#3 – Jesse Lingard

Jesse Lingard was on fire when he joined West Ham United last season on loan. The midfielder had just one season left on his contract last summer and was touted to join the Hammers permanently.

However, Manchester United refused to sell him, and he has failed to make an impact at the club this season. Again in January, the midfielder was close to joining Newcastle United, but the Red Devils refused to let him leave due to unforeseen circumstances.

With the season ending, Lingard is set to leave Old Trafford as he is unlikely to pen a new deal.

Newcastle United and West Ham United are reportedly open to battling it out for the midfielder, and it could prove to be a significant transfer for both clubs as he could add the firepower they desperately need in attack.

While West Ham's David Moyes confirmed they tried to sign him last summer, Newcastle co-owner Amanda Staveley revealed they did everything possible to get him to St James' Park from Manchester United.

"We get criticised on the last day for: 'Oh, you're going after Jesse', well, Jesse wanted to come to us. We did everything. We never stopped. From the start to the finish, we did not stop working."

#2 – Anthony Martial

Anthony Martial has one foot out of Manchester United already as he is on loan at Sevilla. The Frenchman admitted he did not want to continue at Old Trafford and requested a move away in January.

The Red Devils sent him on loan to the Spanish club, hoping that he would return in a better mood when the next manager arrives, but reports suggest the striker has no plans to remain at Old Trafford.

Ralf Rangnick confirmed that the striker was looking for a fresh challenge, and if things go well at Sevilla, there is a good chance he will remain there. Juventus were also interested in signing the striker and could renew their interest.

#1 – Dean Henderson

Dean Henderson was touted to take the #1 spot from David De Gea last season, but the Spaniard has fought hard and kept his position in the starting XI. The Englishman was unwilling to stay as the #2 at Old Trafford and wanted to leave in January.

The Red Devils have kept him at the club for the time being, but he too has been linked with a move to Newcastle United.

The Magpies are looking to get Eddie Howe the team he wants as he tries to get the club back in Europe for the first time since the 2012–13 season when they competed in the UEFA Europa League.
