Manchester United have made it clear to the Saudi Pro League clubs that multiple players are available during the summer transfer window.

According to reputed journalist Ben Jacobs, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr have shown interest in signing United defender Raphael Varane.

The Saudi clubs are also targeting Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Casemiro.

The Red Devils are planning a major overhaul this summer under new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Varane’s current deal with United will expire at the end of the season, while Wan-Bissaka has another year left in his contract.

Casemiro has suffered a massive dip in form and could also head out the exit door this summer.

Saudi clubs could present decent offers to Man United

It is no secret that not many clubs can afford the high wages that Varane and Casemiro earn at Old Trafford.

United may want the former Real Madrid centre-back to extend his deal but only on reduced terms.

However, no progress has been made on that front which signals that the two parties could part ways at the end of the campaign.

Casemiro played a critical role last season to help United earn Champions League football and win the League Cup.

However, the midfield general has been in poor form this season and is becoming a liability.

A new holding midfielder is high on United’s transfer shortlist. They will be hoping to sell Casemiro at a high price and use the funds to sign a younger replacement.

A lucrative offer for Wan-Bissaka could also persuade the Red Devils to off-load the former Crystal Palace man.
