Ratcliffe’s job highlighted
There are no real surprises in this list, which only serves to highlight the extensive work Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his new backroom team will have to do over the course of the summer.
Indeed, this is a task that is set to take several transfer windows to fix, with all these players liable to be fazed out of the first-team picture at Old Trafford over the next 18 months to two years.
One of the few who still seems in a position to salvage his Man Utd career is Marcus Rashford, though after recent reports that the squad have started to turn against him, he will have to dramatically turn around his recent form and attitude in order to do this.
