🚨 MASSIVE SHAKE-UP: Seven United Stars Up for Sale as Ratcliffe Greenlights £400m January Spend
Manchester United are braced for one of the biggest transfer overhauls in their history — with seven senior players put on the market and six new arrivals already lined up.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has sanctioned another £400m war chest for new boss Ruben Amorim, setting the stage for a ruthless rebuild at Old Trafford after a stuttering start to the 2025/26 campaign.
Seven Out
United’s exit list features some big names. Casemiro, Harry Maguire, Antony and Eddie Nketiah are among those tipped to move on, with two defenders and a midfielder also losing Amorim’s trust.
Club insiders say the focus is on clearing wages and resetting the squad culture — even if that means accepting cut-price deals. “Sentiment no longer has a place at Old Trafford,” one senior figure admitted.
Six In
On the incoming side, United have already moved deep into negotiations for a new goalkeeper, centre-back, two midfielders and two attackers.
Names strongly linked include João Neves (Benfica), Gonçalo Inácio (Sporting), and Donyell Malen (Dortmund), while sources suggest at least one surprise Premier League signing is also on the cards.
Ratcliffe’s aim? A mix of proven experience and hungry young talent who can thrive under Amorim’s high-intensity style.
Ratcliffe’s Ruthless Vision
Since taking charge of football operations, Ratcliffe has vowed to be uncompromising. The extra £400m backing underlines his intent: United will no longer paper over the cracks.
“This rebuild will be ruthless — but it’s the only way back to the top,” one insider told Sky.
Fans Divided
Supporters have exploded with reaction online. Some hail Ratcliffe’s bold approach:
“Seven out, six in — finally someone’s got the guts to clear the deadwood!”
Others remain cautious:
“We’ve heard this before. Until players leave and new ones arrive, it’s just words.”
January: Make or Break
All eyes now turn to January. With seven departures, six arrivals and £400m on the table, United’s season — and perhaps their long-term future — could hinge on this window.
One thing’s for sure: Old Trafford is braced for fireworks.
