Does Lindelof give you the reassurance in the back four that Vidic and Rio gave? If not then why should he hang around. He may have been decent the past few games but he's not someone that can relied upon consistently. Get rid. We've been hoarding these passengers for far too long now.
You can’t have 4 Rios in a team. Partner him with Licha or Shaw and he is more than capable of being a backup to Varane as he has shown over the past few games.

Its a funny old game
Fred. Terrible player, gives the ball away constantly, (As Roy Keane says anyone who thinks Fred is good enough for United is deluded)
Maguire, Not good enough, He thinks he is so much better than He is (Nothing wrong with his ego)
Martial, This lad is going to have some huge regrets when his career is over. He could have applied himself so much better.What a waste!
Sancho, Mentally weak, I felt sorry for him last night as he had to put up with a lot of off the ball shithousing/fouling from dirty Brighton players.
Lindelof, Again, Simply not good enough for United. Not commanding enough, needs to be better in the air.

I'll wait until he can show that consistency week in/week out. He's been here how long and I don't trust him in the back four.

Greenwood - Forget ever existed
This is pretty much my list, but I'd add McTominay to the 'Sell' category, under the assumption that we bring in a couple of new midfielders.

Players I would keep that many others have on their list:
- Fred - I have a soft spot for him, and he can still put in decent performances at times. Keep for squad depth.
- Martial - As a back-up striker or occasional left forward, I would keep for squad for one more season. Hopefully he can stay fit.
- Lindelöf - Decent back-up that has shown he can put in good performances when not partnered with Maguire.
- De Gea - Gets a lot of unnecessary stick in my opinion. Has saved our ass on numerous occasions this season.

These players are not necessarily top shelf Man Utd quality, but based on how much we can realistically change the squad in a single window, and where we would get the most improvement, I wouldn't get rid for now.

Agree with the people you mention and the same you have for Fred i have for some reason for McT.

We need a squad that can compete on, hopefully, many different fronts next year also. McT and Fred are good enough as 2nd or 3rd choice.

Bar Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Bruno, Eriksen, Rashford and Garnacho I wouldn't lose much sleep over members of this squad moving on.

We lack presence, we lack strength, a lot of them are ponderous and slow and there's a severe lack of finesse in the final 3rd of the pitch.

As much as this season has been better than last, the last few weeks has made it pretty clear and obvious that there are still big issues in this squad.

Unrealistic but if Sancho and Antony could leave we would save ourselves the future disappointment but that won't happen

At a minimum:

Henderson
Maguire
Fred/Scott
Bailly
Telles
Williams

I'd add DVB/Martial/DDG/Sancho, but I don't think we'd be able to sell that many and also replace them well.

We’ve collected quite the list of averageness haven’t we. Realistically the likes of Tuanzebe, Williams, Jones, Bailly should have been sold years ago. Butland, Sabitzer, Weghorst we don’t need to worry about.

You’d have thought we should have a market for Maguire, McTominay, VdB, Henderson.

Desperately want them out:
Maguire, Donny, SMT, Weghorst

Wouldn't be arsed if they left:
Elanga, Martial, Sancho, Fred, Sabitzer, Lindelof, AWB.

As for DDG it's best if he leaves, but I have too much respect for him to lump him in with these other players.

Sancho
Martial
Maguire
Jones
Baily
Elanga
McTomminay
VDB
De Gea (leaves with his head held high)

Literally a full side of players if we add Greenwood too.

Martial and Sancho... Seen enough of them leading our line.

VDB has definitely been the most disappointing player considering his European pedigree.

The rest depends on who we can sign but I wouldn't be against parting ways with De Gea, Martial, Sancho ( :( ) & Fred.

There are many players I'd love to see gone. However Rome is not built in one day and considering FFP, the club ownership change etc, we need to be less ambitious in terms of changes

GK: DDG, Henderson, Heaton - I'd say keep them all. Henderson has been injured for most of the season so we won't fetch any real money of him. DDG will probably stay even with a pay cut and Heaton provides an experienced no 3

RB: AWB and Dalot. Neither player is world class but both had improved this year. We can live another season with them around

CB: Varane, Martinez, Lindelof and Ndicka. I think selling Maguire is a must. He's on silly salary, he's become a meme and he's got that one big mistake per game in him

LB: Shaw, Malacia, Alvaro Fernandez.

DM: Casemiro, Rice. Casemiro is, alongside Rashy, the corner stone of this season campaign success. Yet he's 31, he likes his yellow cards and legs are the first to go. Rice has just 1 year left in his contract. He tops the EPL in terms of distance covered and interceptions + he is a natural leader. I think that we should get the man

MC: Tielemans, McT - Tielemans on a free is a no brainer. He's 25, he's a technical deep lying play maker and I can see him pair magnificently with Casemiro or Rice in midfield. I'd keep McT as he's homegrown, he doesn't mind the bench too much and I think he'll do better further up the pitch.

AMC: Bruno, Eriksen

AMR: Antony, Sancho, Pellistri - At that salary I doubt anyone would want to buy Sancho this season and quite frankly we've got bigger problems to settle then that of finding a new club for him. I think this will be the make or break year for Sancho. If he fails then he'll have no excuses

AML: Rashford, Garnacho

STK: Muani, David - some might think that adding two strikers is overkill but its not the case

a- I am uncomfortable with spending some 100m on 1 striker. There aren't any safe bets out there that guarantee goals (ex RVN, Shearer, Batistuta type). The closest there is to that is Kane and spending 100m on a player of his age is crazy. Thus we'll better off distributing the stakes on two players. It's safer and puts less pressure on the players that way

b- I still believe that Greenwood can return and do well. Thus a year on loan, possibly at a friendly club (Ruud's PSV)? would contribute in removing the rust and score those 20-30 goals he need to get the fans warming up to his return.


Let go/Sell: Jones, Maguire, Telles, Fred, Elanga, VDB, Bailly

Out:
Maguire - his time is up (20m)
Sancho - loan move might help him regain his form
Jones - no longer needed (0)
Telles - no longer needed (5m)
Henderson - he needs to play regularly in PL, we can’t give him that (20m)

Budget - 100m
Income from players sales - 45m

In:
CF - 65m
CB - 30m
CM - 50m

I would keep Casemiro, Martinez, Varane, Eriksen, Diallo and Garnacho

I wouldn't miss any of the others should they be moved on.

I always find it funny when people put unrealistic prices next to players we are selling, most of our players are pretty much worthless as guess what, they are shite and on massive wages.

Anthony Martial has to leave at the end of the season. Maguire is a funny one, I'm actully torn on this... who I actually think is a v decent player, but it doesn't seem to be working for him at OT. I think that's a shame, because if he found form, he could rotate with Shaw/Varane/Martinez really, really well.

I could name quite a few. I, personally, do not want Antony at OT, I just see him as a bit of a charlatan... all buzzy energy, but produces what really? But I suppose he needs to develop his game... but he is a substitute at best (and that's a stretch for me..). Sancho can go as well, sorry, but these players have to sort themselves out and start applying themselves.

But Martial, he has to go. Look at that performance last night. Shocking. Just shocking, he doesn't give a monkeys... Sevilla didn't want him, Deschamps got rid of him v quickly. Martial should go to Everton.

Assuming that you are happy with our attacking players to be what we have next season?
I suppose i'm missing the "want" to leave, rather than who i "think" will leave.

Martial's wages are just too high. We could just about send him off on loan with a heavy contribution.
Weigy staying is probably irrelevant either way. Stay as a bit part Option C maybe.

Naturally a big striker is the absolute essential transfer we need as a minimum.

The scary thing is that at least 75% of the players are not it.
Playing staff needs wholesale upgrade- essentially a new first team

He's currently third choice. Even the time of Rio and Vidic the back up CBs were not of their level. Players of that world class level won't even accept to be bench players at a club that can't win the league. I would get rid of Maguire way before Lindelof with a player better than both. He's decent enough to be our 4th choice CB.

Am ok with DDG: firstly I think we could get away with him as 1st choice for another season because of a tight budget. Secondly I think he could be our backup keeper when someone else comes in as 1st choice, assuming he's ok with that.
We need to get Costa before someone else

For me the real measure of progress is not whether we get rid of the likes of Tuanzebe, Williams, Bailly and Jones, it's how ruthlessly we go about casting aside the players who have consistently let us down for the last few seaosns.

Personally, 'depth' is not 'depth' if the players coming in are not at the level required. I'd rather see us have a total clearout, leave only the players who are fit to be in a title-challenging squad and then fill the gaps with youth and loans if needs be.

I am sick of the sight of players like Martial, Fred, van de Beek....they're not good enough, they consistently let us down and they will continue to do so. My list would be...

Maguire - could have been useful but situation is toxic
Fred - abomination of a footballer, shouldn't be allowed to cut the grass at Carrington
McTominay - not good enough, worth money
Martial - lazy, entitled waster
Van de Beek - nothing footballer
De Gea - not good enough, not fit to play the style we require
Elanga - not good enough, worth money
Mejbri - not good enough, worth money
Dalot - not good enough, worth money
Henderson - not good enough/too good to be a #2, worth money
Telles - not good enough

Then add the likes of Jones, Tuanzebe, Bailly, Williams

The above would leave us short...but I dont care personally. I'm sick of it, it would feel cathartic seeing some of these flops and failures booted out on their arses.

If we're looking at players that regularly get minutes, then De Gea, Maguire and Martial are the top 3 that need to move on.
