According to a source from The Sun, Man Utd may part with 9 stars after the defeat to Man City in the FA Cup final.

After the defeat to Man City in the FA Cup final, Man Utd has a plan to reform the team. In particular, the Red Devils can bid farewell to 9 stars in the next summer. The first person mentioned in Man Utd’s liquidation plan is goalkeeper De Gea.

In the match against Man City, De Gea was criticized a lot for his slow reflexes after Gundogan’s shot from outside the box led to Man Utd’s second goal.

Despite winning the Premier League Golden Glove award this season, De Gea also made many mistakes. Remember, this goalkeeper once caused the Red Devils to be knocked out of the Europa League because of two silly mistakes in the match against Sevilla.

Former Man Utd player Roy Keane declared: “De Gea is no longer good enough. He is not the man who can take Man Utd to titles. The Red Devils need world-class goalkeepers. De Gea has no level of performance. such degree”.

Currently, De Gea is still the highest earner at Man Utd with £ 375,000 / week on a contract until June 2023 (with the option of a one-year extension). Man Utd is quite cold with negotiating a new contract. If he signs again, De Gea may have to cut his salary by half.

It is worth mentioning that Man Utd is also not eager to return goalkeeper Dean Henderson from a loan contract at Nottingham Forest. They are hoping this club spends money to buy Dean Henderson outright.

In the opposite direction, coach Ten Hag wants to recruit goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic from Dinamo Zagreb. The keeper’s contract includes a £8.9m release clause. Dominik Livakovic played very well in the 2022 World Cup and contributed to the Croatian team reaching the semi-finals.

Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa is also on Man Utd’s radar, but the 23-year-old’s price tag is around £65 million.

Along with De Gea and Dean Henderson, Man Utd can say goodbye to many more faces. In particular, captain Harry Maguire is likely to leave Old Trafford after a disappointing season. He has only started 8 matches in the Premier League this season. In the FA Cup final, Harry Maguire was also not used.

According to reports, Man Utd is considering Harry Maguire as part of the signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea. If unsuccessful, the Red Devils can sell the English midfielder to a club lower in the Premier League.

Besides, the central midfield duo Fred and Scott McTominay are also at risk. Fred has only one year left on his contract and is frustrated by Man Utd’s “disrespect” when it comes to negotiating a new contract. Meanwhile, the Old Trafford club is receiving an offer to buy Scott McTominay from Newcastle for £ 50 million.

Two players playing for Man Utd in the loan contract, Marcel Sabitzer and Wout Weghorst, were both returned to the host club. Their performance was not convincing enough for the Red Devils to spend money to buy it off.

In attack, coach Ten Hag gradually lost patience with Anthony Martial because of constant injuries. He plans to sell the French star to bring back a more stable face. Harry Kane is considered the number one candidate for Man Utd’s striker position. However, the Old Trafford club will have to spend a lot of money to recruit the Tottenham striker.
