Which Man United players are out of contract next summer?

Club Honours

FA Cup (1): 2023-24

McTominay was linked with a move away from Man United in the summer of 2023, but he ultimately remained at Old Trafford and was an important player for the club during the 2023-24 campaign.

The Scotland international scored 10 times and registered three assists in 43 appearances for the Red Devils last term, and he could now be handed a new contract, although his current deal includes the option of a 12-month extension.

Mason Greenwood

Age: 22

Position: Right-sided attacker

Transfer value: £21.1m

Joined: Academy graduate

Joining fee: N/A

Man United appearances: 129

Man United goals: 35

Greenwood is back at Old Trafford after a loan spell at Getafe during the 2023-24 campaign.

However, the Englishman is unlikely to play for the Red Devils again, with a departure on a permanent basis this summer expected to be the outcome to his situation.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Joining fee: £50m

Wan-Bissaka made 30 appearances for Man United during the 2023-24 campaign, with the defender benefitting from the team's injury problems.

The 26-year-old is being linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer, though, and it is thought that he could return to Crystal Palace during the upcoming market.

Harry Maguire

Age: 31

Position: Centre-back

Transfer value: £15.3m

Joining fee: £80m

Maguire was thought to be surplus to requirements at Old Trafford last summer, but he managed to win back the trust of head coach Erik ten Hag during the 2023-24 campaign.

The centre-back is unlikely to leave the Red Devils this summer unless a large offer arrives, and the 31-year-old could even potentially be offered a contract extension by the club, although his current deal has a clause which can be activated to take him until June 2026.

Amad Diallo

Age: 21

Position: Right winger

Transfer value: £15.3m

Joined: January 2, 2021

Joining fee: £37m

Diallo ended the 2023-24 campaign with 12 appearances to his name, scoring twice and providing one assist, with the 21-year-old showing his potential late in the season.

The Ivorian is expected to be a part of the first-team squad at Old Trafford for next term, and his contract also includes a clause which can be activated to take him until June 2026.

Lindelof was restricted to just 28 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign due to injury, and the Sweden international is facing an uncertain future at the club.

The 29-year-old has made 259 appearances for the Red Devils since his arrival, but it is believed that the club are willing to listen to offers for him in the upcoming market.

Hannibal made 10 appearances for Man United last season, including five outings in the Premier League, but he spent the second half of the campaign on loan at Sevilla.

Eriksen has proven to be a dependable performer for Man United since his arrival on a free transfer from Brentford, but he lost his starting role in midfield during the 2023-24 campaign.

The Denmark international is currently being linked with a move away from Old Trafford, and it is believed that he is keen to seek a transfer in order to secure regular football at this stage of his career.

The midfielder has failed to show his best form for the Red Devils since arriving from Ajax.

Fernandes has been an outstanding player for Man United since his arrival from Sporting in January 2020, but there is currently speculation surrounding his future.
