The defeat, sealed by Brennan Johnson's solitary goal, not only handed Spurs their first trophy in 17 years but also dashed United's hopes of Champions League qualification, costing them potential revenue exceeding 100 million pounds.

The Red Devils endured a torrid Premier League season, losing 18 of their 37 matches, leaving them languishing in 16th place. Head coach Ruben Amorim, despite the setback, retains the backing of United's hierarchy for a long-term rebuild, according to sources close to the club.

However, Amorim has hinted at his willingness to step aside if the club deems it necessary, stating, "If the board and fans say I'm not the right guy, I will go the next day".

Central to the rebuild are plans to offload high-profile players, with captain Bruno Fernandes emerging as a potential departure. Despite his 19 goals and 19 assists this season, Fernandes has acknowledged the possibility of a move, saying, "I've always said I will be here until the club says it's time to go. If they want to cash in, it's what it is". Saudi club Al-Hilal have shown strong interest in the Portuguese midfielder, eyeing a marquee signing ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.

However, a report from GIVEMESPORT suggests that four starters from the Europa League final, Casemiro, Andre Onana, Luke Shaw, and Rasmus Hojlund, are more likely to leave than Fernandes.

These players, earning a combined 935,000 pounds per week, represent a significant portion of United's wage bill. Offloading them could free up funds for new signings, a priority for Amorim as he seeks to reshape the squad.

Hojlund, signed for 72 million pounds in 2023, has struggled to impress Amorim, who was reportedly "surprised" by the Danish striker's lack of impact. Italian clubs Inter Milan, Juventus, and Napoli have expressed interest in reviving Hojlund's career in Serie A, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Meanwhile, Casemiro, despite shining en route to the final, faltered against Spurs, putting his future in doubt. Saudi clubs are circling both him and Onana, whose errors in goal, including a critical mistake for Johnson's winner, have drawn heavy criticism.

Luke Shaw's injury-plagued season, limited to just 12 appearances, has also raised questions about his place in Amorim's plans. The defensive duo of Shaw and Onana were pinpointed for their roles in Tottenham's goal, adding to the scrutiny surrounding their performances.

Beyond these four, United are reportedly open to selling Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Antony, all currently on loan, with the club aiming to raise 90 million pounds from their departures. Rashford, in particular, has been linked with Barcelona, with negotiations ongoing for a potential loan-to-buy deal, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Alejandro Garnacho, another potential exit, has attracted interest from Chelsea and Napoli after expressing frustration at being benched for the final. "I played every round until the final, then 20 minutes… I don't know," Garnacho told Argentinian media, hinting at uncertainty over his future. The Telegraph reports that United would consider offers around 60 million pounds for the 20-year-old winger.

Recent posts on X indicate that Amorim has targeted Wolves' Matheus Cunha and Ipswich's Liam Delap to bolster the attack, with Cunha's 62.5 million pound release clause close to being triggered. However, these moves hinge on raising funds through player sales, with United aiming for "double figures" in outgoings.

Amorim's vision for a revitalized United is clear, but the scale of this potential clearout underscores the challenges ahead. As the Red Devils prepare for a crucial summer, the focus is on decisive action to restore their status among football's elite.
