Manchester United could sell French forward Anthony Martial and English right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer. According to the Athletic, the sale of Martial and Wan-Bissaka is seen as the easiest way to raise funds to rebuild the United squad this summer.

Manchester United are set to go through a mass exodus at the end of the month. Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, and Edinson Cavani are all set to leave the club after the expiration of their contracts on June 30. The Premier League giants will need to sign a number of top-quality players to replace them.

Erik ten Hag has been provided with a transfer budget of £120 million, per Daily Mail. Frenkie de Jong has emerged as one of the club's top transfer targets as Ten Hag is keen to sign a world-class midfielder this summer.

Barcelona are rumored to have rejected a £60 million bid from United for the Dutchman, as they are seeking a fee in the region of £80 million for the Dutchman, as per The Mirror.

Anthony Martial spent the second half of last season on loan with Spanish club Sevilla after growing frustrated with the lack of playing time at Old Trafford during the first half of the campaign. The Frenchman is contracted to United until 2024 and could fetch a decent fee in the transfer market this summer.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka endured a dismal 2021-22 campaign. He was heavily criticized for his lack of consistency and output in attack during the first half of the season. He eventually lost his place in the starting line-up to Diogo Dalot during the second half of the campaign. He could potentially have a number of suitors this summer.

According to the Daily Mail, AS Roma are plotting a move for Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The Italian club finished sixth in the Serie A table last season and won the Europa Conference League. They are keen to back Jose Mourinho this summer by making some astute signings.

The Portuguese manager will hope to do the same with Aaron Wan-Bissaka if he moves to the club. The English right-back will be keen to resurrect his career as well. Erik ten Hag's side are reportedly seeking a fee in the region of £26 million for the right-back. As per the report, Roma will only be interested in landing Wan-Bissaka if the deal includes a loan with an option to buy at the end of the spell.
