Ex-Red Devil names five Man United flops who should leave and one ideal signing to kick-start Ten Hag era

 Manchester United would do well to clear out a number of their under-achieving players as they prepare for life under new manager Erik ten Hag next season.

“Wan-Bissaka, he came in and did really well at first but he’s not got that extra dimension to his game or made enough improvement to his game in the final third of the pitch, which is so important in the modern game. You look at Manchester City and Liverpool, their full-backs offer so much going forward and that’s an area that Wan-Bissaka hasn’t improved enough in.

I think Martial’s time has come, he’s gone out on loan and just hasn’t found that consistency. It does look like it’s the right time for him to start again somewhere else.

“Bailly’s never had a solid run of games. Lindelof would be a bit more in the balance, though, I’d imagine. He’s had some good spells, and was obviously selected ahead of Harry Maguire for the Arsenal game, but he’s also not been an automatic starter as much this season.

“The way the team’s playing at the moment, you could add quite a large number of players to that list. At the same time, the new manager has to take a look at the players and make his own mind up once we get to pre-season.

“I think the new manager will come in and assess these players. Obviously there does need to be a change, and a freshness about the squad, and hopefully the finances will be there for him to bring players in.
