After losing 2-1 in the UEFA Super Cup, it’s clearer than ever that Manchester United still have a long way to go before they reach their former glories. This summer José Mourinho has spent quite a lot on new signings, but it’s the deadwood in the squad that he must now focus on.
There are certain players currently in the United squad that wouldn’t even make the rosters of Watford or West Ham. If United are to return to the pinnacle of English football, they must first clear out the average players in their squad.
Here are 3 players Manchester United need to sell.
1Ashley Young
José Mourinho may see the Englishman as versatile, but being versatile on its own is not enough in modern football. You have to be versatile and then excel in those several positions. There’s not one position Ashley Young excels at, and deep down, José Mourinho knows that. Ashley Young is naturally a winger, but in 120 appearances for Manchester United, he’s only scored 11 goals.
With the likes of Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Henrik Mkhitaryan & Jese Lingard at the club, there’s no room whatsoever for Ashley Young on the flanks. Now at the old age of 32, it’s highly unlikely this Englishman will be learning any new tricks under José Mourinho.
