Manchester United ends its season with a defeat in the FA Cup final against Chelsea

With a defeat against Chelsea in the FA Cup final (1-0), Manchester United put an end to its season. The Red Devils, who started the season with high expectations, were unable to defeat the Blues in the match that could have helped them salvage the campaign, and they will bid farewell to the 2017-2018 season with the Premier League runner-up as their only notable achievement.

Jose Mourinho's future and squad renewal

Since the continuity of Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho at the helm of the club is guaranteed, the next project of the club will inevitably involve fostering a deep renewal of a squad that has failed to perform at its best in key moments of the season.

Possible player sales to fund new signings

In this regard, today's edition of The Sun newspaper reports that Setúbal-born coach has already given the green light to the sale of several players who have not delivered the expected performance and could also bring in significant profits.

Players on the transfer list

The list of players to be sold includes French forward Anthony Martial and three defenders: Englishman Luke Shaw, Dutchman Daley Blind, and Italian Matteo Darmian. Manchester United hopes to earn around €100 million (approximately £114 million) from their sales, an amount that would assist in closing the signings that Mourinho already has in mind.
