"Manchester United are reportedly ready to offload both Casemiro and Jadon Sancho instead of triggering the option to extend their contracts by a year. The Red Devils could do with making some changes to their squad and have long looked like they need to be a bit smarter about how they spend their money. There has been a report from TEAMtalk about Man Utd offloading three players and using the funds to bring in three new ones, and now similar is being reported elsewhere."
"The report explains this would save the club 31m a year off their wage bill, so it's easy to see why they're leaning towards letting the duo leave as soon as possible. In theory, United could trigger the option to keep them for one more year, but it's easy to imagine that they might struggle to find buyers for them, and then end up being saddled with that 31m extra on their wage bill again."
Manchester United are prepared to allow Casemiro and Jadon Sancho to leave when their contracts expire, foregoing one-year extension options. Letting both go would cut approximately £31m from the club's annual wage bill. The club fears retaining them on extended deals could leave them unable to sell the players and still liable for the high wages. Sancho has struggled at Manchester United and is on loan at Aston Villa, with Villa unlikely to sign him permanently; talks have taken place about a move to Turkey. Casemiro's performances have improved but age makes long-term planning difficult; moves to Saudi or MLS are plausible.
