Man United are on a low note in the race for the Premier League Top 4, they need to speed up in the later stages of the season if they want to end the match with a Champions League ticket in hand for next season. In the context of having too many variables like Aston Villa, Man United understands that their task this season is difficult to overcome last season.
Manchester United's board are ready to accept offers in January 2024 regarding player sales. According to Manchester evening News, 5 players are ready to leave if they are offered, which are Raphael Varane, Casemiro, Anthony Martial, Jadon Sancho and Donny van de Beek.
Man United is not in a financial danger, so if they sell players, it is not necessarily for the reason of balancing revenue and expenditure. In addition, this group of 5 players is subject to good offers, they will be put on the scale. Otherwise, they are still considered normal factors, still given opportunities if they are in good form.
After Everton were deducted 10 points, Man United and some other teams such as Chelsea are feeling sweating. M.U needs to calculate further when in the group of 5 players who are about to liquidate, in addition to Van de Beek, the remaining 4 people are receiving very high salaries, in which Sancho still has a very long contract, so that in the long run, they can become a financial slow-burning bomb.
Varane is 30 years old this year, not old enough to be a central defender but he is often injured. Varane's peak has stopped at Real Madrid and he is gradually coming to the end of the slope at Old Trafford. The French centre-back has only started 1 of the "Red Devils" in the last 13 matches.
Earlier this month, Erik ten Hag confirmed that Van de Beek could freely find a new destination. Meanwhile, the Dutch strategist's official information about Jadon Sancho has not been announced after the "mental illness" scandal in September. Some major news sites, including Sky Sports, said that the English striker, after nearly 3 months of facing Ten Hag, now wants to choose a dialogue way, thereby finding a way back to the Manchester United squad.
However, whether Sancho likes it or not, in recent times, Man United has considered that they no longer need the appearance of the former Dortmund star. If Sancho has some proposals this January, it is not necessary to be too good, M.U will immediately disburse this debt.
Casemiro has returned to training and could play in the final match of the Champions League group stage against Bayern Munich. This year, he is 31 years old and has a higher frequency of injuries, the Brazilian star cannot be considered a mainstay of the team because his dedication is constantly interrupted. It is very difficult for Casemiro to buy a big team in Europe. Maybe when he leaves Old Trafford, he will return home to play for the rest of his career.
Martial is 28 years old this year and has only scored 18 goals since the beginning of the 2020-2021 season. The French striker's current contract with the Old Trafford team is valid until the summer of 2024 from January, Martial can freely negotiate with any team.
If the former AS Monaco star found a new destination in January, it would be considered that he had given M.U a small gift to thank for their training in transfer money. To lose Martial for free, although not too regrettable at the moment, still left a mark on Man United.
