MANCHESTER UNITED may well have put every member of their squad up for sale.
But their woeful season means the club’s signings have dropped more than £400MILLION in market value.
United’s painful defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final put a dour, sour note on the end of a dreadful campaign.
And as the two finalists battle to avoid finishing 17th in the Premier League on Sunday, the Red Devils will not play in Europe next term for the first time since 2014-15.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has already referenced the dire state of United’s financial situation - the club’s share value has plummeted by 60 per cent and admitted they are on the brink of breaching PSR rules.
Failing to qualify for the Champions League will cost the club another £100m.
Now it is understood the entire playing squad are available for transfers in the summer - including captain Bruno Fernandes.
Fernandes said after defeat in Bilbao: “I've always said I will be here until the club says to me that it's time to go.
"In the day that the club thinks that I'm too much or it's time to part ways, football is like this, you never know it. But I've always said it and I keep my word in the same way.
"If the club thinks it's time to part ways because they want to do some cashing in or whatever, it's what it is, and football sometimes is like this."
But United can forget about recouping much of the massive transfer fees they splashed out on the current squad - with a total drop off of £407m in value, according to Transfermarkt’s latest figures.
Academy graduates Kobbie Mainoo (£47m), Marcus Rashford (£42m) and Alejandro Garnacho (£38m) were left out of the figures as they came through the youth system while those out of contract in the summer were excluded, too.
Mainoo is the joint-most valuable member of the team alongside Fernandes and Leny Yoro.
But the whopping disparity between the transfer fees United paid for this crop of players and their current market value makes for bleak reading.
The biggest drop-offs are the £72m for Harry Maguire (£85m to £13m), £68m for Antony (£85m to £17m), £60m for Casemiro (£70m to £10m) and £47m for Jadon Sancho (£73m to £26m) - two of whom were shipped out on loan when deemed surplus to requirements.
Mason Mount is down £36m (£60m to £24m) while Rasmus Hojlund has fallen £34m from £72m to £38m.
Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Andre Onana are all worth £20m less than the amount the Red Devils paid for them.
Even Amad Diallo, the only bright spark in the Europa League final, has lost value from when United paid £37m for him - he is now worth £34m.
Incredibly, just two first-team signings in the United team now have a market value higher than their transfer fee.
They are Diogo Dalot, who is up £11m from £19m to £30m, and Noussair Mazraoui, up £10m from £17m to £27m.

Please dont change anythg. I read MUtd news more than any other clubs except my favourite YNWA. To be honest ManU give me more entertainment than my favourite club. Each time their news gave me lotsa laughter n humour. Whatever shits happen in ManU r in fact gave us the most value of entertainment n laughter.

Sir Rat should consider changing ManU from football club to Night club for more business reasons. Not proud of this downfall.

How can they sell them all? They must break PSR rules to replace the whole team...unless the PSR is biased against Arab owners only! We wait and watch while things unfold...
They were put up for sale. That does not mean they will get purchased or go anywhere. There must be teams interested
