Manchester United are planning a major squad clear-out as part of a broader summer rebuild, with reports saying the club hope to raise more than £100 million through departures. The outgoing list is said to include several senior names as United try to free funds and wages for key additions. More than eight senior players could leave, while separate tabloid-linked reporting named Marcus Rashford, Andre Onana, Joshua Zirkzee, Manuel Ugarte and Rasmus Hojlund among those potentially available. Casemiro’s exit is already part of that wider midfield reshaping, and Elliot Anderson remains one of the names linked as a possible replacement.

Manchester United have reportedly held a private meeting with Bruno Guimaraes’ representatives as they search for Casemiro’s successor. The Newcastle midfielder is now being treated as a leading target, with his Premier League pedigree and profile seen as a strong fit for United’s planned midfield rebuild. Reports say United believe Guimaraes could be attainable for around £60 million if Newcastle miss out on Europe and face financial pressure. Sandro Tonali is also being monitored, but Guimaraes currently appears to be the more advanced option in United’s internal planning
