Manchester United will Accept Offers for Star Players in the January

Man United ‘will listen to offers for  stars in January’ as Erik ten Hag looks to rebuild his squad amid claims he’s lost half the dressing room. As Erik ten Hag seeks to strengthen his squad and ensure that they are fully committed to his approach, Manchester United are willing to listen to offers for a series of high-profile players.

All of Casemiro, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho are available for transfer, although the club will be flexible on other squad members.

The events of the last week, where there were reports that the manager has lost some of the dressing room, has only sharpened his intent to trim it down.

The belief at Manchester United is that Ten Hag is still dealing with the remnants of so many managerial predecessors, and that the need for a clear-out has been a long-term problem. That naturally means not all of those who are available for transfers are seen as having an issue with the Dutch coach, and many could similarly do with a change.

Among those is Casemiro, who had been considered a revelation last season, but represents a different type of midfielder to what the manager wants. He is also seeking different experiences at this stage of his career.

Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay had previously been up for sale, with both coming close to going in the summer, but Ten Hag is appreciative of how they have forced their way into the team while offering him huge moments and performances.

It is only after sales that Manchester United will pursue purchases, especially after a summer that involved considerable expenditure.

Top of the list are a centre-half, commonly expected to be Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo, and potentially another number-eight.

Ineos will only have limited influence on the January approach, in the event that Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s 25 per cent is completed by then, which now could be confirmed by next week. His football staff, led by Jean-Claude Blanc, want to assess how the club currently works before the bigger decisions.

United are also willing to listen to offers for veteran French defender Raphael Varane, who has also reportedly fallen out with Ten Hag after falling down the pecking order behind Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans.

The Red Devils (Manchester United) will reportedly only look to strengthen the squad in terms of recruitment once key players are sold, and it is understood the club are prepared to sell even more stars so long as the transfer fees are deemed suitable.

For now, Ten Hag is focusing on football with a quick turnaround following the victory over Chelsea, with Manchester United set to face off against Bournemouth at home this Saturday.
