Of those guys, who would be missed?
Cavani, Ronaldo and Pogba maybe. But none of them would be classed as guys you want to rely on moving forward for one reason or another.

Don't think it has to hinder you provided the right replacements are brought in... Which they won't be

United have completely destroyed vdb

we can quite easily 'lose' most of those players for a market price and then replace them or spend the money we pay their wages with on better players

Of those, I only expect Cavani, Martial, Pogba and Lingard to go.

You could make an argument for shipping all of them out but it won't happen. Which means we'll have a much longer rebuild on our hands.

It's an issue that I've raised in the past. We don't ship deadwood out quickly enough and end up in perpetual transition. Teams tend to make one or two changes to freshen things up from a position of strength. We do it from a position of weakness when ruthlessness is what's needed.

Martial and Pogba about 300m down the drain if you include wages. Spent half their United careers on the bench and done next to nothing the rest of the time too.

Controversial, but I'd keep Jones

One has helped us win 2 trophies and the other has helped us win 3. Both scored crucial goals in those tournaments to help us win that silverware.

Like it or not they have contributed way more than some of the current favourites. They were just unfortunate to play in average teams.

Not many in that list have played significant roles this season.

Cavani, Ronaldo, Matic and Pogba are the only ones who have and 3 of those were realistically short term solutions anyway.

Shame Woodwards left and can’t give these lads some contract extensions.

We will change direction this summer and sign talented young players I reckon and try and be a real force in 2-3 years time.

Wage bill should drop drastically.

I'm expecting two in, one big money, one squad that Ralf likes.
Three out. Martial, Lingard and A. N. Other

Of that list, i'll be most gutted about Cavani leaving. I know it doesn't make much sense keeping an ageing player, but i just love the guy

His pure joy here

well, they look like 'a team' there, that is for sure.

Could have been an important week this one for United when we look back on it later on.

The comeback starts here?

Utd are the only "big club" that I know let players they do not value hang around like a bad smell

I like quite a few of the players on a personal level but on a business level it does not make any sense that they are still at the club

Matic, Pogba, Lingard, Mata and Cavani will probably go on frees. Probably miss Pogba and Cavani.

Henderson, Bailly, Donny, Martial might go if the fees are right. We might miss Martial.

A CB, DM, CM and CF isn’t beyond us in 1 Summer if we need to do that business.
