Overview
- Multiple reports say Mason Mount, Joshua Zirkzee, Rasmus Hojlund, Andre Onana and Manuel Ugarte are being lined up for permanent departures in the next window.
- Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna said Hojlund will be bought if the club qualify for the Champions League, confirming an obligation-to-buy clause in the loan.
- Trabzonspor vice-president Zeyyat Kafkas stated United’s price for Onana is €45–50m and signalled uncertainty over a permanent move at that level.
- ESPN reporting, relayed by CaughtOffside, suggests the clearout could extend to as many as nine players, with some nearing contract expiry and others available for offers.
- No permanent sales have been announced, but most of the mooted departures are signings from Erik ten Hag’s tenure, reflecting a broader reset under the current regime.
