MU has made a return to the Champions League and is looking to increase their competitiveness for the upcoming season. However, before considering bringing in new players, coach Erik ten Hag needs to offload those who are not part of his plans.
Recently, clubs in the Saudi Pro League have expressed interest in recruiting European stars. Following the confirmations of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Harry Kane to play in Asia next season, Saudi Arabian clubs are also attempting to attract other notable players such as Ruben Neves from Wolves, Son Heung Min and Mendy from Tottenham, Hakim Ziyech and Aubameyang, as well as Chelsea’s Koulibaly.
According to reports from The Athletic, Manchester United’s stars have also caught the attention of teams in the top Saudi Arabian football league. The five players on their radar are Eric Bailly, Alex Telles, Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek, and Fred, respectively.
All five players mentioned above are currently under contract with Manchester United. If the club decides to sell them to teams in Saudi Arabia, it would result in a significant financial gain, which could be invested in new signings. The club is likely to accept any offers received, but the crucial factor is whether the players themselves are interested in moving to Asia to continue their careers.
