Manchester United are gearing up for what should be a pretty proactive summer transfer window after they ended the 2023/24 season by winning the FA Cup title. However, they have recently suffered a bit of a blow when it comes to the future of young winger Omari Forson.
Manchester United Poised to Lose Omari Forson
Forson Decides on ‘New Chapter’ in his Career
Fabrizio Romano has reported that the 19-year-old winger has decided to leave the Red Devils once his contract expires at the end of June. He is now “set for [a] new chapter” in his career after having made his first-team debut for the club in February, becoming the 249th youth academy graduate to play for the senior team.

The journalist further adds that there are several clubs who are already keen on signing Forson on a free transfer once he leaves Old Trafford. It’s further claimed that he is attracting interest from a lot of parties as he’s now set to decide where to spend next few years of his career, where the Englishman will aspire to develop his skills properly. Meanwhile, the Manchester Evening News reports that United made multiple contract offers to Forson but that all their suggestions were rejected by his representatives.
Other Players Poised to Leave United
The Red Devils already confirmed that Raphael Varane will depart the club once his contract expires at the end of June. This comes after he failed to negotiate a contract extension and he will become a free agent in July alongside Anthony Martial, who has also confirmed his imminent departure from the club.

Manchester United are also said to be looking to sell Casemiro in the summer. Mason Greenwood, who returns after a loan spell at Getafe, is also reportedly likely to be sold for a profit in the summer window. However it does seem that The Red Devils will have to plan for a squad without the talents of Forson. The young star was praised for being “reliable” by Erik ten Hag last season, but made only seven appearances for the senior team and provided one assist.
