Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim tells players to expect summer exits: Who should leave Old Trafford?

There are numerous players on high wages that are offering very little on the pitch

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim said there will be departures from his squad in the summer, potentially setting up for an exodus after another up-and-down season for the Red Devils.

"Everybody understands that in football; sometimes you stay, sometimes you have to move on," Amorim said in a press conference on Saturday, per ESPN. "When you are honest with someone, they can take it. In the beginning, it is hard, but they will understand. So I'm quite honest with my players and they already know that sometimes they have to move on at the end of the season."

Notable summer departures are to be expected from a sporting perspective alone, since this version of United – once described by Amorim as the "worst" in the club's history – has underperformed considerably but also does not feel like a fit for the manager's tactical preferences. The club's finances, though, also make transfers out of the club a necessity. Though they are not necessarily in danger of violating the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules, they are down to just $120 million in the bank, which caused them to take a more conservative approach in the winter transfer window, per The Athletic.
