Darren Bent, a former England striker has advised Manchester United to sell six key players in the summer transfer window: Harry Maguire, Fred, Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ronaldo, Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba.
Bent also added that David de Gea, Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho, and Marcus Rashford should remain at Old Trafford into the next season.
This comes after Manchester United was knocked out of the Champions League by Atletico Madrid earlier this week.
Darren Bent said on talkSPORT’s Drivetime: “The ones you keep are [David] de Gea, you keep Varane. You need a new right-back, I think. (Harry) Maguire? Nope.
“I don’t think [Scott McTominay] is good enough, but he’s your own. Building-wise? Nope.
“I think Fred is a weird one because you have to say he’s been one in the last few weeks who has gone, ‘You know what? I’m up for this’. But I guess if you are trying to start against and build a successful side, he might have to go.
“You keep Sancho. Ronaldo has got to go. [Edinson] Cavani has got to go. [Martial] has got to go.
“Rashford is the one where, if the new manager fancies him, there is something there. If he can get that best out of him, then you keep him because he is young.
“[Pogba] is going to go anyway, he is on a free at the end of the season. If Manchester United has any kind of aspirations [he should go].
“I love Pogba as a player, I really do, but Manchester United fans are becoming sick of saying, ‘we are waiting for that consistency’, so he would have to go.”
