Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick insists the club are no nearer to knowing where their four out-of-contract stars will be playing their football next season.

The Red Devils are facing a huge summer. With Erik ten Hag set to be confirmed as manager this week, United are preparing for wholesale changes. And it seems a brutal decision on Harry Maguire will be one of the first decisions made.

Elsewhere, the incoming new boss has a number of decisions to make about his squad. To that end, a report recently claimed there will be up to 11 players departing Old Trafford this summer.

The first of those, Nemanja Matic, has already confirmed this season will be his last at United. Signed for £40m in July 2017, the Serbian has played an increasingly dwindling role for the Red Devils.

Once one of the world’s elite defensive midfielders, Matic only has 18 Premier League appearances to his name this season.

Just who follows him out the exit door remains up for debate.

However, United do have a quartet of out of contract stars who appear certain to depart. To that end, plenty has been written about what the future holds for Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and, less so, Lee Grant.

Still, losing their club-record £89.3m signing for free (for a second time) does not sit well with United’s money men. To that, they have reportedly offered Pogba a record deal to stay.

Mata, for his part, appears destined to move back to Spain. To that end, a number of LaLiga clubs are looking at the veteran playmaker.
