Man United plan to accept offers for three first-XI starters – sources

Man United are willing to sell Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer as they prepare for a blizzard of transfer activity.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track Podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the Premier League giants will accept bids for the defenders, who are all regular starters, if suitable offers come in.

Sources have said that Maguire would be allowed to leave the club if the deal was right, despite him re-establishing himself in Erik ten Hag’s team last season.

The 31-year-old almost left United last season to join West Ham but ultimately stuck it out at Old Trafford.

Like the England international, Lindelof and Wan-Bissaka are entering the final year of their contracts, which could lead to them departing.

The 20-time champions will not stand in either player’s way should the right offer come in this summer.

Many outgoings are expected throughout this window at Old Trafford as the club looks to back their manager.

Football Insider revealed that United are willing to spend up to £140million this summer after choosing to stick with Ten Hag for another season.

The possibility of three defenders departing Old Trafford this summer would mean the team would need to recruit in that area to replace them, especially with Raphael Varane already gone.

The Premier League giants have been looking to strengthen in this area as Football Insider revealed that Matthijs de Ligt is a key target this summer.

A move to England would reunite the 24-year-old with his former Ajax boss, with sources saying that central defence is a key area for the club.

Football Insider revealed that Man United have been priced out of a potential move for Jarrad Branthwaite due to Everton’s £70million price tag.

United are unwilling to spend that much on the young defender, having initially bid £35million plus add-ons.
