BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United Owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe Puts FIVE First-Team Players on SALE with SIX Incoming Confirmed – Busy Transfer Window for the English Gaffer

 

 

In a seismic shake-up at Old Trafford, Manchester United’s co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has launched a bold and aggressive overhaul of the squad, placing five senior first-team players up for sale while confirming six new arrivals ahead of what promises to be the most transformative transfer window in years.

 

With the backing of INEOS and a newly empowered football operations team, United are entering the 2025/26 season with a clear goal: restore the club’s identity, bring back silverware, and eliminate dead weight. After years of stagnation and underperformance, this summer marks a major turning point — one that fans have long been demanding.

 

Five Players Headed for the Exit Door

 

According to multiple sources close to the club, five senior players have been made available for permanent transfer or loan-to-buy deals. These include high earners, underperformers, and players deemed incompatible with new manager Rúben Amorim’s tactical vision.

 

Here’s the current list of outgoing players:

 

1. Jadon Sancho – Once signed as the club’s marquee winger from Borussia Dortmund, Sancho’s time at United has been plagued by inconsistency and off-pitch issues. A fallout with the previous coaching staff saw him banished from the squad, and despite a loan spell back in Germany, Amorim does not see him in his long-term plans.

 

 

2. Harry Maguire – The former captain and world’s most expensive defender has fallen down the pecking order. Though he featured under Erik ten Hag at times, his style of play is seen as incompatible with Amorim’s high-line, press-intensive system.

 

 

3. Anthony Martial – After nearly a decade at the club, Martial’s United journey is coming to an end. Injuries and inconsistent form have marred his career, and with his contract winding down, United are seeking buyers across Europe and the Middle East.

 

 

4. Donny van de Beek – The Dutch midfielder arrived with promise but never found his footing at Old Trafford. Despite multiple loan moves, he has failed to rediscover the form he showed at Ajax. A permanent move away is now a priority.

 

 

5. Aaron Wan-Bissaka – A reliable defender under certain systems, Wan-Bissaka’s lack of attacking output does not suit Amorim’s preference for overlapping full-backs. With Diogo Dalot now firmly ahead of him and new right-backs incoming, he’s been made available for transfer.

 

 

 

These departures are not merely cost-cutting — they are symbolic. Ratcliffe and Amorim are showing that sentimentality no longer drives decisions. It’s performance, fit, and ambition that matter now.

 

Six Incoming Signings Confirmed

 

While outgoings are crucial to balance the books and trim the wage bill, it’s the arrivals that have fans buzzing. United have already secured six deals — a mix of youth, proven talent, and system-specific profiles. The confirmed incomings are:

 

1. João Neves (Benfica) – A midfield maestro and Portuguese sensation, Neves is seen as the future of United’s midfield. At just 20, he brings composure, press resistance, and an eye for a killer pass. The deal, worth around £55 million, is a clear sign of Amorim’s influence on recruitment.

 

 

2. Gonça
