The only reason some those players are still at the club, is because the club puts them on stupid contracts that nobody else will ever match so the players will never leave until they have no other option but to leave on a free.Lindelof's a back-up, Dalot's just had arguable his best season, Shaw last season arguably likewise. Without Rashford's goals last season would Ten Hag have even won a trophy or came 3rd? McTom is another Ten Hag favourite this season.
If the problem is systemic and is present over years regardless of the players, then what will removing certain players achieve in and of itself?
We've already culled the squad form the Solskjaer era, it didn't really help.
That bolded is not really true. If you take out youth players that were at the club already that ETH has promoted, 5 out of the other 8 starters yesterday have been at the club since before he arrived. Only 7 of the players available yesterday were actually signed by ETH, the rest were youth players or signed before he arrived.
Genuinely think people are kidding themselves if they think much of this squad is of any use going forward, aside from the young players, Martinez, Onana, Mount, Hojlund and maybe Rashford. The rest lf the squad has no use beyond another year.
