Manchester United will listen to offers for up to 13 players this summer in the hope of raising as much as £100million for new signings.
Mail Sport can reveal what United will demand for stars like Jadon Sancho, Harry Maguire and Anthony Martial to give manager Erik Ten Hag more spending power in the transfer market.
Ten Hag’s budget has been cut to around £120m due to Financial Fair Play restrictions as he looks to sign a midfielder, a striker and a goalkeeper.
It is one of the reasons why United are refusing to bow to Chelsea’s £65m demand for Mason Mount in a bid to save as much money as possible for their other targets.
The search for a striker has been hampered by the valuations put on Tottenham’s Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen of Napoli and Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund. United have also held talks with Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana who would cost in the region of £40m.
Manchester United are set to listen to offers for up to 13 players as they look to raise funds
Jadon Sancho is among these names, with United willing to accept about £45million for him
The much-maligned Harry Maguire would be allowed to depart if a £40m offer came in
The club hope that selling some of the current squad will raise at least £50m and possibly even £100m to re-invest, although sources within the football industry have dismissed any suggestion of a fire sale and it’s understood there is no prospect of all 13 of the available United players leaving.
In the case of Sancho, Martial, Maguire and Scott McTominay, it’s understood that none of them are being forced out of Old Trafford and United are happy to let them stay and fight for their places. If any one of the four departs, it would leave a gap in the squad that needs filling before the start of the new season.
United would listen to offers in the region of £45m for Sancho who has struggled to make the impact expected of him since arriving from Borussia Dortmund for £73m two years ago.
Maguire cost £80m from Leicester in 2019, but will be allowed to leave if a £40m offer comes in.
Although the United captain made just eight Premier League starts last season after slipping down the pecking order of centre-backs under Ten Hag, he remains an England regular.
Martial is entering the final year of his contract and United would want around £25m for the erratic Frenchman.

Dean Henderson could join Nottingham Forest permanently after his loan spell last season
United have put a £20m price tag on midfielders Fred (left) and Donny van de Beek (right)
Martial flourished under Ten Hag initially after a spell on loan at Sevilla, but a spate of injuries limited his availability last season.
McTominay is particularly highly valued at United having come through the youth system, but his opportunities have been limited by the arrival of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen last summer and the club would be sympathetic if he wants a fresh start.
The Scotland midfielder was a target for Newcastle in January and United would ask in the region of £40m to sell him.
Goalkeeper Dean Henderson is another who falls into the category of players United will sell at the right price.
Henderson has been lined up for a permanent move to Nottingham Forest worth £15m plus add-ons if David de Gea signs a new contract, but De Gea’s future is more uncertain than ever with just a few days to go before his current deal comes to an end.
Despite his contract expiring next week, David de Gea is still yet to pen a new deal with United
Promising winger Anthony Elanga – valued at £20m – is another player who may leave the club
Henderson would be an option to replace him, but United want to sign a new goalkeeper and Onana is highly rated by Ten Hag after playing for the Dutchman at Ajax.
The remaining eight players are up for sale with United actively looking to find them new clubs, although some could end up leaving on loan or even free transfers.
It’s understood that a £20m price tag has been put on midfielders Fred and Donny van de Beek, and Sweden striker Anthony Elanga. Fred is the subject of interest from Fulham while a number of German clubs are tracking Elanga.
Defenders Alex Telles and Eric Bailly, who both spent last season out on loan, can go for £10m and £2m with Brandon Williams valued at around £5m.
Tunisia midfielder Hannibal Mejbri would cost £13m, and United have already agreed to sell Zidane Iqbal to Utrecht for £850,000 plus significant add-ons.
