Manchester United started the season on full throttle as Jose Mourinho looked to lead his side back into prominence in the Premier League as well as the Champions League. However, the Red Devils have since fallen short on both fronts having most recently succumbed to a shocking defeat against Sevilla in the Round of 16 of the Champions League thanks to Wissam Ben Yedder.
Their only chance at silverware this term is the FA Cup, but whether they’ll topple Tottenham and potentially Chelsea is a different matter entirely; hence Jose Mourinho would do well to start considering his squad for next season.
Without further ado, here are 4 players United need to let go in the summer:
3Chris Smalling
Prior to the 2017/18 season, Chris Smalling was a fan favourite at Old Trafford. He’s still loved and adored by some United fans, but the large majority of the club’s supporters would prefer if Mourinho brought in a new centre-back to replace Smalling as he’s clearly lost his mojo.
Smalling has regularly featured in Jose Mourinho’s side this season due in large part to a lack of better alternatives within the squad, but with the summer transfer window on the horizon, the Portugal international could acquire the services of a new centre-back to partner up with Eric Bailly – possibly Raphael Varane.
