Reports suggest that Manchester United is willing to consider offers for nearly all of its first-team squad this upcoming transfer window.
The club is bracing for a significant transformation, with doubts surrounding Erik ten Hag’s managerial tenure and the anticipated departures of Anthony Martial and Raphael Varane on free transfers.

Manchester United’s financial situation is expected to worsen, especially if they fail to secure a spot in the next season’s Champions League.
The Telegraph indicates that the club is open to negotiations for most of its first-team players, except for Rasmus Hojlund, Kobbie Mainoo, and Alejandro Garnacho, who are deemed indispensable.
While there’s no active pursuit to sell Marcus Rashford, the club is open to considering substantial offers for the forward, who has contributed eight goals across all competitions this season.
Decisions loom for Mason Greenwood and Jadon Sancho as well, both of whom are making a strong impression during their loan periods at Getafe and Borussia Dortmund, respectively.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who recently acquired a stake in the club, has pointed out that Financial Fair Play regulations will influence Manchester United’s dealings in the summer transfer market.
‘Ultimately FFP says you have to operate the club within its own means. And, effectively, it takes into account your prior expenditure, and the club’s spent quite heavily in the last couple of seasons,’ Ratcliffe said.
‘So that does impact FFP going forward, because they’ve used quite a large part of their allowance.
‘It’s obviously related to sales as well as purchases, and so we need to get our heads around that well before the summer window, so we understand the number but there’s no question that history will impact this summer window.’
Manchester United is reportedly monitoring Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi with interest.
Additionally, the club is anticipated to pursue a new forward, following Erik ten Hag’s acknowledgment that Financial Fair Play rules prevented any acquisitions during the January transfer period.
