Last month, Manchester United's management made a decision that Ten Hag would remain as manager for the new season. Despite Ten Hag's mediocre results, United eventually retained him. With Ten Hag retained, United are also preparing for next season's squad changes. Manchester United currently have seven players in contract year and are expected to leave this summer.
At the back, the contracts of Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Cambuvara expire in June 2025, with only Maguire's contract having a one-year extension option and he will remain with the team until June 2026 at most.
Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were offered one-year contract extensions in December, with United expected to sell the two defenders this summer. The 19-year-old centre-back broke into the first team last season and made eight Premier League appearances and is understood to be in talks with the club to extend his new contract.
In terms of midfielders, Eriksen and McTominay's contracts expire in June 2025. Christian Eriksen is likely to leave Manchester United this summer, with United interested in extending McTominay's contract for another season. West Ham United were interested in signing Scott McTominay last summer, but the 27-year-old Scottish star opted to stay at United and embarked on the most goal-scoring season of his career.
Last season, Scott McTominay scored 10 goals in all competitions, scoring twice in a 2-1 win over Brentford in October and adding another in a 2-1 win over Chelsea in December. Eriksen started just 12 Premier League games last season and had an unhappy encounter with Ten Hag during the season, expressing his displeasure with the reduction in his playing time.
Up front, the 21-year-old has just one year left on his contract, with United having the option to trigger a one-year extension clause in his contract. Last season, the youngster didn't get many opportunities under Ten Hag. However, he also had a brilliant performance, in the FA Cup quarter-finals, Manchester United beat Liverpool 4-3, and Ahmad scored the winner from the bench. In the Premier League match with Newcastle, Ahmad scored 1 goal and 1 assist, scoring his first goal in the Premier League.
On the whole, Maguire and Ahmad are likely to activate the automatic renewal clause and extend the contract for one year. McTominay and Cambuwala will be offered a new contract extension. Victor Lindelof, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Christian Eriksen are in danger of being purged.
