MAN UTD TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: All the latest deals and rumours from Old Trafford
The new part-owner is willing to consider offers for the majority of Erik ten Hag‘s squad.
However, some stars will remain completely untouchable.
Kobbie Mainoo, Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho were originally considered to be the only unsellable players in the squad.
Goalkeeper Andre Onana was then added to the list.
And the Mirror now claim Lisandro Martinez and Diogo Dalot are both not considered for sale.
Man Utd chiefs are allegedly open to suitable offers for captain Bruno Fernandes if the price is right.
Bayern Munich are said to be interested in signing the Portuguese midfielder, with his contract set to expire in two years.
Marcus Rashford has also been linked with a move away from Old Trafford.

Nine managers Man Utd considered before keeping Erik ten Hag
ERIK TEN HAG appears to be safe as Man Utd manager, but the Dutchman edged dangerously close to the sack.
Here are nine managers Red Devils chiefs are reported to have considered for the job and what allegedly happened with each.
Gareth Southgate
Enjoys plenty of support among Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos chiefs but made clear he wouldn’t talk to any clubs until after Euro 2024. There is yet to be any suggestion that contact was made with the England boss.
Kieran McKenna
Talks were opened with McKenna’s representatives before the FA Cup final, but the former Man Utd coach opted to sign a new deal with Ipswich after Ten Hag’s Wembley win.
Roberto De Zerbi
Allegedly sounded out before the FA Cup final with salary expectations discussed. But Ineos chiefs concluded ex-Brighton boss was not the right fit for the project.
Thomas Frank
Brentford boss met Man Utd representatives the day before the FA Cup final. The Dane also dined with Ratcliffe, Roy Hodgson and Frank Lampard at the launch of a new Ineos car in February.
Marco Silva
Fulham boss reportedly met Man Utd representatives face-to-face two days before the FA Cup final, around the same time as Ten Hag was conducting his press conference.
Mauricio Pochettino
Fell out of Man Utd’s thinking in the first week of June, despite being a favourite of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Thomas Tuchel
Made a very strong impression and came across well during a Monaco meeting. Personal terms were discussed before the ex-Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss decided to step back from the process.
Ruben Amorim
Sporting boss was discussed by the Man Utd hierarchy but did not make the final reckoning.
Roberto Martinez
Portugal manager was considered in the early stages.
Paris Saint-Germain have expressed an interest in signing him as a replacement for Real Madrid-bound Kylian Mbappe in recent months.
The Red Devils could also decide to cash-in on academy graduate Scott McTominay to boost transfer funds.
United manager Ten Hag is expected to sign a new contract this summer.
The Dutchman’s future at Old Trafford had been in doubt following a poor Premier League campaign.
However, an FA Cup final win over Manchester City saved his job.
