Manchester United have confirmed that NINE players will leave the club when their contracts expire this summer.

Cameron Borthwick-Jackson is the biggest name amongst the departures revealed on Thursday afternoon.

But all nine, report The Sun, will be able to return to Carrington for pre-season training in order to build their fitness up and help find new clubs.

Joining Borthwick-Jackson out of the door are Aidan Barlow, Alex Fojticek, Ethan Hamilton, Dion McGhee, Demetri Mitchell, Kieran O’Hara, Largie Ramazani and George Tanner.

United said: “We would like to thank the departing players for their contributions during their time at the club and wish them the very best of luck for the future.”

However, the nine players leaving have all been offered a “support package” which includes a return to Carrington for pre-season training.

This will let them maintain their fitness levels and help secure moves to new clubs.

United also revealed every player under 18 years old will remain with them for next season.

The oldest members of the Academy group are also moving up into the Under-23s.

And the top first-year scholars will replace them in the Under-18s.

In total, 202 young players have been retained by United for the 2020/21 season.

Borthwick-Jackson, 23, started his career at United in 2003 and made his first-team debut in November 2015 against West Brom.

He ended up making ten Premier League appearances that term, and was crowned U21 Player of the Year in 2016.

However, Borthwick-Jackson was loaned to Wolves the following season, making just six Championship appearances.
