According to reports, three ‘senior’ Manchester United stars ‘could quit’ in 2025 to ‘pave the way for new signings’ in the coming months.
The Red Devils will likely look to be active in the winter transfer window as they have endured a miserable start to the 2024/25 campaign.
Ruben Amorim is leaving Sporting Lisbon to replace Erik ten Hag, who was sacked after Man Utd’s disappointing 2-1 loss at West Ham last month.
United are 13th in the Premier League after ten games as they have only won three games and have also drawn their opening three Europa League group matches.
Man Utd’s struggles from last season have carried over into this campaign and Amorim will have a major job on his hands at Old Trafford.
There is likely to be a major overhaul at Man Utd next year and a report from Football Insider claims Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans are ‘three senior stars who could quit in 2025’.

The report claims.
‘Man United trio Jonny Evans, Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof could leave the club in 2025, sources have told Football Insider. All three defenders are under contract until the end of this season.
‘Ruben Amorim is set to take charge on 11 November and has preferred to use a three-man defence in his managerial career so far.
‘Football Insider revealed on Monday (4 November) that Man United could pursue deals for Sporting CP centre-back duo Ousmane Diomande and Goncalo Inacio next summer.
‘Amorim could dip into the transfer market in 2025 to add more familiar options after arriving at Old Trafford. Exits for Evans, Maguire and Lindelof could pave the way for new signings in the next summer window.’

Another report from Football Insider claims Man Utd could look at the loan market in January to ‘agree multiple signings’ as they look to get around their PSR issues.
‘The Red Devils will struggle to make any permanent signings in the winter transfer window for new boss Ruben Amorim.
‘United’s budget has been stretched after Erik ten Hag was sacked last week and replaced with the costly appointment of Amorim.
‘Finance expert Stefan Borson told Football Insider on Sunday (3 November) that Man United could have spent up to £37.5million on their managerial change.
‘Sources say it will therefore be difficult under Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) for Amorim to spend any money in the January transfer window.
‘One avenue open to United is the use of loan deals, with the club yet to use their two allotted Premier League loan spaces this term. They could also look overseas to bolster their squad, as they did with Sofyan Amrabat last season before declining to sign him permanently.’
