Youngsters Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund are the only players seen as “untouchable” by the club.
Meanwhile, on loan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat will return to parent club Fiorentina this summer.
Several players are also out of contract, with Tom Heaton, Jonny Evans, Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial all set to leave as free agents.
As for the rest of Erik ten Hag’s side, they are free to leave if the right offer comes in.
Although the Dutchman shut down the rumours during his press conference on Thursday.
Speaking ahead of the match against Crystal Palace, he said: “It’s a joke. As long as I’ve worked here, every summer, every window, I think 200 players are getting interest from Manchester United.
“We did some research, it’s untrue. Also every summer we sell all of the players in our squad, which you make all of the headlines and it is untrue. That takes responsibility how you make such a headline. Find a good source if there is some truth in it.”
With a total transfer value of £455.5million, according to Transfermarkt, United’s summer clear out could provide the funds for several huge signings ahead of next season.

Pundits verdict on Ten Hag’s future
Where do the pundits stand on Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United future
Jamie Carragher – Sacked
“I don’t see how Erik ten Hag stays. It’s just performance after performance.”
Gary Neville – Stay if he wins the FA Cup
“To sack a manager who’s won two trophies in his first two seasons at the club I think would be extreme.”
Louis Saha – On the fence
“I don’t see it as clearly but they need changes from the players but they need changes from him as well.”
Alan Shearer – Sacked
“I believe the future of the Man Utd manager is already determined. Even if they win the FA Cup I think he’s gone.”
Here are some of the players the Red Devils could buy.
Victor Osimhen
Victor Osimhen has been linked with a host of Premier League giants after winning the Serie A golden boot last season.
The Napoli striker has also fuelled speculation and his current club appear resigned to losing him this summer.
However, Osimhen will not come cheap after he penned a new deal in December which includes a £110million release clause.

Michael Olise
