Manchester United are in freefall as the Premier League giants go from bad to worse with each passing week.

On the pitch, the Red Devils are slipping and sliding down the tableRuben Amorim had warned of a storm and they’ve been blown into uncharted waters. Amorim’s side now sit 15th – something inconceivable for more than 50 years.

You have to go all the way back to 1973-74, the year United were relegated under Tommy Docherty, to find a United team this bad. Amorim himself suggested his players might be the worst outfit ever at Old Trafford.

Away from the pitch, redundancies and penny pinching has been the order of the day under co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. And those cuts have extended to the first team squad, with the INEOS chief appearing to be willing to sell every first team player – for the right price.

With that in mind, Daily Star Sport, with the help of a supercomputer, has a look at the entire Manchester United squad and who could be gone come the summer.

Andre Onana of Manchester United looks on, while holding the ball during the Premier League match between Fulham FC and Manchester United FC at Craven Cottage on January 26, 2025 in London, England.

Andre Onana has established himself as the Red Devils’ No.1 after the exit of David de Gea, but his time at Old Trafford has been littered with errors. After a brief improvement, he ‘s seemingly regressed in recent months and it could be time to claim some silver back from their investment. SELL.

Altay Bayindir may seek more first-team opportunities elsewhere. If United proceed with signing a new goalkeeper, reserve stopper Bayindir’s role at the club could be further limited. SELL.

Tom Heaton is out of contract in the summer. The 38-year-old third goalkeeper could be a help behind the scenes, but it’s an easy way to slash the wage budget. RELEASE.

Leny Yoro’s age, potential, and the substantial investment made in his transfer, selling him in the summer would not align with the club’s long-term strategic goals, especially considering the need for stability and development in the defensive lineup. KEEP.

Lisandro Martinez’s significant contributions to the team and his potential for future success, it would be advisable for United to retain him, despite the fact he is facing a long spell on the sidelines through injury. KEEP.

Matthijs de Ligt was one of Erik ten Hag’s men and he could be sold in the summer to recoup a portion of the substantial transfer fee and invest in alternative defensive options. SELL.

Harry Maguire’s experience, leadership qualities, and recent performances could provide valuable depth and stability to Manchester United’s defence. KEEP.

Victor Lindelof is out of contract in the summer. Lindelof has hardly been a star on the pitch recently, and it’s his time to go. RELEASE.

Jonny Evans is also out of contract in the summer. Evans joined United to help complete his coaching badges, but the veteran has proved to be a revelation on the pitch when called upon. KEEP.

Ayden Heaven was a recent recruit from Amorim, and one for the future. KEEP.

Patrick Dorgu is just getting used to life in Manchester, and he was signed to try and implement Amorim’s style of play. KEEP.

Luke Shaw’s injury history and the club’s interest in strengthening the left-back position, United may consider selling him in the summer to facilitate a squad overhaul. SELL.

Diogo Dalot’s consistent performances and the interest from top clubs could see him sold if a significant offer is made. However, retaining him could provide valuable depth and stability to the squad. KEEP.

Noussair Mazraoui has been a good acquisition for the Red Devils and selling him in the summer would not align with the club’s long-term strategic goals, especially considering the need for stability and development in the defensive lineup. KEEP.

Manuel Ugarte is another recent addition to the squad, and he’s not yet had time to cement himself at Old Trafford. Ugarte should be given more time in the red half of Manchester. KEEP.

Casemiro announced his intention to remain at Old Trafford on Monday. But United should offload him in the summer due to his massive wages. SELL.

Kobbie Mainoo’s potential and the club’s financial considerations could see United selling him if a substantial offer is received. However, retaining him could be beneficial for the team’s future development. KEEP.

Christian Eriksen is out of contract in the summer. Seeing the Dane return to the top of the beautiful game has been heartwarming – but his best days are now behind him. RELEASE.

Bruno Fernandes’ leadership qualities, experience, and the club’s investment in him, selling him in the summer would be a significant decision. KEEP.

Mason Mount could be sold in the summer to recoup a portion of the substantial transfer fee on the injury plagued midfielder and invest in alternative midfield options. SELL.

Alejandro Garnacho almost left in January and could be sold in the summer if a substantial offer is made. However, retaining the youngster could be beneficial for the team’s future development. KEEP.

Amad Diallo has been arguably Manchester United’s most important player this season before injury struck and, perhaps, the only player on this list that might make it onto Amorim’s no-sell list. KEEP.

Rasmus Hojlund’s inconsistent performances and the interest from other clubs could see him on his bike come July as United look to recoup a portion of the transfer fee and invest in alternative attacking options. SELL.

Joshua Zirkzee’s limited impact and the club’s substantial investment in him could see him sold in the summer to leave the door open for a move for Viktor Gyokeres. SELL.
