I think your list is a lot more realistic than the BBC one.

Other clubs will know we are desperate and our wages are too high.

If we could get anything like 75% of our money back on any of Ten Hag's signings I'd sell.

30 million for AwB is probably a bit unrealistic. Same with Maguire although he has had a pretty good season after two nightmare years. I'd add another few million on McTominay as a team like West Ham or Everton could probably get a decent goal return from him.

The wage bill is interesting as you'd think it's almost certain that Varane, Martial, Casemiro and Eriksen are leaving.

That article is a bit bizarre. We'd sell Mainoo for less than Antony, Dalot and.. McTominay??

I think that's a fair assessment of what we should demand from out players, although I think a couple of them might be a bit underpriced. I would add another 10 on Høylund and Rashford, and 30 for Shaw feels a bit cheap as well. Ok, he is injury prone and that surely reduces his value, but still. At least, I wouldn't sell him for 30m. And if Sancho in the rest of the season shows anything close to what he did last night, I think his stocks will be worth more than 30. Maybe the double, even.

Regards Mainoo, I just dont think we can sell at all. Youve seen what 100m plus got chelsea in midfield, caceido and fernandez. no guarantee whatsoever, whereas at the moment he looks like he could develop into a decade + worth of midfielder to build around. a no go for me. similar reasoning for garnacho, we forget how young he is. to me he's already better than some highly priced wingers such as leao

There's a few like Kobbie, Garnacho etc who i'd say are priceless, the vast majority I wouldn't let go for less than 50p and a bag of Revels. And I REALLY like Revels.

In fact speaking of which I remember hearing our performances recently described as a bag of Revels since "you don't what you'll get". I'd argue that our performances this season have been more akin to those Harry Potter Every Flavour Beans, except where all the best flavours have been eaten and you're left with earthworm, dirt, bogies and arse flavours.

On a more serious note, it's depressing looking at how undervalued our players are given how much we massively overpaid for them.

I'm not sure about the rest of the squad but I'll start with Martial for a packet of Walkers Cheese and Onion crisps.

First Team
Onana - not for sale but would accept £60m+
Bayindir £10m
Dalot - not for sale but would accept £50m+
AWB - for sale £25m plus 10m add-ons
Varane - release
Martinez - not for sale
Maguire - for sale at £25m plus 5m add-ons
Lindelöf - not for sale but would take £20m+
Evans - 1 year deal, do coaching badges
Kwambala - not for sale, may loan
Shaw - not for sale but would accept 45m+
Malacia - for sale at 15m plus 5-7m add-ons
Casemiro - for sale - Saudi £30m, or 20+5m
McTominay - for sale £35+5m
Eriksen - for sale £5m+5m
Mainoo - Not for sale
Fernandes - Not for sale but would accept £80m+
Mount - Not for sale but would accept £70m+
Garnacho - Not for sale but would accept 100m
Antony - Not for sale but would accept £45+10m
Rashford - Not for sale but would accept £75+10m
Amad - For sale at £20m+10m
Højlund - Not for sale
Martial - release

Loaned out:
Sancho - For sale at £40m+15m
Greenwood - For sale £25m+15m
Hannibal - For sale £12m+5m
Pellistri - for sale £12m+5m
Carreras £5m+5m
Van de Beek - release
Williams - for sale £2m+3m

On most deals I would include substantial add-ons, as illustrated. And in some I would include buy back clauses. Like Hannibal, Amad, maybe Greenwood.

Some players aren’t worth selling because of the FFP position, like Mount, Onana etc., unless it is for a really big fee. I also think, despite their troubles, it’s worth giving them another season.

Bruno and Martinez are two of avoid selling in general because they are virtually our only two players who actually have grit, determination, and that fire in their belly. But someone like Bruno, at 29/30, if Saudi came in with an 85-90m pound bid, it’d probably be wise to take it. Otherwise, he should stay.

Shaw is a tough one. He’s not fit enough, but he’d cost a fortune to replace with a good enough player. So id keep him but find a good player who can rotate with him.

Lindelof I’d keep because we’d move on Varane, and Maguire. And need two CBs already. He’s on relatively low wages and is fine as a fourth choice cb. Evan’s I’d keep too, because he’d count towards homegrown quota and would cost peanuts. Good emergency stop gap.

Mainoo, Bruno, and Mount would all stay, but we’d need two CMs. With Eriksen, Casemiro and McTominay moving on. Hopefully a Neves plus a young DM.

I’d likely keep Rashford, Garnacho, Højlund and Antony, and add a good competition for CF (Osimhen, Sesko etc), plus a starting quality RW like Olise. Sancho, Greenwood, and Amad out the door. I’d keep Amad if we got a decent offer for Antony like 45m plus 10-15m in add-ons

I’d want the next manager to get a lot more out of the players we have, rather than just replacing them all.

That said, only Mainoo, Garnacho, Martinez, Bruno, and Højlund are players I would sell VERY reluctantly or not at all. The rest all have their price and could be moved on and replaced. It’s all just about who has the best market for their services. Very few are what I would consider “safe”.

First Team
Onana £40m - I think we paid slightly above market rate for an ok keeper
Bayindir £5m - I have absolutely no idea how good he is because Ten Hag only gave him one start (I think)
Dalot £60m - need to be a ridiculous offer for me to consider selling
AWB £10m - one year left on his contract
Varane (Free)
Martinez £35m - his lack of height and average speed is an issue for me, despite his outstanding quality on the ball
Maguire £15m - lack of pace has always been a huge weakness. I'd rather defend high up the pitch so I'd take whatever was offered despite his impressive performances this season.
Lindelöf £10m - not bothered whether we keep or sell. May depend on what he wants to do.
Evans (Free)
Kwambala £20m - don't like selling young players on the cheap
Shaw £30m
Malacia £10m - seemed like a decent back-up last season but a whole season out injured is worrying.
Casemiro £20m - I'd accept less.
McTominay £55m - keep unless receive ridiculous offer
Eriksen £0 - in reality his wages will be an issue so I'd let him go for nothing
Mainoo £100m - in reality not for sale
Fernandes £70m
Mount £40m - prefer the cash unless we find a starting role for him that he can perform at a decent level (not no 8)
Garnacho £100m - in reality not for sale
Antony £10m - finding it hard to stomach the idea that he might get a 3rd season at United. Get rid.
Rashford £50m - on one level I think he wants to be a United player but at the same time part of him isn't sufficiently motivated to make an effort
Amad £20m - reluctant to sell without giving him a reasonable chance
Højlund £80m - despite underwhelming first season, I think he should be ok eventually so would be reluctant to sell
Martial (Free)

Loaned out:
Sancho £20m - disgraceful attitude. Get rid
Greenwood £15m - hope for more but have to sell this summer even if price is very low. If only offer is £1, I'd take that.
Hannibal £15m - would like to keep if he agrees new contract. If not, then I suppose have to sell for a relatively low fee (less than £15m, perhaps £8m to £10m).
Pellistri £20m - still think he is worth persisting with.
Carreras £5m
Van de Beek £0
Williams (Free) - out of contract I think
