to replace Ralf Rangnick this summer.
But Ten Hag is set to be welcomed by a major overhaul as United are ready to revamp the team and move several first-team players on.
According to the Daily Mirror, United have already told Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Cavani, Juan Mata, Tahith Chong and Lee Grant that they can leave when their contracts expire at the end of the campaign.
The report also claims that Anthony Martial, Van de Beek, Dean Henderson, Phil Jones, Axel Tuanzebe and Eric Bailly are ready to leave Old Trafford this summer.
But, those six must wait until the closing stages of the summer transfer window as United are unwilling to offload them until new signings have been made.
United have also reportedly told United’s unhappy group of players that they will get the opportunity to impress Ten Hag before a decision is made over their futures.
Earlier this week, reports in the Netherlands claimed that Ten Hag is keen to bring Ajax’s 20-year-old centre-back Jurrien Timber with him to the theatre of dreams.
But United are also expected to be in the market for a new striker to replace Cavani and compete with Cristiano Ronaldo, whose future is still uncertain with the club potentially missing out on Champions League football next campaign.
A new midfielder is also on United’s shortlist, although James Garner will be given the chance to impress Ten Hag after turning heads during his loan spell with Nottingham Forest this season.
United are also hopeful that Ten Hag’s arrival will spark the revival of Marcus Rashford’s form after his shocking drop in performance levels in the last few months.
