believes can raise £100million in additional transfer fees by selling Scott McTominay, , Anthony Martial and Anthony Elanga this summer.

is eager to make major additions to his squad this summer

Reports suggest however the Dutchman will only have £100m to spend in the transfer window with the club’s ongoing ownership saga likely to further complicate plans to strengthen the squad.

In order to bring in the manager’s targets, United may have to raise funds through player sales with former defender Ferdinand believing midfielder McTominay will need to have ‘hard conversations’ with the club over his future.

T while club captain Harry Maguire is also likely to consider his options having started just eight league games this season.

Elanga, who broke into the first-team under Ralf Rangnick last season, is another struggling for chances while Ferdinand believes Martial is another who could be shown the door in the coming months.

‘Scott McTominay hasn’t played much football, not as much as he would like,’ Ferdinand told .

‘If I was him as a young player I would probably start assessing that situation and start having real hard conversations with the club [asking] do you see me as part of it or not.

‘If I’m that far down the pecking order I would start looking and I don’t think he will have a problem finding a club, he is a very good footballer and he can add a lot of value.

‘Harry Maguire has to look at a new option for himself. Unless he says he’s happy to be third or fourth choice. Elanga maybe [is another], he am not getting a chance.

‘Martial has proved that he can’t stay fit. I think if you got rid of those four, there is a £100million sitting there. Elanga isn’t getting the football he deserves.

‘He did well when he came in and still isn’t getting a chance. Big players in front of him but he wants to be playing first team football.’

Dean Henderson is another United player the club could look to offload for a decent fee this summer with Nottingham Forest said to be keen to make his loan move permanent in a £30million deal.
