too with Rasmus Hojlund&#8217;s move to Napoli already confirmed after they qualified for the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.givemesport.com\/db\/sports-team\/manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Man United<\/a> know they need to freshen up a squad to ensure they can compete well on all fronts next season, having had no European football at all this season to deal with on the side of their successful Premier League campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Their main transfer priority is in central midfield, where up to three new faces could arrive during the summer to strengthen what is seen as the weakest area on the pitch for the Red Devils as the season comes to a close.<\/p>\n<p>Casemiro has been a key player in the Michael Carrick revolution, but the Brazilian will be leaving at the end of June when his contract expires, with Manuel Ugarte also likely to leave with Sir Jim Ratcliffe keen for the club to cash in on the Uruguayan following an underwhelming two-season spell at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>United will look at other areas of the pitch too however, including their frontline, where a back-up striker and left-sided player could also arrive, depending on other departures.<\/p>\n<p>                        Napoli Reach \u00a374m Agreement With United Star Hojlund<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"1650\" height=\"826\" loading=\"lazy\"

src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/hojlund-napoli-serie-a.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It was revealed that Napoli&#8217;s obligation to sign Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United for \u00a343m was confirmed when their qualification for the Champions League was sealed at the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Now, journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed an extra detail to the story, with an agreement over a \u00a374m release clause being written into the contract which is active from the summer of 2027.<\/p>\n<p>He said on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fKMpZaUAsNg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>: &#8220;Total package \u20ac50m, saving his salary, and also a small behind the scenes, Rasmus Hojlund at Napoli will have a release clause into his contract \u20ac85m (\u00a374m) ready from summer 2027.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hojlund has made a big impact for Napoli this season following his season-long loan spell last season, scoring 11 goals and registering six assists in 32 appearances in all competitions for the Serie A giants.<\/p>\n<p>                        Which Other Man United Players Could Leave?<\/p>\n<p>        <img

src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/jadon-sancho-in-action-for-aston-villa-vs-brentford.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Hojlund is unlikely to be the last United player to leave the club in the upcoming summer transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils are set to allow Jadon Sancho to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Plettigoal\/status\/2041821603344900192?lang=en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">leave on a free transfer<\/a> this summer, rather than taking up the option to extend his deal at Old Trafford for another year.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, another forward in Marcus Rashford looks likely to depart, although the latest suggestions are that Barcelona are keen to renegotiate the option they had for the England international after an impressive campaign at the Camp Nou.<\/p>\n<p>A decision will also need to be made on Andre Onana, who is set to return from his loan spell at Trabzonspor, with Senne Lammens now the undoubted number one at the &#8216;Theatre of Dreams&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Joshua Zirkzee is another forward to look out for this summer after persistent links to a move back to Serie A, and should he leave then United could then look to bring in another striker to compete with Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United could add multiple players to their squad this
