Man Utd are selling their academy prospects more regularly than ever before and Erik ten Hag is making it clear what he expects from the club's youngsters.
With a week to go of the summer transfer window, it's worth considering how many more young players will head for the exit at Old Trafford for the final time.
It's fair to wonder just how successful that pipeline has been recently. Rashford is the star pupil, but others have struggled to make the grade. Garnacho looks a player of immense promise, but he was 16 when United signed him from Atletico Madrid. Mason Greenwood was on track to become a star, but is now set to depart before next Friday, his United dream in tatters.Greenwood is one academy departure that Ten Hag didn't want to see happen, but elsewhere he has been ruthless.
Two 20-year-olds will have their futures assessed over the next seven days and both have not long ago been touted as having what it takes to succeed at United. Hannibal Mejbri was signed for a fee rising to €10million as a 16-year-old, but despite some promising pre-season performances, he could still be sold, with Borussia Dortmund interested.
