Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to trim down Manchester United’s squad in the upcoming January transfer window by letting go of three high-priced underperformers. The English billionaire, who is nearing a 25% stake acquisition in the club, is poised to take full control of footballing operations upon his arrival. Collaborating closely with Erik ten Hag, he intends to evaluate the team before the winter window, with plans to part ways with three prominent players.

Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Anthony Martial, collectively acquired for £200 million, are the notable names facing potential exits as Ratcliffe aims to make a significant impact in his initial tenure at the club, as reported by The Sun. Sancho’s departure appears imminent following a rift with Ten Hag earlier in the season, leading to the player’s isolation and solo training sessions. The £73 million winger seems open to a January departure, provided Ten Hag remains in charge.

Antony, who arrived from Ajax with a hefty £82 million price tag, has struggled to find form since joining Old Trafford last summer. Yet to score a goal this season, a mid-season departure would be surprising, but current sentiments suggest supporters wouldn’t be overly disappointed.

In contrast, Anthony Martial’s exit has been anticipated for some time. Having cost £45 million, the Frenchman has seen limited playing time, making only four starts under Ten Hag this season. With his contract expiring in June 2024, failure to secure a buyer in January could result in United losing him for free.

This season has been challenging for the Red Devils, marked by their worst-ever start to a Premier League campaign. The recent Champions League defeat to Copenhagen was their ninth loss across all competitions, and a defeat to Luton on Saturday could see them drop into the bottom half of the Premier League table.
