Manchester United have opted to stick with Erik ten Hag and are even in contract talks with the Dutchman over an extension to his current deal.

The news has been welcomed by most Man Utd fans, not least because it offers the situation some resolution and the club can now start to build for the future.

The former Ajax boss will take a backseat in dealing with transfers, however, which means it’s up to the club’s hierarchy to sort the incomings and outgoings, with Dan Ashworth ready in waiting to step into the role as sporting director.

Harry Maguire

Harry Maguire will sadly miss the England Euro 2024 campaign, but it does offer plenty of time to sort out his future at Old Trafford. In recent seasons, the former Leicester City man has become a beacon of reliability at the back for Man Utd - but his hefty wages mean that they will surely be open to offers for him.

Could we see a club like West Ham make another play for the defender?

Jadon Sancho

With Ten Hag back in, that surely spells the end for Sancho. Man Utd want around £40m for the winger, but Borussia Dortmund, where he was previously on loan, cannot afford that as well as his salary.

Plenty of clubs are looking for a right-winger in the summer but Sancho will pose a gamble - will they get his Bundesliga or Premier League form?

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Aaron Wan-Bissaka was one of the first players in the side that Ten Hag asked to move on when the coach arrived in 2022. For the first six months of Ten Hag's reign, it seemed as though the right-back was certain to leave, but a good spell during winter months ensured his survival for another season at least.

But Man Utd appear to be open to offers for the right-back now, with Inter Milan heavily linked to the 26-year-old. The wing-back has been a solid servant for Man Utd but injuries as well as an inability to attack mean that he's likely to leave.

Scott McTominay

Scott McTominay is something of an enigma and given his important goals last season you would be forgiven for believing the inclusion of the Scot on this list is harsh.

But the emergence of Kobbie Mainoo, as well as the possible addition of a central midfielder in the summer transfer window, might spell the end for the player at Man Utd.

Antony

It’s high chance that Man Utd will receive any sort of fee for Antony, who had one of the worst seasons imaginable last term. A single goal contribution throughout the season saw the winger cut a frustrated figure for most of the campaign. What could happen here, though, is a loan move away. Perhaps a mid-table Serie A club.

Antony, for better or worse, had been a top performer in the Eredivisie and so there could be a club that can get a tune out of him yet. But he certainly needs a break from Man Utd.
