“Following the closure of the January transfer window, Manchester United is gearing up to finalize their Premier League squad for the rest of the 2023/24 season. Despite Financial Fair Play restrictions limiting their ability to make first-team signings this winter, the club witnessed a flurry of departures as they aimed to streamline their squad.
As part of this exodus, three players initially included in the September 25-man Premier League squad will no longer be registered for the team this month. Jadon Sancho, Donny van de Beek, and Sergio Reguillon departed for various reasons. Sancho, who had not featured since September due to a public fallout with manager Erik ten Hag, secured a loan move to Borussia Dortmund. Van de Beek joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan until the season’s end, embarking on a challenging start in Germany after a lengthy period without significant game time. Meanwhile, Sergio Reguillon’s loan at United was terminated, leading him to join Brentford for the remainder of the season.
These players are not the sole omissions from the squad list, as winger Facundo Pellistri, on loan to Granada, is also unlikely to be registered. With no new signings and three departures, MEN Sport predicts that Manchester United will register 21 players for the remainder of the campaign. Notably, players like Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho, both under 21, do not require registration. The article speculates on the players expected to be registered by Ten Hag for the remainder of the season which are Sofyan Amrabat, Altay Bayindir, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro.
