Man Utd 'expect' to complete three transfers as Kobbie Mainoo future decided

Manchester United trio Antony, Jadon Sancho and Rasmus Hojlund are all expected to leave the club before the summer transfer deadline, according to reports. However, Kobbie Mainoo seems set to remain at Old Trafford until January, at least, unless a significant offer for the 20-year-old midfielder arrives.

United are in for a busy final six days of the window, with incomings and outgoings to sanction before the clock strikes 7pm on September 1. Senne Lammens appears at the top of Ruben Amorim's transfer wishlist and looks set to complete a £17million switch from Royal Antwerp to add competition in goal.

However, the majority of United's focus will be on outgoings after a summer of prolonged efforts to raise funds through player sales.

The Red Devils haven't yet completed a sale, with Marcus Rashford's loan exit for Barcelona the most high-profile exit thus far.

That has always been likely to change closer to the deadline, though, given the number of players exiled from Amorim's squad.

Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia have trained on their own since the start of pre-season.

Meanwhile, Amorim has also informed Rasmus Hojlund that he would be better off exploring a new challenge because minutes will be difficult to come by this term.

According to The National, Antony, Sancho and Hojlund are expected to depart in the coming days as talks continue.

United held discussions with Real Betis over the Brazilian winger's return as recently as Monday. However, they have rejected multiple loan proposals and want a permanent sale.

Sancho is also said to be the subject of serious interest after failing to agree on a contract with Chelsea and rejecting AS Roma.

And Hojlund is, too, set to depart, with suitors in multiple countries, including England, Germany and Italy, making their interest known.

The 22-year-old striker is thought to be closing in on a move to Napoli after an injury to Romelu Lukaku intensified Antonio Conte's interest.

Garnacho to Chelsea remains alive, but there is still a gap between the two clubs' valuations. Meanwhile, Malacia's future is uncertain.

The report adds that Mainoo is expected to stay at United beyond the deadline. However, the Red Devils would consider cashing in if a big offer arrived.

Whether any late sales would help facilitate a push for a midfield signing remains to be seen. But United's current focus appears to be on Lammens.
