  • A number of current Man United stars could spot different stripes from next season with their Old Trafford futures uncertain
  • Cristiano Ronaldo, Paul Pogba, and Edison Cavani are among the top names that could depart the Manchester club
  • Others are Donny van de Beek and Anthony Martial who are currently out on loan, while Phil Jones could potentially be shipped out

Man United are bracing themselves for a mass exodus of players in the summer as the club looks to rebuild after a disappointing 2021/22 campaign.

United are in danger of finishing the season without a trophy yet again - with the Champions League the only tournament they are competing with.

The Sun now reports no fewer than 16 players could depart the Theatre of Dreams at the end of the ongoing season.

Paul Pogba, Cavani headline the list of players who could leave

According to the publication, the Red Devils are preparing for a number of contracts to expire in the summer with new deals yet to be agreed.

Paul Pogba and Edinson Cavani top the list of players whose contracts will be up in the air in the summer, with the latter unlikely to pen a renewal.

Other players who are in the final months of their deals include Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata both of whom have shown indications of exiting for free.

Cristiano Ronaldo among players facing uncertain futures

Incredibly, Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford form the list whose future at Old Trafford is uncertain.

Reports have already emerged Rashford is keen to depart for a move elsewhere after becoming increasingly frustrated under Ralf Rangnick.

Donny van de Beek and Anthony Martial are also unlikely to return to United after they left in January on loan.

On his part, Mason Greenwood has been suspended indefinitely, while Phil Jones and Dean Henderson could be shipped away after falling down the pecking order.

One of Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been backed to depart, with loanees Brandon Williams, Andreas Pereira, Facundo Pellistri and Tahith Chong also tipped for exits.
