Manchester United is expected to earn more than 100 million pounds when planning to rebuild the squad in the summer transfer window of 2026, with a series of key players facing the possibility of leaving Old Trafford.
Currently ranked third in the Premier League, the Old Trafford team has a great opportunity to return to the Champions League. If they participate in the group stage, they can earn at least 16 million pounds, and this number could increase to more than 40 million pounds if they go deep.
However, in parallel with the goal of strengthening the force, the "Red Devils" also plan to purify the squad. Five notable names including Manuel Ugarte, Joshua Zirkzee, Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford can all leave the team on official transfers.
In which, Rashford - currently playing for Barcelona on loan - has a buyout clause worth 26 million pounds. Although the Catalan team wants to keep him, Man United has no intention of reducing the price and is ready to find another partner if needed.
In the opposite direction, Hojlund could bring in a large sum of money if Napoli wins a Champions League ticket, thereby activating a buyout clause worth 38 million pounds.
Besides, Ugarte and Zirkzee do not have many opportunities to play this season, while Onana's future becomes precarious after the appearance of young goalkeeper Senne Lammens. All three are expected to attract attention from European teams, especially in Serie A.
In addition, the expiration of contracts of Casemiro, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia also helped release a significant salary fund to serve the reconstruction.
Regarding the addition plan, Man United prioritizes upgrading the midfield, while looking for a left winger and a left defender to complete the squad for the new season.
The "Red Devils" are stepping up their squad upgrade plan with a series of notable goals, aiming for a new season when they are likely to return to the European arena.
In the midfielder position, they prioritize adding at least two names. Carlos Baleba of Brighton is still on the list to pursue after last summer's deal failed. Besides, Elliot Anderson of Nottingham Forest is also a top target.
In addition, Joao Gomes of Wolves is considered a more economical option, especially if Wolves are relegated, while Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace is also in sight.
On the left wing, Yan Diomande of RB Leipzig emerged as a priority target. This 19-year-old player possesses speed, dribbling ability and great development potential. Meanwhile, Iliman Ndiaye of Everton also impressed with stable form in the Premier League.
In the wing-back position, Lewis Hall of Newcastle United is a name closely watched after a sublime season. In addition, Nathaniel Brown of Eintracht Frankfurt also entered the list, with impressive achievements in the Bundesliga.
With the orientation of rejuvenating the squad and increasing the depth of the force, Man United is showing careful preparation for a transfer window that is predicted to be very exciting.
