Not Sancho: United face battle to sell misfiring £40m star in summer, only 1 goal in 8 league games
Manchester United want to make big moves in the summer in order to revamp their squad.
With Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) tightening their grip, the Red Devils will be shopping with a modest transfer budget.
Offloading a few of their underperforming stars will give them more freedom to find new players.
Antony, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford are considered out of favour under head coach Ruben Amorim.
All three are currently on loan to impress their new clubs.
Antony has been turning heads in Spain, impressing at Real Betis and giving the La Liga outfit a reason to consider extending his stay.
Since his loan deal lacks a purchase clause, Betis will need to negotiate a brand-new transfer with United if they wish to keep the Brazilian winger.
Sancho could fetch United an initial £20 million, contingent on Chelsea finishing above 15th in the Premier League.
Aston Villa have an option to sign Rashford permanently for £40m in the summer.
Rashford has netted just three goals in 14 appearances under Unai Emery, with only one strike coming in the Premier League.
He started as a centre-forward against Southampton but was taken off after 66 minutes for Ollie Watkins.
Watkins made an instant impact, winning a penalty before firing it home within seven minutes of coming on, showing the cutting edge Rashford sorely lacked.
Rashford failed to provide any real attacking threat, testing Aaron Ramsdale with merely one shot on target.
United will be hoping the 27-year-old finds his rhythm soon, so that Villa or any suitor are eager to take him off their hands and their bloated wage bill.
