Manchester United are planning to sign three more players this summer after Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund, according to reports.<\/p>\n

United have already started preparing for the summer transfer window, hoping for another productive period following their impressive recruitment last summer.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils were already planning to sign a new midfielder before Casemiro announced he was leaving and England\u2019s Elliot Anderson is believed to be their top choice.<\/p>\n

A new forward will also likely be signed to support Benjamin Sesko, while several pundits have suggested United can strengthen in the full-back positions.<\/p>\n

Manchester United\u2019s focus will not just be on incomings, however, with several sales necessary to offload unwanted players and trim the squad.<\/p>\n

Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia will follow Casemiro out as free agents, with the former linked with a return to Borussia Dortmund and the latter expected to return to Holland.<\/p>\n

Rashford and Hojlund will both be sold, with Barcelona still interested in the former and the latter on the verge of a permanent move to Napoli.<\/p>\n

There has been much speculation over Rashford\u2019s future at the Nou Camp but both the 28-year-old and his current club are keen to reach an agreement.<\/p>\n

Even if his desired move to Barcelona falls through, United have decided to move on from their academy graduate, who made over 400 appearances for the club, believing a split is in the best interest of all parties.<\/p>\n

Hojlund\u2019s future is more clear as he will activate a permanent move to Napoli worth \u00a338m if certain conditions are met, including the Italians qualifying for the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Antonio Conte\u2019s side are third in Serie A with eight games remaining, boasting an eight-point advantage to fifth-placed Juventus.<\/p>\n

Hojlund initially vowed to fight for his place at Manchester United but a move to Naples has worked out well for both him and his former club, who have been impressed by Sesko\u2019s development this season.<\/p>\n

United also hope to sell another player who is currently out on loan, goalkeeper Andre Onana, after loaning him to Turkish side Trabzonspor last summer.<\/p>\n

Onana was the No. 1 at Old Trafford for two seasons but never fully impressed, which cannot be said for his replacement Senne Lammens, who has enjoyed a superb first 12 months in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

The issue for Manchester United is that Onana still has two years left on his contract and is believed to be keen to return and fight Lammens for a place in the team.<\/p>\n

Onana\u2019s determination to revive his Red Devils career could make it difficult for United to sell this summer but they will do what they can to move him on.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\"Manuel\t<\/div>

Manchester United are also hoping to offload Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkzee, who continue to struggle to make an impact at the Theatre of Dreams.<\/p>\n

United spent over \u00a350m to sign Ugarte from PSG but the Uruguayan has underwhelmed in England and barely featured under caretaker boss Michael Carrick.<\/p>\n

Speaking last month, Ugarte suggested he too would try to stick it out at United and fight for a place in the side.<\/p>\n

Asked about his lack of minutes compared to some of his international teammates, Ugarte said: \u2018There are hardly any players who play every game.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s something you have to learn to deal with, and it\u2019s part of the career. I\u2019ve learned a lot, and I know my opportunity will come.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ugarte was heavily linked with a move away from Manchester United during the January transfer window and the club hope to sanction his exit this summer despite their desire for midfield reinforcements.<\/p>\n

Zirkzee will be another United sale, if the club get their way, after his difficult spell at Old Trafford over the past two seasons.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands international has scored just five league goals for the Red Devils and started only four league games this season.<\/p>\n

Zirkzee is believed to be another player hoping to stay and kick-started their United career but the club will sanction a sale for the right offer.<\/p>\n

Manchester United have climbed to third since Carrick returned as caretaker boss and return to action following a lengthy break next Monday against Leeds United.<\/p>\n
