After an internal club investigation, the decision was taken to send Greenwood out on loan but could now be prepared to let him leave permanently.

Meanwhile, Sancho’s time at the club seems to have come to an end after his public falling out with manager ten Hag. 

Furthermore, youngsters such as Fernandez, Mejbri and Pellistri have all been on loan this year but haven’t kicked on and are unlikely to retain a place in United’s squad for the next campaign. 

Forson is one of the few players who has remained at United in 2023-24 but has played just three times for the Red Devils in the league this campaign.
