Manchester United are planning an overhaul of their playing squad regardless of who becomes their next manager, while club chiefs will discuss Michael Carrick’s future at a summit in Monaco on 11 November.
Contract situations requiring attention
Flashscore reported that at least eight player situations require attention in 2027. Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and Bruno Fernandes are all in the final year of the terms on their current contracts, which are due to expire in 2027. Marcus Rashford, Diogo Dalot, Mason Mount and Noussair Mazraoui are under contract until 2028.
Further player discussions
Flashscore reported that further discussions will also be needed around Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs De Ligt and Manuel Ugarte. Sources indicate that a substantial turnover of players is a realistic possibility as United look to reshape the squad and create room for new arrivals.
Relegation-zone position
Flashscore reported that Manchester United are currently in the relegation zone.
