Sofyan Amrabat is going back to Fiorentina after finishing the season-long loan. Victor Lindelöf, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Facundo Pellistri’s contract will also expire in a year and hence a decision on their future will also be made.

The Red Devils have had a poor selling spree in the past with only five players making them £25 million or above.
