The decision comes after a disappointing season, where Manchester United finished 15th in the Premier League with just 42 points from 38 games. This marks the club's worst performance in the league's history.

Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof, and Jonny Evans are among the notable first-team players who have left the club. Additionally, third-choice goalkeeper Tom Heaton has also departed, although Manchester United is in talks with him about a potential new contract.

Furthermore, six academy players - Hubert Graczyk, Jack Kingdon, Sam Murray, Tom Myles, James Nolan, and Tom Wooster - have been released as their contracts with the club have expired.
