Manchester United open to offers for first-team squad as Sir Jim Ratcliffe aims for major honours

Manchester United are set to undergo a major squad overhaul this summer as they look to rebuild and challenge for major honors under the ownership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe. The club is reportedly willing to listen to offers for almost all their first-team players, including star striker Marcus Rashford.

Despite being on the transfer list, sources within the club are keen to keep Rashford and help him regain the form that saw him score 30 goals last season. Paris St-Germain has been linked with the England international, but it remains uncertain if they will make a move for the 26-year-old.

Manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly exempting young talents like Rasmus Hojlund, Kobbie Mainoo, and Alejandro Garnacho from potential sales. However, it would take a significant offer for the club to consider selling key players like Bruno Fernandes, Andre Onana, and Diogo Dalot.

The club’s financial situation, coupled with the need to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules, means they will be looking to maximize transfer fees this summer. Experienced players like Anthony Martial, Raphael Varane, and Sofyan Amrabat are expected to leave as their contracts expire.

Midfielders Christian Eriksen and Casemiro have had disappointing campaigns and could also be on their way out. Young talents like Mason Greenwood and Jadon Sancho are also likely to depart, with any fee for Greenwood seen as profit due to his homegrown status.

The future of manager Erik ten Hag is also under scrutiny, with potential interest from Ajax for a return to the Dutch giants. United may have to make a decision on offering him a contract extension as his current deal expires in 2025. Sources suggest it may be the 2025-26 season before the club can truly flex their muscles in the transfer market once again.
