FEW WILL BE EXEMPT FROM MANCHESTER UNITED'S PROPOSED FIRE SALE AS SIR JIM RATCLIFFE LOOKS TO SLASH COSTS AND BOOST RUBEN AMORIM'S TRANSFER KITTY WITH A MAJOR OVERHAUL AT OLD
TRAFFORD 15:00, 08 Jan 2025Updated 16:37, 08 Jan 2025 Manchester United have hoisted a metaphorical ‘Everything Must Go’ sign aloft at Old Trafford with the revelation they will listen to
offers for every player. After sacking 250 staff and stripping iconic former boss Sir Alex Ferguson of his ambassadorial role, Ratcliffe has now trained his sights on United’s overpaid and
under-performing squad. Ratcliffe and his team want to shave around £1million a week off United’s bloated wage bill, to help them comply with profit and sustainability rules (PSR). Against
that backdrop, United have made shifting three players a priority – striker Marcus Rashford, on £325,000-a-week, midfielder Casemiro, on £350,000-a-week, and winger Antony, who earns
£200,000-a-week. Jettisoning that trio, whether on permanent deals or loan moves, would represent a successful window for United, in particular if they were able to sell £45million-rated
Rashford, whose fee, as an academy graduate, would count as pure profit in terms of PSR. But who should United let go and who are those who cannot be sold at any cost as Ruben Amorim builds
his new-look side? With United understood to be open to offers for rising young stars Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho – 19 and 20 respectively – none of the squad can consider
themselves safe. READ MORE: Man Utd fan disgustingly slams brick through Liverpool supporter's car window while gigglingREAD MORE: Wayne Rooney told to take most controversial job yet
days after Plymouth sacking But while sources claim only a “ridiculous” offer would see United sell Mainoo, with Chelsea linked with a move, the revelation Garnacho – considered one of
United’s most exciting young talents – could be sold shows the ruthless extent of the planned squad overhaul. Those considered untouchable are captain and playmaker Bruno Fernandes, who
signed a new deal in the summer, £59m defender Leny Yoro and wing-back Amad Diallo, who is close to signing a new contract Mainoo would also likely fall into the category providing progress
can be made on a new deal for the midfielder. Another wing-back Diogo Dalot, who has impressed under Amorim and whose versatility in being able to play on the left and right is a major
asset, is also a player United want to keep. Article continues below Manuel Ugarte, who played under Amorim at Sporting Lisbon, is also unlikely to be sold, having found his feet after a
difficult start at United. But the rest of United’s squad are up for sale, if the price is right. However, with the team having performed so lamentably this season, there is unlikely to be a
surge of interest in players who have shown themselves to be unreliable. Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof are out of contract this summer and will not be handed new deals,
while Luke Shaw’s ongoing fitness and injury issues could see him sold to make way for a new left wing-back. Rasmus Hojlund, bought a year ago from Atalanta for a vastly inflated fee of
£72m, is also in the shop window, with Amorim looking for a more prolific and reliable No.9 - his former Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres his first-choice target. There is a certain irony in
United willing to listen to offers for virtually their entire squad just days after their best performance under Amorim, a 2-2 draw at arch rivals and Premier League leaders Liverpool, a
game they could easily have won. But even allowing for that encouraging display, Amorim knows he must overhaul his current squad, with only a handful of players unsellable. The rest? If a
club meets United’s valuation, they can be on their way. READ MORE: Managing Man Utd transfers as 'untouchable' trio included in huge list available for saleREAD MORE: Kobbie
Mainoo's reaction to Man Utd contract offer speaks volumes after bombshell U-turn The problem for United is they have a group of average players on grossly inflated wages that makes
them difficult to move on, with clubs reluctant – and in many cases unable - to meet those exorbitant financial demands. Join our new WhatsApp community _and receive your daily dose of
