Manchester United expiring contracts: Who is free to leave next summer and in 2026?

Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester United's expiring contracts for next summer and in 2026.

Manchester United have entered a new era under the leadership of new minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who has taken control of the football department at Old Trafford.

The futures of a number of first-team players are currently unclear, with big changes planned, as the club attempt to return to former glories.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the Man United players whose contracts either expire next summer or in June 2026.


Which Man United players are out of contract next summer?

Harry Maguire

  • Maguire was thought to be surplus to requirements at Old Trafford last summer, but he managed to win back the trust of head coach Erik ten Hag during the 2023-24 campaign.

    The 31-year-old could potentially be offered a contract extension by the club, although his current deal has a clause which can be activated to take him until June 2026.
