Man Utd news: Five stars Michael Carrick may sell as £47m ace to arrive in summer transfer
Manchester United are eyeing summer transfers both incoming and outgoing as Champions League qualification remains key to the Premier League giants' ambitions
Sunday's clash with Crystal Palace will present Manchester United with another opportunity to consolidate their grip on a top-four spot.
They invested more than £200million last summer on players who have consistently featured under Carrick and his predecessor Ruben Amorim, though further reinforcement will likely be required. There's also the matter of generating extra revenue, beyond the wage savings that will materialise when highest earner Casemiro departs following his contract's expiration. Here's all the latest updates from around Old Trafford.
Five players could be sold
United could potentially generate up to £170million through offloading five first-team squad players, reports the Mirror.
According to the MEN, selling this quintet would provide the financial backing to pursue Nottingham Forest duo Elliot Anderson and Morgan Gibbs-White, who might be obtainable even if Forest avoid the drop.
Loan stars
Two of these departures wouldn't shock anyone. Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund might bring in approximately £64million combined.
That's if Barcelona and Napoli activate options included in loan agreements for the pair, although Barca are reportedly seeking to negotiate down their £26million Rashford deal.
Rashford, 28, who left United after an explosive fallout with former manager Ruben Amorim, has scored 10 goals 34 games for the La Liga giants, while £72m flop Hojlund has bagged 12 times in 33 outings for the Serie A side.

Skipper Bruno Fernandes could also be permitted to depart following Saudi Arabian attention, with The Mail suggesting clubs beyond the Premier League can secure the midfielder for £56.8million.
Losing their captain and chief creator would be a huge blow to United, but the man who has reached 200 goal contributions in his time at Old Trafford is 31 and turns 32 in September, so now may be a wise time to sell.
He came close to leaving the club last summer, when he said the United hierarchy wanted him to leave. Al-Hilal were allegedly willing to stump up £100million for his services.
His contract runs until summer 2027 and United retain an option to extend that deal by an additional 12 months, but the prospect of securing a nine-figure fee for a player approaching his twilight years might prove irresistible.
Add another joint £48million for 24-year-old striker flop Joshua Zirkzee and 27-year-old Mason Mount - the ex-Chelsea midfielder who moved up north for £55m but has been consistently injured ever since - and the resources for a double Forest swoop could be available.

Andre Onana is eager to return to Old Trafford and compete for his number one position at United, according to The Guardian.
The £47m mega flop is on a season-long loan at Trabzonspor but isn't anticipated to remain in Turkey past the summer, where he has also failed to impress.
Cameroon international Onana was recruited as first choice under Erik ten Hag but was allowed to depart on loan following repeated blunders.
United secured Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp just days before the former Inter star's exit and the new goalkeeper has received commendation from Carrick in recent weeks.
"Senne is quite quiet and unassuming at times, but he's got a real steel," Carrick remarked about Belgian shot-stopper Lammens following Monday's victory at Everton. "The jump he made to come here is huge. To take it like he has done and just get on with things speaks volumes about his personality."
