Onana can still be negotiated because he only needs motivation and is given high trust by Amorim.
What makes you think he lacks motivation though? From the last few games that I watched Onana makes too many mistakes and it's doubtful a lack of motivation is the issue. He performed quite well before, saving Manchester United from losing. Judging from interviews he has a strong personality, if that's the right word for it. I don't think motivation is the issue for him tbh, just consistency on stopping goals. It's not a bad choice to look for another first-choice goalkeeper and put Onana as backup IMO. CMIIW.

In the past, Manchester United failed to scout and sign younger talents but rather went for overrated players which didn't turn out well, but i think this new Sporting management of the club led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his crew are beginning to figure out the errors made by the previous management (Glaziers) and seeking possible solution, so i believe that's why they're beginning to prioritize younger talents over made players that would be signed for a huge figure yet they won't make much impact to the team, it's a welcome development and highly needed concerning the transition stage they're currently in, Ruben Amorin would be pleased with this cause he needs younger talents who would hit the ground running and blend in immediately they come in for him to succeed as a manager here.
Experienced players are also quite important to make the team stronger but previously they did not take advantage of the young talent they had so they spent a lot of money to recruit expensive players but the team did not develop. Some positions need experienced players because they can motivate young talents and the experience they have can give them confidence when facing crucial matches in the competition. Now the method is starting to be improved and young talents are starting to be integrated into the team so we can see that there are many young players who get the chance to play. Amorim's strategy has also not been fully implemented by the players because it may need adaptation and maybe if he is given a longer chance there will be a big change for Manchester United. 
Jonny Evans, Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, Harry Maguire are players who have the potential to be released by Manchester United in the upcoming transfer market, because they are over 30 years old. Several other players also have the potential to be included in Manchester United sales list, even Rashford and Onana are currently rumored to be released too. In my opinion, it is time for The Red Devils management to rejuvenate the squad, this step is also a form of support for Ruben Amorim. Actualy, a player like Antony also deserves to be released, the former Ajax player has failed to meet expectations, it can be seen that his market value has now dropped significantly.
I quite agree with the 4 players who will be sold because apart from their age, they are now starting to be no longer relevant to the attractive game that Amorim wants to bring. Rashford performance is also not too prominent but Onana can still be negotiated because he only needs motivation and is given high trust by Amorim. With the results of the player sales that if successful, Man United has the opportunity to improve several vulnerable positions. 
I do believe that Manchester United should include one or two new players and give them a chance to see how they fit in the team. The performance of them is on the decline and we are seeing this in this season where they have won only 5 matches in premier league and lost 6 matches. They aren't in the top 10 teams currently on the points standing and it is obviously against their standard. Also keep in mind, just bringing new blood in the team won't have an immediate effect but in the long run, it will be beneficial for the team.
Not many managers can join a team and make use of the old players there to get success, they have to alter the team by selling some, loan others and bring in their own players to get better results. In January when the transfer window opens, we should be expecting Manchester United to be very busy in the transfer. Even though they don't bring in the players that we are expecting, atleast they have to let go of alot of flops that they have currently at the club that isn't contributing anything to the team but only receiving salary weekly and making Manchester United to be at a lost. The summer transfer should be when the buying of players should be active.
I'm thinking Manchester United's priority is to release Rashford instead of those old players. I know they have to offload a lot of players, but as far as i know i see no demand came to their old players. They're lack of budget to rebuild their club and has to sold the players who have big demand.
The only best way is that selling rashford. I don't even see a reason to keep him much longer in the club. He's been consistently declining. It's good to sell him first, then think about how to offload the rest later.
However, there may be some fans disagree with me, but that's fine. Selling Rashford is the only way for Amorim to get money asap.
Real Madrid has been received the offers from several big clubs for Arda Guller including Leverkusen that apparently Leverkusen is really serious want to bought Arda Guller from Real Madrid this summer even they are willing to pay with expensive price for transfer fees as long as Real Madrid want to release this player but Real Madrid has give their statements regarding these rumours that Real Madrid said Arga Guller is important asset for them so they don't have any plan to sell him in the near future moreover Arda Guller also looks happy to playing with Real Madrid and he don't want to leaving this team

The problem is not to release players but to get the required replacement. Marcus Rashford and Andre Onana shouldn't be on the list of players that will be offloaded. The English player will do well under the right coach and support. Onana has the highest goalkeeper clean sheets in the EPL, so they might not find a quality replacement in the market. The Red Devils will also need to consider the financial fair play. 
Alexander-Arnold have longed been linked to Real Madrid for a while now and this news is not coming as a shock to me as Real Madrid is really in need of a player to take over Carvajal’s position who is already out of season and his age also won’t make him to perform optimally as he use to in the past. If Alexander-Arnold did not renew his contract, that’s already a big sign that he’s ready to move to Real Madrid when they come with the offer by January and it’ll be a boost to his career too.
It's true. Liverpool's Trent Alexander Arnold has been linked with Real Madrid in recent time. Real Madrid is a club most footballers dream of playing for in their prime years. It is possible Trent Alexander Arnold will not sign a contract extension at Liverpool as he will be hoping to play for the biggest club in the world and write his name in the history books alongside with the greats that have wore the Real Madrid shirt. So when he keeps stays in Liverpool, he will be a legend form fanatic fans, forever.
Soooo? Don't you think it's strange that a player openly complains that he doesn't receive an offer from the club where he has been playing so well for so long? Maybe because the club isn't ready to make him an offer that would be comparable to the Saudi Arabian option (that's my guess)? Do you have any thoughts on this?
Personally I don’t like the way the way the player actually brought or rather threw away money meant for nation safeguard. We can say this was wrong to publicly call out the club from not giving another contract, this act to me might be to push the club into getting him a new contract but Liverpool themselves are relaxed which somehow is good but seriously risky as they can get the player to have agree elsewhere before their improved contract comes

It seems Liverpool was targeted Lucas Clarke the player of Manchester City. Lucas Clarke was a player of Manchester City's Academy and he was growing up in that team.
Now since Liverpool hired this player they wanted to say they could hire the younger players of the competitor's teams.
It's not the first time for Liverpool to do this and they hired Trey Nyoni before back in 2023 also Amara Nallo from West Ham.
It's a good thing for Liverpool trying to bring in young players. Lucas Clarke is a young and talented footballer and I’m sure his transfer to Liverpool will surely bring out the best in him. And I am glad to see Liverpool gradually going back to their traditional way of investing in young players and nurturing them, and making them to realize their full potentials. Now since Liverpool hired this player they wanted to say they could hire the younger players of the competitor's teams.

I don't understand why you wrote this? Have you forgotten that Liverpool didn't make any offer to Salah for a long time and Salah even spoke about it in an interview? Or have you forgotten how in the summer of 2023 he already tried to leave for Al-Ittihad? The Saudis offered him 200 million for 3 years, it is obvious that Liverpool cannot make a comparable offer, so the "negotiations" are going so sluggishly (and most likely will end in nothing).
I have not forgotten it. The moment when Salah said he has't not yet received offer from Liverpool happened at the end of last month (19 days ago). The news I mentioned above is coming at the beginning of this week (Dec 9). Soooo? Don't you think it's strange that a player openly complains that he doesn't receive an offer from the club where he has been playing so well for so long? Maybe because the club isn't ready to make him an offer that would be comparable to the Saudi Arabian option (that's my guess)? Do you have any thoughts on this?
Trent Alexander-Arnold, who didn't renew his contract with Liverpool, looks set to move to Real Madrid. Ancelotti wants him in particular. With Carvajal injured and out for the season, Real Madrid could pay a fee for him in January. Liverpool could accept 30 million Euro for him. That's the news I've seen and it makes perfect sense to me.
By the way, Aston Villa will offer 80 million Euro for Kenan Yıldız. The star of Juventus could go to the Premier League if such an offer comes. It's necessary to sell the player who finds his value. If this transfer takes place, Kenan Yıldız will become the most expensive Turkish footballer.
I believe Trent Alexander Arnold’s mind is fixed on moving to Real Madrid and I don't think Liverpool will accept such an offer for one of their star player. Trent Alexander Arnold is one of the best young and talented full back so they will want to demand a much higher transfer fee. I read Liverpool has already offered a contract extension to TAA so obviously it is not their intention to let him go. By the way, Aston Villa will offer 80 million Euro for Kenan Yıldız. The star of Juventus could go to the Premier League if such an offer comes. It's necessary to sell the player who finds his value. If this transfer takes place, Kenan Yıldız will become the most expensive Turkish footballer.
I don't think Kenan Yildiz is worth 80 million Euros, he’s just a teenager and it would be insane for Aston Villa to spend that amount to sign him.

So, no more talk about Davies to go to the Real Madrid, right? Madrid has denied their interest to sign Davies caused by they only want to sign him for free. It seems what people have been talked in the last few weeks were not coming true.
For me, it's a usual thing to see Madrid decided it. They have big income last season, but they have also big loan as well. They have to be even more careful when using their money.
They're trying to be creative when they're poor. They try to make sure they won't end like Barcelona.

The contracts of these 3 players (Ericksen, Maguire and Evans) will expire in 2025 and Casemiro expires in 2026 meaning that these three players will probably leave on a free transfer eventually but indeed this is still a natural thing for Ericksen and Evans because of their age but actually it is quite unfortunate for Maguire because in the previous few seasons he has even been offered and Manchester United will definitely get a little income from the sale only ETH holds Maguire which makes him likely to leave as a free agent at the end of this season.But indeed this could be a good thing because after all the reshuffle and regeneration must continue for the Amorim era and with the departure of several players then inevitably management must be prepared to pour funds so that Amorim can make his ideal squad for Manchester United so that he can be more confident in giving a performance next season.
In the present now, many clubs are beginning to look into prioritizing young players over older players who would make up their team squad for long term purposes. Manchester United choosing to go in that area(more young players) is not a bad idea because it is much better to have a coach who will use his hands to groom the players to the formation he wants, over time they will fit into the position he wants them to be, instead of having older players who would keep messing up without showing good results in the pitch. However, all these would take time before the results would manifest, I believe Manchester United management and fans would trust the process rather than being in a hurry to call for the sack of Amorim when the young players haven't mastered each other playing patterns
Ruben Amorim I think have the experience that's sufficient enough to build a young team into a world class team so with the backing of the club's management, he'll surely achieve his aims.
It is a good investment for Manchester United, Diego León is a young talent and I think Manchester United needs to starting replacing the old squad with new young players. This signifies Manchester United aim in trying to build for the future. Chelsea made a lot of young signings last season and people laughed at them but look what the team now, they are playing well and winning games.

Also keep in mind, just bringing new blood in the team won't have an immediate effect but in the long run, it will be beneficial for the team.
if they can make the hard decision of signing some few young and talented player that will spice things up for the team, maybe they might start to get good result, and things might start to fall into place. as for some experienced playing coming into the team that are already playing ion a top league, it will be difficult to see a player that is ready to join the team at the time it appears as though things is getting more difficult for them. it's going to be a long process before they will come out of this tough mess but what will make it faster will be the signing of some young talents that rare ready to give it all for the team.
A couple of days ago there was information in the media that the club management is finally ready to say goodbye to almost half of the squad. Probably by ‘squad’ they meant not the main squad, but the main core of the team, because there are a lot of players. So if they start selling players in the winter, they will clear the squad by the summer and will be able to recruit new players in the summer, while building a normal squad at the same time

Having just young players never ended in good for any club because we also needed few well experienced players those can do better and solid things while clubs facing challenges, no doubt many clubs relaying on youngsters but still they also usually keep few players those give them long time and better results like Luka Modrić in Real Madrid and many other players like him into many other clubs situations are changing drastically because many youngsters in pipeline those are ready to replace.Now as we see few good changes of coaches in few clubs we will surely have many changes into clubs while we will be having end of this season with this many old players will be replaced and things could be on good level for having good changes.

Maybe this is related to their thinking of selling Rashford? However he is playing as LW the most this season. Therefore I don't know why they plan to sign a 3rd striker for the team.
If they are thinking of parting ways with Zirkzee or Hojlund then I would understand. But I didn't see any rumour about these players to leave either.
I believe Vlahovic is more talented than both of those two though.
But if I were in their shoes, I would sign a LW instead of parting ways with Rashford. A really reliable one I mean.They should take a bit from Chelsea, i am confident that we won't be seeing Chelsea trade any of their starting XI because they already went ahead accumulating just enough young players that can work over time not initially at this spot. Maresca said it, they are not ready or competing for the title at this stage, clearly next season might be them with any other team to compete because they are already laying the foundation of perfection which we are already feeling the energy.
