THE futures of ELEVEN Manchester United players are up in the air with the club facing the biggest summer exodus in years.

The Red Devils have several stars out of favour under Ruben Amorim, while Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho could also be sold.

The Athletic have named eleven players that could realistically leave Old Trafford this summer for a variety of reasons.

Firstly, the four all-but definite exits come in the form ofJonnyEvans,Tom Heaton,Christian EriksenandVictor Lindelof.

Evans, 37, – who has not started in four months – and Heaton, 39, are likely to retire, according to Manchester Evening News.

While, fellow free agents midfielder Eriksen and defender Lindelof are set to be released come June.

United were open to offers for Eriksen last summer and Lindelof is eyeing a return to Benfica after spending most of the last two seasons injured.

The club will likely look to part ways with on-loan starsMarcus Rashford,AntonyandJadon Sanchoto reinvest in a new goalscorer.

Rashford has impressed since joiningAston Villaon loan in January and worked his way intoThomas Tuchel‘s firstEnglandsquad, starting two the German's first games in charge.

Villa have an £40million option to buy Rashford in thesummerand it seems the damage is done in terms of his relationship with Amorim.

Elsewhere, Chelsea have an obligation to buy Sancho for £20-25million, although a £5million get-out clause has since emerged.

The Blues are set to sign Sancho permanently in the summer, despite reports that suggested Stamford Bridge chiefs were tempted to pay the compensation to avoid it.

Antony-signed for £85.5million- has also has somewhat of a career revival since joiningReal Betisbut there looks to be no way back for him too.

Meanwhile, transfer expert David Ornstein said the Red Devils could listen to offers for Mainoo and Garnacho.

As academy products, both represent “pure profit” on the books and would help United stay in line with Profit and Sustainability Rules.

Ornstein said: “They are players I don’t think United actively want out.

“But if suitable offers arrive and the club decide to entertain them from a football and financial perspective, there could be movement there.”

Mainoo – who could garner a £70million fee – has not been able to agree a new deal, which has two years left.

David Ornstein said the Red Devils could listen to offers for Alejandro Garnacho.

United are open to selling veteran midfielderCasemiro, 33, who has one year left on his deal.

The Brazilian- whocost United a whopping £70millionin 2022 – isdetermined to see out the remainder of his contract, which expires in 2026.

Meanwhile, PSV have an option to sign left backTyrell Malaciaon a permanent basis.

And SunSport exclusively reported that the club are looking to sell goalkeeperAndre Onana to the Saudi Pro League.

Speaking earlier this month, Amorim admitted some of his players are already aware that their time at the club is coming to an end.

He said: “Everybody understands that in football sometimes you stay, sometimes you have to move on. If I know how to explain it, I will do so because I like to be clear.

“I was a player and like to use that experience — when you are honest with someone, they can take it. In the beginning maybe it is hard but they will understand.

“I'm quite honest with my players and sometimes they know they have to move on at the end of the season.

“We can talk about that in the end — now there are still a lot of games to play. But that is clear and not a difficult situation.”
