Manchester United’s summer transfer campaign is set to be fuelled by a number of sales, with numerous players set to leave the club to make way for players to come in.
Club record Gary Neville has put on the record that he believes at least four new faces are required in the first-team squad, although several more than that number are set to be sold.
Among those players who are set to leave the club is England international goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who is presently on loan at Nottingham Forest.

The 26-year-old was pinned by Erik ten Hag as his second choice when the Dutchman arrived at the club from Ajax last summer and was subsequently sent temporarily to Man Utd’s Premier League rivals.
It has been a complicated season for Henderson, who has not featured for Forest since sustaining a thigh injury in January. He now finds himself behind Keylor Navas, himself on loan from PSG, in the pecking order for the relegation-threatened side.
Nevertheless, he remains a highly regarded figure and boasts an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €19 million, making him a valuable asset for United when it comes to raising funds.

Dean Henderson transfer latest
According to The Athletic, there has been interest in the goalkeeper, whose contract at Old Trafford runs until 2025 with the option of one additional year.
It is stated that two clubs have made approaches over Henderson, and while there has been no concrete bid yet, it appears that the Red Devils are willing to sell. Indeed, everyone concerned with this deal prefers a permanent deal, with Henderson unhappy at the prospect of playing second fiddle behind David de Gea.
Henderson is unlikely to be the only England international to leave Manchester United this summer, with Harry Maguire earmarked to leave. Former U21 cap Aaron Wan-Bissaka is another who could go.
