Harry Maguire’s future remains unclear after his error against Athletic Bilbao saw him booed by the home fans, with the former captain linked with Tottenham and West Ham. There are no clubs willing to meet United’s asking price, believed to be £40m, at the moment and they may need to reduce the England international’s valuation.
The club have received two offers from Saudi Pro League clubs for Eric Bailly, who will be allowed to leave as he is currently sixth-choice at Old Trafford. The Red Devils want to cash in this summer rather than lose him on a free transfer in 2024 and the 29-year-old could leave after seven years in Manchester.
Assuming all five players leave in the coming weeks, it would give United the financial armoury to fund Amrabat’s transfer. But Ten Hag will need to be patient after spending £190m on Hojlund, Mason Mount and Andre Onana, while Jonny Evans has joined on a short-term contract – and the threat of Juventus to their plans to bring in Amrabat may expedite their summer firesale.
