Squad players, or move on?

If he doesn't fancy him, could always loan him out and replace him if he has money left over.

Just think there are more pressing areas that funds will be channelled towards than wingers.

Malacia looked a good player when he 1st joined but he’s really lost his way. He doesn’t look good at either end of the pitch at the moment. I’d give him one more season though.

Donny. I’d let him go. It’s unfortunate that he got injured but he’s been here a while. Hard to see too many takers though especially on a permanent.

Pellistri. As Busby mentioned I’m not sure where this idea that he’s a top prospect comes from. He’s looked decent in cameos but the manager clearly doesn’t fancy him. He’s 21 and a full international and has barely played all season . I wouldn’t be shocked if he goes in the summer.

Amad. I don’t know. Haven’t seen any of him at Sunderland. I wasn’t overly impressed with him in a United shirt but maybe he has improved.

Agreed.

We do have Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho, Antony and possibly Amed though.

"Amad. I don’t know. Haven’t seen any of him at Sunderland. I wasn’t overly impressed with him in a United shirt but maybe he has improved."

He's still only 20. It can't be easily moving to Man Utd out of the blue at 18 years old.

'malacia has lost his way' Really? How many games has the kid played, in a new team, in a far tougher league, under a new manager?

Yes, he started off well, has been awful lately and can barely play a simple pass. He’s started 26 games and played 34 in total.

You’re the one questioning if he should be kept.

I'm a fan of Pellistri, he's fast, takes the defenders on, gets to the by-line and has a good cross at the end of it.

There must be a reason ETH never picks him. He’s played 5 or 6 players at RW over Pellistri. If he was 2 years younger maybe you’d say fair enough but he’s 21 and a full international.

Whenever I’ve seen him I’ve thought he’s looked decent but has nothing outstanding about him.

He’ll probably have a decent career somewhere but I’d be surprised if it’s at Old Trafford.

I don’t think Pellistri has done that much but admittedly he’s hardly been given a chance. I think he is liked because he seems quite direct and likes to huge the touchline which our other wingers don’t do.

EtH clearly prefers our other options but there has been rumours that we are looking into extending his contract. If this is true I have no idea how much say EtH has over this or whether it’s just the suits who see it as a way of making more money from any sale (which we know from previous contract extensions, doesn’t really work well).

That tactic has rarely worked before as you’ve said. You just have players adding to the wage bill while being little use. If someone offers any kind of decent fee we should take it.
