Manchester United could reportedly be open to selling over half of their current squad, according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.

The Red Devils are enduring an awful season, with new manager Ruben Amorim facing a hugely challenging job after recently being brought in to replace Erik ten Hag.

Although Amorim is highly regarded from his time at Sporting Lisbon, he’s just suffered back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, with the Portuguese tactician clearly working with a pretty weak squad.

See below as Plettenberg now claims that there are not that many Man Utd players who aren’t up for sale, naming six, while there might also be two or three more on top of that…

The players United want to keep are: Kobbie Mainoo, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, Amad Diallo and Andre Onana, according to Plettenberg.

It remains to be seen who the other two or three are, but it seems that big names like Marcus Rashford could be on the way out of Old Trafford.

The Telegraph have reported on Rashford’s United future being in serious doubt, and at this point most MUFC fans would probably favour a comprehensive clear-out.

Who else should Manchester United get rid of?

Players like Antony, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Casemiro would make sense as being up for sale at United, while one imagines the only others who can be really sure about their future are Bruno Fernandes and perhaps Alejandro Garnacho.

Manuel Ugarte has also only just joined the club, so will presumably be given a bit more time, even if he’s not had the most convincing start.

That seems less likely to be the case for Joshua Zirkzee, however, who has been really poor since joining from Bologna in the summer.

    1. Oh come on don’t be sentimental or biased about this.
      Andre Onana is literally the best player in Man-United this season, he’s clearly amongst the top 5 best Keepers in the premier league too. Onana is literally the most reliable and consistent player in Man-United. Loosing him will be devastating!

  1. Onana, luke shaw, Dalot, Lord Maguire, Evans, Casemiro, Erikssen, Dalot, Rashford, Fraudster Anthony should be the names on that list. Thats enough money to fund new players.

    1. Garnacho,lordMaguire,Antony,casemiro,rashford,Evans,zikzee,ericksen,show,malacia,lindelof,dalot, should leave I even think garnacho choose the wrong carrier he should be an athlete he doesn’t know how to feed a forward (striker) we also need an experienced striker not one who is still learning someone to feed him

    2. And which football club is going for the signatures of these shambolic man united players? Maybe championship clubs will come for them

  2. United cannot eat their cake and have it. They want to win trophies and at the same time want low budget (cut cost) players like Mainoo, Garnacho, Rashford who are academy brought up. Expend money on experienced and strong players and get result. It’s evident in Mazroui, De ligt, Daloo, and Casemiro. Get good players like that.

    1. nevilles, scholes, giggs, beckham, were academy players. isn’t tht the point of a club? produce great players? so people would want to go to their academy?

    2. But casemiro is a flop we also need to sell rashford and garnacho the can’t feed a striker they are selfish when garnacho has the ball on his feet he just starts to run we need someone creative

    1. You’re sad if you think delot is any good, the man is brutal 7 out of 10 games, casemire not much better, ganacho and rashford can leave also

  3. While I except onana hasn’t been great these last few games but without his brilliant saves united would be In the relegation zone.

  4. Oundohjohn is a gay, he sück baalls, he bend to let one of his hole to be filled repeatedly, ending with white liquid.

  5. Yes. They have to sell half the side
    These players worry more about their salary than giving 100 percent for United.
    GET RID OF THEM

  6. Rashford should be top of the out list absolutely overrated
    Shaw top wages for a sick note
    To name more would be of no surprise maguire, Casimero Anthony Evans e.t.c

    Happy Christmas Almiron

  7. Yes Ooooooooo Brothers All You Are Saying Is 💯 Sure,Man United Have To Get Rid Of Some Of The Players This Season If Not This Season Will Be The West Season Ever For We
