Man United overhaul: Antony, top stars on the chopping block!
Man United are seriously making moves in the current transfer window. And if it isn’t clear yet, they are about to get bolder in the transfer market, according to an exclusive report.
The club has not only secured promising talents like Lille’s 18-year-old defender Leny Yoro for a whopping £58.9 million and Joshua Zirkzee earlier this month for £36.5 million, but they are also planning a significant clear-out.
Recent reports suggest that Man United is open to offers for several key players, including Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelöf, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Scott McTominay, and Christian Eriksen—all of whom have contracts running until 2025. Even Casemiro, despite having two years left on his deal, is reportedly available for the right price.

Transfer: The future of Mason Greenwood as it stands
How Manchester United got away with Leny Yoro
The most surprising name on the potential exit list is Antony. The Brazilian winger, who joined from Ajax for a staggering £86 million, has struggled to find his footing at Old Trafford. The club is now allegedly willing to part ways with him, provided a suitor can cover his £70,000-a-week wages.
This sweeping change marks a departure from the Glazers’ previous transfer policy.
A source told ESPN, “Joel and Avram [Glazer] would be happy to get rid of Wan-Bissaka or Lindelöf. But they would look at the numbers and ask, ‘How much could we get for them and how much would it cost to replace them?'”
The report continued,
“When they were told that it would cost half as much to keep the players until the end of their contract rather than get rid and sign a replacement, the answer would always be to keep them for another year. They would rather pay £10m in wages and lose the player on a free than spend an extra £20m to sign a better player to replace them.”
With Mason Greenwood already securing a move to Marseille, it seems Man United are ready for a massive overhaul as they reshape their squad for the future.
