Eight members of Manchester United have contracts that expire in the summer of 2020 and will not be renewed: midfielder Victor Lindelof, attacker Anthony Martial, defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka, midfielder Hannibal Mejbri, midfielder Jonny Evans, and goalkeeper Tom Heaton.

The two players, midfielder Sofyan Amrabat and defender Sergio Reguilon, who are now on loan, have to return to their parent club.

Surprisingly, in addition to the eight players whose contracts have expired, Manchester United has also chosen to sell seven players who are still under contract in order to increase the “Red Devils” transfer budget.

Jadon Sancho, an English attacker, will likely be the first person sacked in the near future because Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has been banning him for the entire time. According to reports, Juventus and Saudi Arabian teams are interested in this 23-year-old striker.

Two former Real Madrid players, Raphael Varane and Casemiro, are also expected to leave after suffering from persistent injuries and drastically losing form.

In particular, after having outstanding seasons, midfielders Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire were cut the next year. Finally, striker Antony and midfielder Donny van de Beek were two players that struggled to adapt to the Premier League style of play.
