Ruben Amorim makes ruthless Man Utd squad decision, only four players irreplaceable in the summer transfer window -Reports

Manchester United could have a drastically different squad to select from by the time the 2025/26 season kicks off in August.

After the season just experienced, few players can consider themselves safe from the impending summer clearout, which will ensue in the coming months

It has been suggested that Manchester United are looking to make four big signings this summer, with further business dependent on the aforementioned clearout.

Ineos could let at least 10 United players exit permanently, in a first summer similar to the one Ruben Amorim experienced at Sporting CP, with transfer business there being key in building a squad capable of challenging.

This will be Ineos’ task, which could get remarkably easier if United come out of the Europa League final as champions of Europe this week

The names of those who are listed for sale are widely known and comprise players not really in the first team picture anyway, barring a few, but which players are safe?

When Amorim, along with Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada, are combing through the squad to decide who stays and who goes, it will probably be easier simply to name who should be kept.

Now, this is what Amorim has been doing, according to The Times, with a list of just four players considered to be irreplaceable by the 40-year-old head coach.

Amad Diallo
Bruno Fernandes
Harry Maguire
Leny Yoro

Amorim’s irreplaceable list has his captain Fernandes, along with Maguire, as two experienced heads at the club. Upon joining, Amorim extended Maguire’s contract at United after being impressed by him.

In addition, as one of Ineos’ summer signings from 2024, Yoro has made a huge impression at United this season, living up to his high potential billing. The final name is Amad, who has gone from unused by Erik ten Hag to one of the stars of Amorim’s team, and it was long overdue.
