Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof and Tom Heaton have entered the final few months of their Manchester United contracts.

Eriksen signed a three-year deal with United in the summer of 2022 and could leave on a free transfer as Ruben Amorim looks to overhaul his squad at the end of the season.

The Denmark international has made just five starts since Amorim's appointment, although Eriksen did start in United's last two games of the revamped Europa League's league table.

Eriksen was heavily linked with a move away from United in the summer transfer window. His former club Ajax and Belgian side Anderlecht were credited with an interest in his signature, but Eriksen told journalists on last summer's pre-season tour he intended to stay at United.

United also need to make a decision on Evans, who has been absent since picking up a muscle injury in December, and he is another who could leave upon the expiry of his deal.

Evans initially returned to Carrington in July 2023 to maintain his fitness levels after leaving Leicester City, but the 37-year-old was given a 12-month deal and excelled back at United.

The United academy graduate was given another one-year contract last summer and has continued to deliver when he's been called up, albeit he's featured in just 12 matches this term.

Victor Lindelof will be allowed to leave after eight years of service. United planned to sell Lindelof last summer, but he sustained an injury in pre-season and that scuppered a move away.

Lindelof recently returned to full training after picking up an injury in the 4-3 defeat to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup in December, and he will play for a new club next season.

While Tom Heaton is the third choice goalkeeper at United, he's absent from several matchday squads and that has given Hubert Graczyk the opportunity to help the team warm-up.

The experienced Heaton signed a one-year contract extension with United in July to spend another season with his boyhood club, and he will be 38 years old by the end of the campaign.

Heaton has been described as an ultimate professional. His career has spanned across two decades and he is a role model at Carrington, helping young players with advice.

United's goalkeeper department will receive a shake up if Heaton leaves or decides to hang up his gloves and Graczyk will be an option to step into his reserve 'keeper role.
