There is still time for big name departures from Old Trafford in spite of window shutting in England | OneFootball

Manchester United still have time to offload any players that they deem surplus to requirements at Old Trafford in spite of the window slamming shut last night.

The Red Devils have already sent numerous youngsters out on loan such as Ethan Wheatley, Ethan Ennis and Ethan Williams.

They have also loaned out senior players Marcus Rashford to Aston Villa and Antony to Real Betis.

Nonetheless, there is still a collection of players the club may look to move on as they aim to clear out deadwood in the squad.

It was reported last night that United viewed the window as an opportunity to clear space so that they could prioritise summer spending, even if that has left areas of the squad looking quite threadbare, noticeably the attack.

The Manchester Evening News state that “transfer windows remaining open after Monday night will allow United to offload some members of their squad should they wish to do so.”

“One country is Turkiye, with clubs in the Super Lig having until midnight on February 11 to complete their transfer business.”

In the Netherlands, clubs have an extra 24 hours to sign players, with the transfer window closing at midnight on Tuesday evening and Austria has a little longer with the window closing at 5pm on Thursday.

The extra 24 hours for the Netherlands will probably see Tyrell Malacia complete a move to PSV Eindhoven, with transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirming this morning that the player is in Holland ironing out the final details of his loan move.

The American market is also open until 23rd April, so there is still plenty of time for a United player to make a move to the MLS.

The most obvious potential departure is Casemiro, as he has found himself dropping below Toby Collyer in the midfield pecking order.

The Brazilian has been linked to moves to Turkiye and the United States, so there are still a couple of avenues for departure for the 32 year old former Real Madrid star.

Christian Eriksen is another player that the club may look to sell but with less than six months left on his contract, that looks increasingly unlikely to come to pass.

Victor Lindelof has also been linked with a move away from Old Trafford but with the devastating news of Lisandro Martinez’s cruciate ligament tear, it seems more likely now that he will stay until the summer.
