Four Manchester United players have taken a big step in leaving the club this summer.Another clearout is expected at Man United at the end of the season, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS taking over football operations as part of the businessman’s 25 per cent investment in the club.He’s set to oversee their recruitment network ahead of a potentially busy summer transfer window.But before Man United recruit new talent, they’ll trim their squad to make space for incomings.
Those outgoings will consist of Anthony Martial, Jonny Evans, Tom Heaton and Sofyan Amrabat, who is on loan from Fiorentina.All four players are out of contract this summer and are expected to move on from Man United.Martial, who is currently sidelined through a groin injury, has spent eight-and-a-half years at Man United following his switch from AS Monaco in 2015.
But his time at the club is set to come to an end this summer, with Erik ten Hag deciding not to activate the forward’s extension.The Frenchman has scored just two goals in 19 matches this season.
Evans penned a one-year deal at Man United last September after spending pre-season with the club.
The 36-year-old has made 15 appearances in all competitions but is set to leave the club once his short-term contract expires
Heaton has been on Man United’s books since 2021 and is also out of contract this summer.The goalkeeper, 37, has only played three games for the Red Devils.As for Amrabat, he was snapped up on a season-long loan, with an option to buy for £21.4 million.
But the Moroccan international has failed to make a huge impact, which makes a permanent transfer unlikely as things stand.The 27-year-old, who starred at the 2022 World Cup, has played 10 games in all competitions for Man United this season
