Revealed: The eight players Paul Scholes wants Man United to sell
Revealed: The eight players Paul Scholes wants Man United to sell Manchester United are preparing for a mass exodus this summer, but club legend Paul Scholes has included some surprising names in the list of players he believes they should offload. The Red Devils are looking ahead to an eventful summer during which they are expected to invest heavily in the squad. A new midfielder is a priority to offset Casemiro’s impending departure.
Several Premier League candidates are being considered at the moment to replace the Brazilian in a move that could cost a massive transfer fee. There are also plans to upgrade the frontline and sign a new full-back. Recent reports have suggested that United are aiming to raise around £100 million from offloading deadwood.
Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkzee are likely to leave, while the Red Devils are also expected to permanently offload Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund and Jadon Sancho. However, Scholes believes that some first team regulars should also follow them out the door. Scholes wants United to offload Maguire Speaking on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast, Scholes named Harry Maguire among the defenders United should offload this summer.
He said: “Look, I think he’s been really good and he’s brought himself back from the dead really. ” “I think he’s been sensational with what he’s done, I’m so so pleased for him, but I’m thinking about a Manchester United team you want to win the league and the Champions League and that’s where United should be aiming. I’m not sure you’d do that with Maguire, unless you’ve got someone like a Rio [Ferdinand] next to him then possibly, yeah.
” “It’s Manchester United, you’ve got to be talking about winning the Premier League. If it’s one of four, you’d probably take him but I’d have De Ligt in that as one of four. I think they’re both quite similar but De Ligt is a little bit younger so that’s on his side, he’s a little bit quicker, so I’d probably just go for De Ligt.
