Potential Departures of Senior Manchester United Players

Introduction

Three senior Manchester United players could potentially leave the club this week. The club did not make any signings in the January transfer window due to Sir Jim Ratcliffe's 25% investment, which is still being ratified by the Premier League.

Club Objectives

Despite the lack of new signings, Manchester United aims to secure a good league finish, make a deep run in the FA Cup, and impress the incoming INEOS team, who will take charge of the club's football operations.

Possible Departures

Christian Eriksen, who has been linked with a move to Galatasaray, could potentially leave Old Trafford before the Turkish transfer window closes on February 9. However, there is little confidence that a deal can be done before the deadline. Galatasaray is reportedly more likely to pursue Eriksen in the summer.

Anthony Martial, who is currently injured and has only six months left on his United contract, was the subject of a bid from Fenerbahce earlier in the window. Although Fenerbahce is favored to sign Martial, there is still time for them to make another approach before the transfer window closes.

Raphael Varane, whose United contract expires at the end of the season, has been linked with a move to Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. While the Saudi transfer window is closed, Varane may consider a move to Major League Soccer in the coming weeks or months.

Conclusion

Manchester United faces the potential departure of three senior players this week. The club will need to carefully manage these situations and make strategic decisions to maintain a competitive squad.
