Manchester United’s transfer plans for the summer are beginning to take shape as Ruben Amorim looks to trim the squad and make space for fresh additions.
A number of players currently out on loan are unlikely to be part of the club’s long-term future, with several names already being discussed in European media.
Meanwhile, former United boss Jose Mourinho is making headlines with his transfer wishlist as Fenerbahce manager.

Now, a fresh twist has emerged involving one of United’s most expensive signings of the post-Ferguson era.
According to reports in Turkey, Jose Mourinho has greenlit a move for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho, with Fenerbahce beginning efforts to bring the out-of-favour star to Istanbul this summer, as per Yeni Asır.
The 25-year-old is currently on loan at Chelsea, where he has managed just four goals in 39 appearances across all competitions.
Despite Chelsea having a near-obligation to make the move permanent for around £25 million, recent reports suggest they may pay a £5 million fee to terminate the agreement and return Sancho to Old Trafford.
That would reopen the door for a permanent sale elsewhere, and Fenerbahce are looking to pounce.

Yeni Asır claims the Yellow Canaries are searching for a new winger, with Allan Saint-Maximin expected to return to Al-Ahli at the end of his loan.
Mourinho is said to be a strong admirer of Sancho’s talent and has reportedly given the green light for Fenerbahce to pursue him.
However, the Turkish giants may not have a clear path to his signature, with arch-rivals Galatasaray also monitoring the situation.
With Baris Alper Yilmaz attracting interest from Premier League clubs, Galatasaray are expected to enter the market for a wide player.
It means Sancho’s next move could spark a bidding war in Istanbul – if Chelsea decide to cut him loose.
For United, it’s another opportunity to offload a player who has failed to deliver on his £73 million price tag.
