Manchester United is preparing for potential player departures as the winter transfer window approaches. Manager Ruben Amorim, who is still evaluating his squad, has identified several players who may not fit into his plans.
Among those likely to leave are Brazilian stars Casemiro and Antony. Casemiro has been deemed lacking in intensity for Amorim's system, while Antony has failed to justify his £86 million transfer fee. Amorim has been instructed to fund new signings through player sales, making their departures a priority to generate funds.
Joshua Zirkzee was also initially listed for sale, but his standout performance against Everton, where he scored twice, may have saved his spot on the team.
Meanwhile, Altay Bayindir, United's backup goalkeeper, is reportedly set to leave despite the club's reluctance to sell. Journalist Florian Plettenberg revealed that Bayindir is considered too talented to remain as a second-choice option behind Andre Onana, with limited opportunities for game time.
According to football London, Bayindir's contract runs until 2027, United is already exploring options for a third-choice goalkeeper and may also seek a new backup if he departs. The situation highlights the challenges Amorim faces in reshaping his squad while balancing player retention and financial constraints.
