Man Utd to listen to offers for ENTIRE squad including three stars deemed untouchable

Manchester United will listen to serious offers for any of their first-team squad this month, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe ready to make radical changes to overhaul their underperforming squad. Ratcliffe has been open with his opinion of United’s wasteful recruitment in recent years and believes they need to make sacrifices. United are 13th in the Premier League and have gone four matches without a win under Ruben Amorim.
Amorim has already been told that he will be working with a limited transfer budget after the club splashed £600million on players for his predecessor Erik ten Hag. It means that he has no chance of landing his top transfer target Viktor Gyokeres in the January window, with the Swede commanding a £80m release clause.
To make matters worse, Amorim could be about to lose some of his key players, with the club ready to consider offers for a number of key players. It is understood that young stars Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund are now expendable, despite having been deemed untouchable under Ten Hag. As well as those three stars, the club would be open to serious offers for any of Amorim's squad - with no player off limits this month.
Mainoo and Garnacho are considered homegrown players, having come through the United academy, so would be particularly valuable sales in the age of profit and sustainability rules. Mainoo is unsettled, having grown frustrated with the lack of movement on a new contract, which was first suggested in May.
