A lot has gone wrong for Manchester United this season and new co-owners INEOS are desperate to right the wrongs of the Glazers and a pivotal summer transfer window lies ahead for the club.
But before the new-look behind-the-scenes team can get on with the recruitment side of things, the club will need to move on players due to FFP restrictions.
And Sir Jim Ratcliffe is already planning a large-scale summer exodus with the number of players set to depart in double figures.
One of them is set to be Donny van de Beek, who left the club on loan in January to join Eintracht Frankfurt but has endured a nightmarish spell so far.
The Netherlands international has started only four times for the German club with manager Dino Toppmoller even going as far as to exclude him from the UEFA Conference League squad.
The Bundesliga club are unlikely to trigger the €10 million buy option included in his loan contract, which means the former Ajax star is all set to return to Manchester where he has hardly got a look-in since his €39 million move back in 2020.
He started only 19 games in his first two seasons with both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and interim manager Ralf Rangnick not deeming him good enough to start games consistently for the club.
