Star players such as Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof have not been offered new deals.

Lindelof has spent eight years at Manchester United, having joined from Benfica back in 2017.

He made 284 appearances for the club and picked up FA Cup and League Cup winners’ medals.

Evans ends his second spell at Old Trafford, having played a total of 241 times for the club.

He rejoined the club in 2023 on a free transfer after spells at West Brom and Leicester City.

Eriksen was also a free transfer when he made the move to Man United back in 2022.

The Dane fought his back to fitness after suffering a cardiac arrest in May 2021 during the Euros.

His return to football came during a six-month spell from January 2022 at Brentford, which saw him then make the switch to Manchester.

Youngsters Hubert Graczyk, Jack Kingdon, Sam Murray, Tom Myles, James Nolan and Tom Wooster are all also due for release.
