Man Utd keep or sell as Red Devils put EVERY player up for sale in unprecedented move

Manchester United are at rock bottom following their miserable defeat by For the pessimists there is more misery on the horizon, but for the optimists it means the only way is up.

A lot will depend on what happens this summer, with an absolutely crucial transfer window on the horizon. know they need to make wholesale changes – and that’s why has taken the unprecedented step of .

Nobody is above the axe of Ratcliffe, who has already made hundreds of United staff redundant and has made it very clear that he’s not motivated by winning popularity contests. The sign has been put into the front lawn: United are clearing out their garage and everyone has a price. Let the bidding commence.

To mark the occasion, Mirror Football is wielding the imaginary axe, swinging it with impunity at the entirety of dreadful squad, who sit a lowly 16th in the ahead of their final match on Sunday. Here’s what we’d do, given the chance.

Andre Onana

United paid Inter Milan £43million for Onana. He’s coming up to two years as United’s number one and it’s clear that it just hasn’t worked out. His fated ability to play out from the back hasn’t had any tangible benefit and, instead, we’ve been treated to the occasional howler. Yet he is still one of the players who has some sell-on value, so make the most of it. SELL.

Altay Bayindir

Hard to judge the Turkish keeper, who has only played 10 times for United in two seasons. When he has played, like in the 4-1 defeat by Newcastle in April, he didn’t cover himself in glory, making a dreadful error. But, to be brutally honest, United have bigger fish to fry than their second-choice goalkeeper. KEEP.

Tom Heaton

Look up ‘good man to have around the dressing room’ in the football cliche dictionary and it is likely that Heaton will be cited. But at 39 years old, and with his contract about to expire, the time has come to hang up your boots, Tom. RELEASE.

Victor Lindelof

The Swede has been at United since 2017 and if we’re being brutally honest – which we are – he has never really been good enough to be a mainstay at such a club. With his contract up on June 30, his final act as a United player will be getting a yellow card for shouting at the fourth official in Bilbao. RELEASE.

Noussair Mazraoui

One of the summer arrivals in Erik ten Hag’s ill-fated final transfer window. A solid if unspectacular defender, who does have the benefit of being able to play in a few positions. Does he have the legs to play as a wingback in Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 formation? I’m not convinced, but we can’t flog everyone. KEEP.

Matthijs de Ligt

Has had an injury-hit debut campaign with United and looks a long way off the much-hyped Ajax youngster of his heyday. He cost United £42.9m from Bayern Munich in the summer and is a classic example of their poor recruitment. SELL.

Harry Maguire

I love Maguire. But watching him flail around in the Spurs penalty area, desperately trying to affect the game, while fighting with Cristian Romero, looked a lot like the death knell of a football team. Amorim essentially put the big lad up top and hoped. It is time to move on from Maguire. SELL.

Lisandro Martinez

It feels like a long, long time since we were debating whether a 5ft 9in centre-back could hack it in the Greatest League In the World™. The diminutive defender has been out injured for some time, which has the effect of increasing his stock during miserable times like these. KEEP.

Tyrell Malacia

Coming to a quiz near you as a pointless answer in about 10 years. SELL.

Patrick Dorgu

Signed in January, Dorgu has at times looked like the sort of left wing-back Amorim requires. He has the athleticism to get up and down the wing, a solid left foot and appears to have a pretty high ceiling. KEEP.

Leny Yoro

United beat Real Madrid to the signing of Yoro, but have been dismayed to see him injured for much of this season. Still only 19 years old, the Frenchman needs to stay injury-free and have some stability around him. KEEP.

Luke Shaw

Injuries have taken their toll on Shaw, who is United’s longest-serving current player having joined the club way back in 2014. It is crazy that he still has two years left on his deal. Ratcliffe is not afraid of taking tough decisions and getting rid of the England defender is one that needs doing. SELL.

Diogo Dalot

Has been one of the strong performers over the past few seasons and appears to be a good fit for Amorim’s tactical system. Dalot also seems like a leader in the dressing room – and considering I’m getting rid of a lot of them – he is worth keeping. KEEP.

Ayden Heaven

One of few bright lights in a dark, dark season. Heaven was pinched from Arsenal and showed plenty of promise when he played. KEEP.

Jonny Evans

A veteran player who has been a model professional for United. But he’s 37 years old and out of contract next month. RELEASE.

Harry Amass

The young defender has broken into the first team this season and is one of a few players who is flying the flag for the famous United academy. KEEP.

Tyler Fredricson

Pre-season will be indicative for Fredricson, who like Amass has got a taste of first-team football. Amorim will know whether he has a shot, but a loan spell might be more appropriate. KEEP.

Mason Mount

Judged by numbers only, Mount has been a dreadful buy for £55m. He has four goals and one assist in 45 appearances for United. But, now he’s fit again, he needs to kick on and prove himself as a No.10 in Amorim’s shape. There is absolutely no chance United can sell him, so they better hope he turns up next season. KEEP.

Bruno Fernandes

Right then. United’s best player and captain. The source of 19 goals and 19 assists this season. But also a player who has . I would take the gamble and sell up. United need to change their culture and – rightly or wrongly – Fernandes has become the embodiment of their malaise. He will fetch a good price and, considering he turns 31 in September, it could prove smart business in hindsight. The only problem is replacing him without the allure of European football… SELL.

Christian Eriksen

A very very simple decision. Hasn’t been good enough for about two years. A player well past his peak. Thankfully, his contract is up. RELEASE.

Casemiro

The man referenced by Ratcliffe as embodying the wasteful recruitment model of the United of old. The former Real Madrid man is past his best and the image of him running through quicksand, trying to catch up to Spurs players on the break, will stick with me. Off he goes to Saudi Arabia. SELL.

Manuel Ugarte

United went through an awful lot of faff to sign Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer and didn’t get much for their £50m. However, the Uruguay international cannot be written off yet. He has the right profile to replace Casemiro and should be given the chance to step up. KEEP.

Kobbie Mainoo

Like everyone else in the squad, Mainoo is up for sale, but really he shouldn’t be. He is a talented young Mancunian who represents a link to the club’s fans. He is a supremely gifted youngster with the ability to develop into a great box-to-box midfielder. He just needs to be managed well and not burdened. KEEP.

Toby Collyer

I’m not sure that Collyer has the ability to make a mark on United next season. SELL.

Daniel Gore

The fact he was loaned out to Rotherham in January says a lot. SELL.

Rasmus Hojlund

I feel sorry for Hojlund. He clearly isn’t a £72m player. He should not be burdened with the goalscoring demands that come with being United’s first-choice No.9. The Dane is too inexperienced for the role he’s inherited. He should either be an understudy to an experienced striker, or sold to sign such a player. United could flog him back to where he came from. If that doesn’t happen then he can take up the role he should’ve had in the first place. KEEP.

Marcus Rashford

There is no going back from December when Amorim froze him out. He wants a new challenge and should be given it, with his spell on loan at Aston Villa doing his sale value no harm. SELL.

Joshua Zirkzee

United’s interest in Matheus Cunha is not good news for Zirkee, who is at his best dropping off the back line into space. The difference is Cunha is more talented and has scored a lot more goals this season for Wolves. Zirkzee may still have admirers abroad. United should call them up. SELL.

Amad

One of few success stories from a terrible spell of recruitment. The young winger is a joy to watch and, if he hadn’t been injured this season, could have led United to a few more wins (just remember how good that last-minute Manchester Derby winner was). KEEP.

Alejandro Garnacho

Garnacho strongly hinted at a summer departure in the wake of the defeat by Spurs. He has been linked with Chelsea and Napoli and, to be frank, United should cash in because his end product is severely lacking. He has six goals and two assists in 36 Premier League appearances. Get rid. SELL.

Antony

The Brazilian has turned into a different player since joining Real Betis on loan, but it would be foolish to think he would simply bring that form to Old Trafford if United recalled him. It would be much wiser to cut your losses on the £82m Ten Hag flop. SELL.

Chido Obi

Wayne Rooney said he felt sorry for Obi when watching him play against Brentford recently, with United showing no idea of how to utilise the youngster. The hope is that, with better team-mates, he can come good. KEEP.

Jadon Sancho

Another tale of waste at United. Sancho cost £73m from Borussia Dortmund but never got close to repaying that fee. He hasn’t done an awful lot on loan at Chelsea, but luckily they have an obligation to buy the winger. SELL.
