Man United 'have £107m worth of players they can't sell' – with trio set to leave for free

United face a £107m squad clearout problem with Zirkzee, Mazraoui, Dorgu and Ugarte difficult to move, while Shaw, Maguire and Martinez will leave on free transfers.

Manchester United's squad overhaul faces significant obstacles, with several high-profile players proving difficult to sell despite the club's need to trim the wage bill. Zirkzee, Mazraoui, Dorgu and Ugarte are valued at a combined £107m but have attracted little interest from other clubs, forcing United to either accept substantial losses or keep them. The club previously tried to move Dorgu with a £30m asking price that proved too high.

Three further departures are expected to happen automatically. Shaw, Maguire and Martinez are all out of contract at the end of the season and are expected to leave on free transfers. Shaw's current deal, expiring in summer, will likely be his last at the club after seeing off multiple managers. Maguire has a clause for an extra year but it may be in everyone's interests not to trigger it. Martinez has reportedly expressed frustration with the club and wants out.
