Manchester United could be in line to save a significant amount on their weekly wage bill, with four of their higher earners in line to leave the club in the summer.
United have brought Bruno Fernandes closer to their best-paid players with a new deal, but the increase for the Portugal midfielder could be eclipsed by the savings made elsewhere. Indeed, as much as £750,000 could be knocked off the bill in total.
The situation wouldn't even require Ralf Rangnick 's side to make any sales, either, with the quartet all out of contract in the summer. And the savings could pave the way for further investment ahead of an important season under a new permanent manager as a top-four finish becomes a tougher ask.
