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.

Adam Lawrence insisted Chido Obi remains in a strong place despite dropping out of Manchester United’s senior picture this season.

Casemiro Exit Path Cleared as Manchester United Remove Contract Trigger

Casemiro
March 2026

Manchester United and Casemiro have reportedly agreed to remove a performance-based contract trigger, clearing the way for the midfielder to leave this summer without the club risking an automatic extra year on his deal. The move simplifies his departure and removes any reason to manage his minutes for financial purposes. The reported clause would have activated if Casemiro hit a specific Premier League starts threshold. By waiving it, United can continue selecting him on merit while proceeding with a planned midfield reset, rather than balancing team selection against wage exposure.
