This major update does not only apply to potential incomings though, with exits abroad for players to raise funds now able to be completed. Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood are both expected to move on permanently this summer with interest strong in the duo.

Juventus recently switched their focus from Greenwood to Sancho with United said to be demanding £40million for the latter. Greenwood meanwhile, has been linked with a move to Spain, Italy and France as Marseille are the latest club to make a move for the £30m-rated attacker.

United selling either of those players at the aforementioned prices could go a long way to sealing further marquee deals down the line with Branthwaite and Neves still of interest.
