Manchester United 2019-20 transfer activity
Manchester United fans have been pleading for a clear out of the squad, and Solskjaer has repeatedly suggested the club will sell players who don’t fit into his plans this summer.
Veteran wing-back Antonio Valencia‘s departure was confirmed in April, while Juan Mata is expected to exit on free transfers due to expiring contracts. Ander Herrera was also announced to be leaving as a free agent in early May.

As one of the richest clubs in the world, United have been linked with dozens of top-class players ahead of the transfer window including Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen, Real Madrid‘s Gareth Bale, Barcelona‘s Philippe Coutinho and Napoli‘s Kalidou Koulibaly.
