Reports suggest that Manchester United is looking to offload up to four players to Barcelona during the summer transfer window.
While the Red Devils enjoyed a successful first season under Erik ten Hag, claiming an FA Cup final berth, League Cup silverware, and securing a top-four finish, their performance this season has been less consistent. Manchester United’s early exit from the Champions League group stage and their current seventh position in the Premier League standings reflect these struggles.
Several signings that Ten Hag had targeted have failed to live up to expectations, prompting co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe to explore options to offload some players before the summer. According to Spanish publication Nacional, Ratcliffe has contacted Barcelona to offer four players at a reasonable price.

The quartet reportedly includes Christian Eriksen, Raphael Varane, Casemiro, and Tyrell Malacia, whose combined transfer value amounts to £124 million. However, it may prove challenging for Barcelona to secure signings like Casemiro or Varane, who have significant ties to arch-rivals Real Madrid.
Casemiro, in particular, has faced criticism for his performances this season, with former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp comparing his play to a leisurely pace seen in charity matches like Soccer Aid. Redknapp emphasized the importance of setting the right example for younger players and questioned Casemiro’s commitment and effort on the pitch.
