However, there is still much work to be done. The extra games will likely require additional squad members, but that&#8217;s before factoring in players who are set to leave, such as Casemiro. If the Brazilian and Jadon Sancho move on after their contracts expire, the club would save significantly on personnel costs, and it is expected that there will be interest from other members of the squad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>United have struggled to retain captain Bruno Fernandes, but the Portuguese midfielder is once again attracting praise. With the World Cup starting on June 11, it may be difficult to complete all planned transfer business early. However, the priority is likely to be the appointment of the club&#8217;s next permanent manager, with decision-makers yet to decide whether to retain interim manager Michael Carrick or replace him with someone with more experience at the top level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Take a look at the latest headlines coming out of Old Trafford&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Galatasaray pay attention to Fernandes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>According to Sky Sports Germany, United captain Fernandes remains a coveted target for Galatasaray.
