Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag is reportedly hopeful that selling Harry Maguire, Fred and Anthony Elanga this summer could add as much as £100m to his summer budget.
The Red Devils made their first signing of the current window on Wednesday, spending an initial £55m to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea.
The club have also allegedly submitted a second offer for Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana, and a deal for the Cameroonian would not leave much space in the budget for a new striker unless there are exits.
According to The Guardian, Maguire, Fred and Elanga are available for transfer this summer, and their departures could potentially add as much as £100m to the budget.
The report claims that Maguire could command a £40m fee, while the Red Devils would be looking for £30m each for Fred and Elanga, who are thought to be interesting a number of clubs.

Maguire lost his starting role at Old Trafford last season and has been strongly linked with a move away from Old Trafford during the summer transfer window.
Newcastle United, West Ham United and Paris Saint-Germain are among the clubs to be linked with the 30-year-old, but the Red Devils will allegedly find it difficult to sell him due to his recent salary increase.
Maguire, who remains club captain, only started eight Premier League matches last season, with Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw all ahead of him in the pecking order.
Fred, meanwhile, is also being heavily linked with a move away from the club, with the Brazil international believed to be surplus to requirements ahead of the new season.

Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes are all ahead of him in terms of the starting roles in midfield, while Mount is also expected to operate in that area of the field next term.
Fred - thought to be wanted by Fulham and Roma - only started 12 Premier League matches last season, although he did feature on 56 occasions in all competitions.
Elanga, meanwhile, is also said to be available for transfer, with the 21-year-old struggling for action in the latter stages of the 2022-23 campaign.
The Sweden international started just five times in the Premier League last term, while his last appearance in England's top flight proved to be the 7-0 loss to Liverpool at the start of March.
Man United were back in pre-season training on Thursday, but Maguire, Fred and Elanga were not present at Carrington due to their recent involvement for their countries.
