Amorim may 'capitalise' on chance to sell 'unwanted' stars as three exits touted

Manchester United could reportedly still find ways of getting rid of players that Ruben Amorim does not want in his squad for this season.

Manchester United could still get rid of three star such as Harry Maguire before the closure of the Saudi Arabian and Turkish transfer windows, the latest report has claimed.

Boss Ruben Amorim has finally had the opportunity to mould his squad, with attackers Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko the most notable arrivals this summer.

While many fans are excited about the potential impact of the club's new signings, the Portuguese coach has also overseen a mass exodus of stars.

Forwards Antony, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho have all departed, while further exits are also rumoured.

The Manchester Evening News claim that Andre Onana, Tyrell Malacia and Maguire all have suitors in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, whose windows close on September 12 and September 23 respectively.

Who will leave Ruben Amorim's Manchester United squad?

Onana has strongly been linked with a loan move to Turkish side Trabzonspor, and considering Senne Lammens was brought to Old Trafford, it is difficult to see the shot-stopper being satisfied as third choice.

Malacia has endured difficulties off the pitch, experiencing serious injury issues during his time as a United player, with the left-back mising out on the entire 2023-24 campaign.

Turkish Super Lig club Eyupspor are said to have submitted an offer to the Red Devils for Malacia, though they have reportedly only offered to take the 26-year-old on loan.

Maguire has been a key part of Amorim's back three, and his exit is unlikely, though it would be wise to plan for a future without the England international sooner rather than later given he is 32.

Manchester United sales: Why are the club so poor at selling players?

Many of United's exits this summer were either for free or on loan, with players such as Rashford set to return to the club at the end of the season.

The Red Devils' biggest sale of the summer was Garnacho to Chelsea for £40m, but Antony was the only other player to bring in fee this summer when he was sold for £20m to Real Betis given the likes of Rasmus Hojlund have left on loan with an obligation to buy.

United have often struggled to move on their stars due to the fact they had been given lucrative deals that other teams are unable to afford, or because of the significant transfer fees paid to bring them to Old Trafford in the first place.

Perhaps the addition of younger players like Sesko on cheaper contracts will help the club sell for higher fees in the future.
