It could be a busy summer of outgoings at Manchester United. Boss Erik ten Hag is reportedly set to oversee a clear out at the end of the season to stick to Financial Fair Play (FFP) guidelines and fund incoming transfers. And up to 13 players could be offloaded, according to media reports.

But in a blow to United, Brighton sensation Evan Ferguson looks set to stay on the south coast. It’s claimed only a mammoth figure will prise the young striker away from the Seagulls, despite Ferguson idolising Wayne Rooney as a child and supporting the Red Devils.

It has been revealed last month that Brighton are planning to reward the 18-year-old for his form with a new deal. Therefore, sales are needed.

It is claimed that club captain Harry Maguire is one of a number of stars who could be sold in the summer. The 30-year-old has fallen down the pecking order under Ten Hag but did start the weekend’s 2-0 win over Everton, and impressed in the process.

Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brandon Williams also reportedly face uncertain futures. Martial has struggled with injury this season and Van de Beek remains sidelined with a knee problem suffered in January. Right-back Wan-Bissaka is another who has been unable to nail down a regular starting spot.

Elsewhere, there are said to be up to twelve teams in the race to sign Anthony Elanga. The 20-year-old has started just five Premier League games this season and is thought to be open to a move. Alex Telles and Eric Bailly, both currently out on loan, could also be moved on for good.

While no further players are named in the report, defenders Victor Lindelof and Phil Jones have both been linked with an exit. And Men reports that Ten Hag is losing patience with winger Jadon Sancho.

Goalkeeper David De Gea is also yet to sign a new deal and has rejected the club’s opening offer, although United are expecting the Spaniard to agree to terms.

The Red Devils are in no rush to sell Scott McTominay, but have slapped a £50 million price tag on the midfielder amid transfer interest, as revealed by SunSport.
