Manchester United person put almost each of their squad up for sale arsenic they look to refresh nan squad and make costs nether caller co-owner Ineos.
United person spent astir £1bn assembling their existent squad complete nan past fewer years, but person endured a disappointing play nether Erik 10 Hag.
Given they will miss retired connected Champions League shot adjacent twelvemonth they will request to maximise subordinate income successful bid to walk - thing BBC Sport's main shot news writer Simon Stone says they person been "poor astatine successful nan past".
United's astir caller accounts show a full costs measure of £331m and an mean play costs for players of £154,000 - some nan fourth-highest totals down Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool.
So what is nan worth of their squad? As ever pinch shot transfers, it depends connected who crunches nan numbers.
BBC Sport worked pinch 2 respected shot information and investigation providers CIES Football Observatory, external and Transfermarkt, external to cipher nan approximate marketplace worth of United’s players.
In comparison, Transfermarkt's 'market valuation' is overmuch much modest, and their UK contented lead Stefan Bienkowski says it considers factors specified arsenic form, age, statement position and its ain members' evaluations.
Transfermarkt says three of nan apical 5 biggest downgrades successful marketplace value, external successful nan Premier League this play are United's Antony, Marcus Rashford and Mason Mount.
Here are their valuations:
Marcus Rashford, 26
"After reaching a profession precocious of £73m successful December 2021, Marcus Rashford’s marketplace worth has been steadily decreasing since then. It did jump backmost up to £68m astir March of past year, but mediocre performances person seen his marketplace worth driblet to wherever it now stands astatine £51m."
Antony, 24
"With a marketplace worth of £30m anterior to his 95m euros (£81.3m) move to Man Utd, our information suggests Man Utd importantly overpaid for nan Brazilian winger. We did set nan player's marketplace worth to £64m pursuing nan move, but his consistently mediocre performances person seen it tumble backmost down moreover little to £24m."
Jadon Sancho, 24
"Sancho was erstwhile 1 of nan astir valuable players successful nan world, erstwhile he had a marketplace worth of £112m successful 2020. But pursuing his move to Man Utd, his marketplace worth has dropped from £77m to £21m pursuing a deficiency of crippled clip aliases bully performances. A return to shape for Dortmund whitethorn liking immoderate imaginable bidders and his marketplace worth will apt emergence earlier nan extremity of nan season."
Bruno Fernandes, 29
"The Portuguese midfielder remains 1 of Man Utd’s fewer accordant stars, which is why he is presently their astir valuable subordinate astatine £60m. But pinch his 30th day coming later successful nan twelvemonth and his attacking stats slowing down compared to his first fewer years astatine Old Trafford, Fernandes’ marketplace worth has begun to creep downwards from a precocious of £77m. It seems highly improbable immoderate nine would beryllium consenting to salary much than £60m this summer, should nan midfielder request a move from Old Trafford."
Andre Onana, 28
"Signed for 55m euros (£47.5m astatine nan time), Onana had a difficult commencement to life astatine Man Utd. Although £34m whitethorn look rather debased for a goalkeeper, Onana is nan 2nd astir valuable shot-stopper successful nan world. No nine has spent much than 50m euros (£43m) connected a keeper since 2018."
Harry Maguire, 31
"Following his grounds £80m move from Leicester City, Maguire had a career-high Transfermarkt marketplace worth of £60m. But complete nan people of nan past 5 years he has struggled for consistency and has possibly been nan astir glaring illustration of Man Utd overpaying for players. Aged 31 and pinch his statement expiring astatine nan extremity of adjacent season, a marketplace worth of £17m for nan England centre-half seems fitting."
Scott McTominay, 27
"The Scotland world has been a useful subordinate successful Erik 10 Hag’s squad and has seen his marketplace worth emergence from £27m this season. Man Utd person ne'er sold a cardinal midfielder for much than astir £30m and it seems improbable McTominay will push that fig overmuch higher."
Diogo Dalot, 25
"Signed for £19m, Dalot has seen his marketplace worth steadily emergence to £30m since he joined nan nine backmost successful 2018. This makes him Transfermarkt's eighth-most valuable subordinate astatine Old Trafford and our eighth-most valuable right-back successful nan world."
