Manchester United's failure to secure a top four place in the Premier League could result in a major rebuild of the squad this summer. Both Ander Herrera and Antonio Valencia have confirmed they will be leaving the club at the end of the season, while lingering doubts remain over the future of players like Alexis Sanchez and Paul Pogba so Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be in for a busy summer transfer window. Solskjaer is likely to be given significant backing by Ed Woodward this summer, with the club hoping to close the gap to both Man City and Liverpool. As always, United have been linked with a host of high-profile arrivals and departures already, with the transfer window opening today. So, who will Manchester United buy? And who will they sell? Here are some of the players Manchester United could buy ahead of the 2019/20 season.

Manchester United and Manchester City’s most valuable players revealed
Manchester United and Manchester City have some of the most talented football stars in the world playing for them but it’s not the ones you would necessarily expect who have the biggest value. That’s according to CIES Football Observatory , who have issued their Weekly Post on the highest estimated transfer values among the top five European leagues. Serie A’s most expensive talent is Juventus’ Paulo Dybala at €142m (£121m) euros, Ligue 1 has Kylian Mbappe at €228m (£194m), Lionel Messi heads up the La Liga still valued at €171m (£146m) despite being 31. Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho is the Bundesliga’s most prized asset at €148m (£126m), while Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane leads the way at €198m (£169m). These are all to be expected somewhat but Manchester United’s most financially valuable player is not their costliest signing in history.

Comparing the Premier League run ins between Man City and Liverpool
Man City and Liverpool remain neck-and-neck at the top of the Premier League table with just a single point separating the two sides, so the end of the season is set up to be as dramatic and nail-biting as ever. There are eight games remaining in the league, with plenty of big encounters still to come for both sides, and with both clubs advancing to the Champions League quarter finals and City's involvement in the FA Cup there are going to be a lot of massive games in a short amount of time.

We analyse the eight remaining game weeks of the season: Saturday March 16: Swansea vs Man City (FA Cup).

What Man Utd and Man City can expect in Champions League quarter finals
With Manchester United and Manchester City both in the Champions League quarter-final draw on Friday, excitement is building. Not only can United and City draw each other, but fellow Premier League sides Liverpool and Tottenham are also in the pot. The chance of at least one all-English quarter-final is high, and if one of United or City are involved it will have huge implications on the Premier League run-ins as City are chasing the title and United want a top four place. Both sides will look at Porto and Ajax as supposed favourable draws, but those sides beat Roma and Real Madrid in the last-16 who reached the semi-finals and final last season respectively. Also in the draw are Juventus, who beat Atletico Madrid thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo inspired comeback this week, and Barcelona - who will surely fancy their chances of winning the trophy held by Real Madrid for the past three years. We've taken a statistical look at what the other six teams have to offer ahead of Friday's … [Read more...] about What Man Utd and Man City can expect in Champions League quarter finals
