Manchester United have a humongous
task to rebuild this summer. They
are, currently, a team that is far
from their arch-rivals. The past
couple of months have showcased
a lack of quality and depth in
the squad, resulting in crushing
defeats to Everton, Liverpool,
Arsenal, and Brighton.
According to Sky Sports, Ralf
Rangnick said after the humiliating
loss at Anfield:
“If you analyze the situation
, it is not difficult to analyze
. For me, it is clear there
will be six, seven, eight,
maybe 10 new players.”
That kind of overhaul is easier
said than done, with speculation
over the kind of budget Manchester
United's new coach, Erik ten Hag
, will be handed during his first
summer window.
The list of players who are certain
to be waving goodbye to the Theater
of Dreams reads - Paul Pogba, Jesse
Lingard, Juan Mata, Edinson
Cavani, Nemanja Matic, and Lee
Grant. Their contracts are
due to expire.
Apart from the ones mentioned
above, we can realistically consider
some others to be on their way out
as well. Aaron Wan-Bissaka,
Anthony Martial, Phil Jones, Eric
Bailly, and Dean Henderson
will be heading out the exit door
as well in search of more
minutes.
