Man Utd plot staggering ‘fire sale’ of £320m stars to fund four new signings

Manchester United are planning to sell several more players this summer in order to fund potential new arrivals, and it could see a group of stars who originally cost the Red Devils £320million be axed, according to reports.

So far this summer, Man Utd have allowed Raphael Varane, Anthony Martial and Brandon Williams to leave following the expiry of their contracts, while also selling Alvaro Fernandez, Donny van de Beek, Mason Greenwood and Willy Kambwala. Man Utd have in turn bolstered Erik ten Hag’s squad with the captures of Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro.

Club chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe is eager to strengthen four more areas of the side, namely centre-back, left-back, centre-forward and central midfield.

Man Utd have identified both Jarrad Branthwaite and Matthijs de Ligt as centre-half targets, but amid uncertainty over those deals they could instead swoop for Chelsea outcast Trevoh Chalobah.

Their main left-back targets have yet to emerge, although Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the position will be improved this summer.

Potential striker additions include Ivan Toney or Dominic Calvert-Lewin, as Ratcliffe attempts to add some Premier League experience to the Man Utd forward line.
