Coach of Manchester United, Erik ten Hag, has identified four players he intends to sell this summer as part of his squad restructuring according to The Independent.
The players in question are Harry Maguire, Jadon Sancho, Fred, and Scott McTominay. Ten Hag views these players as not fitting into his long-term plans and is keen to offload them within the next two weeks.
During Ten Hag’s first season at the club, these four players struggled to secure regular starting positions.
Although Sancho had the highest number of appearances among them, starting 21 out of his 26 Premier League games, Fred featured in 35 matches, albeit with only 12 starts.
Ten Hag’s decision to sell these players reflects his desire to reshape the squad according to his vision and strategy.
McTominay started 10 of his 24 Premier League matches, while Maguire started eight times, coming off the bench a further eight.
United may have a hard time getting rid of the players, with former captain Maguire in particular on high wages and the club said to be asking for around £50 million ($64.2m) for him.
The defender has also just received a wage rise.
Tottenham are reported to be in for Sancho and United may offer him in an attempt to convince the London club to part ways with Harry Kane.
Meanwhile, Brazilian midfielder Fred could remain in the Premier League with Fulham showing interest and Scotland international McTominay has been linked with a move to Newcastle.
The Red Devils will play their first pre-season friendly against Leeds in Oslo on July 12, a week before they meet Lyon in Edinburgh.
