The departures and stays of Man United's stars have been rumoured for months. Some players who are considered poor performers such as Onana, Hojlund, Zirkzee have almost no chance of staying at Old Trafford - even in the event of winning the Europa League.

And right after the defeat, the future of many stars became even clearer. According to reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano, Man United's board of directors has determined to sell 8 players this summer.

The 8 specific names are Casemiro, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Andre Onana, Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund, Kobbie Mainoo and captain Bruno Fernandes.

There is no surprise in the case of Onana, Garnacho, Hojlund and Casemiro. These 4 players were already in the priority group to leave because of their poor performance over the past many years.

The future of all four players became clearer after the Europa League final. Casemiro played poorly, Onana and Hojlund played worse, and Garnacho publicly criticized coach Amorim for being benched.

In the case of Maguire and Shaw, these are two English pillars with a voice in the dressing room. But both are often injured and have very high salaries.

Meanwhile, Mainoo is a young star with a lot of potential. But the management and coaching staff of Man United are not satisfied with the attitude of the 20-year-old midfielder, when he has been pressuring for a pay rise for many months.

Finally, there is the special case of Bruno Fernandes - the captain and also a rare pillar who has maintained his form this season.

However, Bruno Fernandes is often criticized for his cumbersome playing style, frequent ball loss and unsuitable personality for being a captain. Immediately after the defeat, Bruno told the media that he was "ready to leave if the team wanted to sell".

Except for Mainoo and Garnacho - players with low salaries because they are young, 6 stars make up the majority of Man United's salary fund.

Specifically, Casemiro's salary is the highest in the team - 18 million pounds/year, followed by Bruno (15.6 million), Maguire (10 million), Shaw (8 million), Onana (6.3 million) and Hojlund (4.4 million).

The sale of these 8 players promises to bring Man United no less than 200 million pounds in transfer fees, while freeing up at least 60 million pounds in salary funds.

In another development, Man United's board of directors has confirmed that they will cut 200 employees next month. This is the second massive staff cut by the "Red Devils", after laying off 200 people at the end of last year.
