Manchester United are looking at Saudi Pro League as a lifeline as the Old Trafford giants look to offload some of their struggling first-team stars to the Middle-East league.

Following the arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS, the club are likely to employ a stern approach to their transfer policy.

It is understood that United are open to shipping some of the first-team stars that have been underperforming for some years and the list includes four names as of now- Jadon Sancho, Antony, Aaron-Wan Bissaka, and Casemiro.

Jadon Sancho and Antony top the list of United's prized assets among the under-performers. United are reportedly ready to offload both players in a bid to recoup a portion of the £155 million spent on their acquisitions.

The Red Devils are actively reaching out to big-spending clubs in Saudi Arabia, hoping to secure deals that will allow them to reinvest in the squad.

Sancho, who arrived at Old Trafford with high expectations, found himself out of favor with manager Erik ten Hag after a public spat regarding his efforts in training. The English winger was subsequently loaned back to Borussia Dortmund, raising questions about his future with Manchester United.

The club's decision to part ways with Sancho is fueled by the desire to find a more suitable environment for the talented player, and also to free up funds for potential transfers.

On the other hand, Antony, the former Ajax winger, has struggled to make a significant impact since joining the Premier League giants. With zero goals and assists in 22 appearances this season, Antony has found himself in and out of the starting XI.

United, eager to revamp their squad again, are reportedly looking to offload Antony as part of their strategic overhaul.

United have initiated talks with big-spending clubs in Saudi Arabia, exploring the possibility of finding interested parties for both Sancho and Antony.

The Manchester giants are optimistic about securing substantial transfer fees for the wingers, with the club reportedly targeting £50 million for each player in the upcoming summer transfer window.

United are also ready to ship off Casemiro who have struggled this season. The former Real Madrid midfielder played a crucial role in United's top-four finish and Carabao Cup win. However, INEOS reportedly are ready to offload the aging midfielder to free up more wages.

Surprisingly United right-back Aaron Wan Bissaka reportedly has also caught the eye of some Saudi Pro League sides including Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr.

Al-Nassr are reportedly ready to table a bid for Aaron Wan-Bissaka as they look for a new full-back in January.

The 26-year-old English defender has fallen the pecking order at Old Trafford and if any decent offer locks down, there's every chance of United letting him leave.

United are not expected to make many moves in the January window. However, the funds generated from these potential sales would provide the necessary financial backing for further investments in the squad in the summer.
