One of Erik ten Hag’s first jobs as the new Manchester United is to assess which current players he wants to keep and who should move on.
That’s no small task, with the club website listing 40 players in their current first-team squad. While some of those are fringe and youth-team players, it still emphasises how big United’s pool of players is.
Given how disappointing this campaign has been for the Red Devils, there are expected to be plenty of outgoings at Old Trafford, in addition to those who Ten Hag will want to bring into the club.
But who will leave and who will remain at United for the 2022/23 campaign? We’ve cast our eyes over 35 of the squad’s most established players and assessed how likely they are to depart this summer.
33. Jadon Sancho - Very unlikely
One of United’s best performers in the second half of the season and the winger still has plenty of room for development.
34. Anthony Elanga - Very unlikely
Like Sancho, has proven he has plenty of talent and he’ll look to kick on again next season.
35. Tahith Chong - Likely
Enters the final year of his contract in the summer but is expected to move on after failing to hold down a spot in the United squad.
