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

Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester United's expiring contracts for this season and next.

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 at the end of June, or in the summer of 2025.


Which Man United players are out of contract this summer?

Raphael Varane

Position: Centre-back
Transfer value: £17m
Joined: July 27, 2021
Joining fee: £41m
Man United appearances: 95
Man United goals: 2

  • La Liga (3): 2011-12, 2016-17, 2019-20

  • Copa del Rey (1): 2013-14

  • Spanish Super Cup (4): 2012, 2017, 2019-20

  • Champions League (4): 2013-14, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18

  • EFL Cup (1): 2022-23

  • FIFA World Cup (1): 2018

  • UEFA Nations League (1): 2020-21

  • Varane's exit from Man United this summer has already been confirmed, with the ex-France international leaving the club when his contract expires at the end of June.

    The centre-back returned from injury to help the Red Devils win the 2023-24 FA Cup final, but ongoing fitness problems led to the club making the decision to not renew his deal.


    Anthony Martial

    Age: 28
    Position: Forward
    Transfer value: £8.5m

  • Martial's time with Man United will officially come to an end on June 30, with the club deciding not to hand him a new contract.

    The Frenchman has been unable to fulfil his early potential at Old Trafford, and like Varane, he has struggled with fitness problems; the forward will depart with 90 Man United goals to his name.


    Brandon Williams

    The 23-year-old was not involved in the second half of the season, though, and it has been confirmed that he will be leaving Man United on a free transfer this summer after 51 first-team appearances.

    The 36-year-old was initially signed as cover but proved to be an important player due to the team's injury problems, and a new deal for the Northern Ireland international is being discussed.


    Tom Heaton

    Position: Goalkeeper
    Transfer value: £213k

    Man United have offered the 19-year-old a new contract, but a decision on his future is yet to be made.


    Which Man United players are out of contract next summer?

    Scott McTominay

    Age: 27
    Position: Central midfielder
    Transfer value: £27.3m
    Joined: Academy graduate
    Joining fee: N/A
    Man United appearances: 252
    Man United goals: 29

    Honours

  • FA Cup (1): 2023-24

  • EFL Cup (1): 2022-23

  • McTominay was linked with a move away from Man United in the summer of 2023, but he ultimately remained at Old Trafford and was an important player for the club during the 2023-24 campaign.

    The Scotland international scored 10 times and registered three assists in 43 appearances for the Red Devils last term, and he could now be handed a new contract, although his current deal includes the option of a 12-month extension.


    Aaron Wan-Bissaka

    Age: 26
    Position: Right-back
    Transfer value: £17m
    Joined: July 1, 2019
    Joining fee: £50m
    Man United appearances: 190
    Man United goals: 2

    Honours

  • FA Cup (1): 2023-24

  • EFL Cup (1): 2022-23

  • Wan-Bissaka made 30 appearances for Man United during the 2023-24 campaign, with the defender benefitting from the team's injury problems.

    Harry Maguire

    Age: 31
    Position: Centre-back

    Joined: August 5, 2019
    Joining fee: £80m
    Man United appearances: 206
    Man United goals: 11

    Honours

  • EFL Cup (1): 2022-23

  • 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 centre-back is unlikely to leave the Red Devils this summer unless a large offer arrives, and the 31-year-old could even 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.


    Amad Diallo

    Honours

  • FA Cup (1): 2023-24

  • Scottish Cup (1): 2021-22

    The Ivorian is expected to be a part of the first-team squad at Old Trafford for next term, and his contract also includes a clause which can be activated to take him until June 2026.


    Victor Lindelof

    Age: 29
    Position: Centre-back
    Transfer value: £12.8m
    Joined: July 1, 2017
    Joining fee: £31m
    Man United appearances: 259
    Man United goals: 4

    Honours

  • Division 1 Norra (1): 2010

    The 29-year-old has made 259 appearances for the Red Devils since his arrival, but it is believed that the club are willing to listen to offers for him in the upcoming market.


    Christian Eriksen

    Age: 32

    Transfer value: £6.8m

  • KNVB Cup (1): 2009-10

  • Johan Cruyff Shield (1): 2013

  • Serie A (1): 2020-21

  • FA Cup (1): 2023-24

  • EFL Cup (1): 2022-23
  • Eriksen has proven to be a dependable performer for Man United since his arrival on a free transfer from Brentford, but he lost his starting role in midfield during the 2023-24 campaign.

    The Denmark international is currently being linked with a move away from Old Trafford, and it is believed that he is keen to seek a transfer in order to secure regular football at this stage of his career.
