This article discusses which Manchester United players should be sold during the January transfer window. The author believes that several players, including Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot, and Alejandro Garnacho, are not performing well enough and would benefit from a move elsewhere.
Manchester United have gone from having three untouchable players to zero and they need to make a sale or two if Ruben Amorim is to improve his squad this month. Onana is still capable of some dodgy moments but replacing their No. 1 goalkeeper is the least of Man Utd’s worries right now. Every top club wants a decent back-up goalkeeper but Bayindir is rarely called upon and is wasting his career at Old Trafford.
Dalot has been more shaky than expected as a wing-back in Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 but we rate him pretty highly. Our stance might change over time if Amorim signs Nuno Mendes or someone else to play left-wing-back. Most certainly did not do. He might have been a solid option at right-centre-back. I guess we’ll never know. Mazraoui has been Man Utd’s signing of the season by a long way and he was the cheapest of the lot. Depth at centre-back is important considering Amorim wants three of them on the pitch but Lindelof is injury prone, not good enough and out of contract in the summer. If Man Utd can get a fee for him this month, they will have done very well. There is only one summer signing the Red Devils should consider selling or loaning and De Ligt is not one of them, even if he was Maguire in the middle of a back three is the best version of Maguire. He can be very useful under Amorim. Many in the game believe French teenager Yoro is destined to become one of the best centre-backs in world football. Man Utd were chuffed to beat Real Madrid to his signature but we all know who the player’s first choice was and the Premier League club had to fork out £50m because they knew he would go to Spain for nothing next year if they didn’t. Martinez might be the best finisher at the club because what the f**k was that at Anfield? He could teach Rasmus Hojlund a thing or two. Man Utd are at their wit’s end with Shaw, who can’t seem to string together three consecutive appearances at the age of 29. His injury problems are becoming far too persistent and it’s about time the club cut ties. Shaw could be one of the best defenders in Europe if he wasn’t injury prone, but he is and that is proving to be really quite annoying. It’s clearly time for a reset on the left. Malacia is not good enough to start for Man Utd but is a handy back-up, which should not match his ambitions. Ugarte’s start has been pretty slow but there have been some very promising performances since his summer transfer from PSG. It’s important to remember that he is only 23. This is the biggest no-brainer in the entire squad. Man Utd have been praying for Saudi Arabia to rescue them from Casemiro’s colossal contract and this should finally be the transfer window for them, Mainoo inspired us to revisit this particular idea as there have been reports of Sir Jim Ratcliffe becoming open to offers for every single player. Mainoo, Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho were deemed ‘untouchable’ last March but not anymore. Eriksen is another out of contract at the end of the season and Man Utd would do well to get a fee for him in January, but there is no harm in trying. But to who? Injuries have been the story of Mount’s Man Utd career. He just can’t stay fit, which is an incredible shame, because he is a fantastic player capable of playing anywhere in midfield and off the striker. Finding a place in his team for club captain Fernandes should be as much of a priority for Amorim as new signings. He is the only world-class player in this Man Utd squad and needs to find his groove, just as he did under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Player and club are on the same page and plenty of managers seem interested in being the one to resurrect Rashford’s career. Where will he end up, though? PSG, Milan, Dortmund, Napoli, Barcelona, Juventus and Monaco have all been linked this week and Barca surprisingly seem the most likely destination, though it will only happen if Ronald Araujo is sold to Juve. Amorim is either not a fan of Rashford as a player or a person or has been told he has no future by Sir Jim Ratcliffe or one of his minions. The Man Utd co-owner wants rid of his huge £325,000-a-week salary and you can’t blame him. Rashford’s performances over the last 18 months make him one of the most overpaid people in the world. Rashford staying and getting his career back on track to become a club legend is a lovely thought but it will not develop into anything more than just that. Perhaps the only controversial shout here. It is definitely the most controversial anyway. Garnacho’s form this season has been rubbish and if we are being very critical, he had a decent second half to last season, As a homegrown player, Garnacho can be sold for pure profit, which is gold dust nowadays with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules striking fear into everyone. He came from Atletico Madrid, who reportedly want him back, and if they come in with a tempting offer, we think the Red Devils should take it
