Contract Situations and Potential Departures:



- Harry Maguire, Casemiro, and Scott McTominay are set to be out of contract in 2026. Last season, Maguire was linked with a move to West Ham. United is keen to offload him to cover his substantial weekly wages.
- Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelöf, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka will see their contracts expire in 2025. The club is looking to sell them soon to generate funds.
- Casemiro has been linked with Saudi clubs after a disappointing season. United might consider offers if his performance does not improve.
- Antony, whose contract runs until 2027, has also not met expectations. Manchester United is contemplating a loan move for the costly signing to reassess his future.
Manchester United’s Midfield Revamp in the Works
After securing the services of Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee, Manchester United’s new transfer committee has shifted its focus to the midfield. The Red Devils are reportedly honing in on 23-year-old Manuel Ugarte.
Who is Manuel Ugarte?

Manuel Ugarte, a 23-year-old Uruguayan, currently plays as a holding midfielder for PSG in Ligue 1. While he is not known for his attacking prowess or goal-scoring, his defensive capabilities are noteworthy. According to reports, the Uruguay international has already agreed on personal terms ahead of his potential move to Old Trafford. Sources suggest that Ugarte is not favored by PSG coach Luis Enrique, which resulted in fewer starts last season, prompting his desire to join Manchester United.
In addition to Ugarte, the Red Devils are also considering Real Sociedad’s defensive midfielder Martin Zubimendi and free agent Adrien Rabiot.
