One of the main problems with the squad is a huge amount of average or worse players. It may be Ok for a club which plans to fight relegation, but for Man Utd hoarding such players shall not be the way to go. Let's look at the squad by position.
GK:
1) de Gea (World Class)
2) Romero (Good)
3) Joel Pereira (absolute shite)
4) Henderson (average, good potential, but not at all needed in a team with de Gea on a 6 year deal)
5) Lee Grant (absolute shite)
What to do: sell Joel Pereira, try to extend Henderson in order to preserve his market value
RB:
1) AWB (very good, with potential to be WC)
2) Dalot (average, with more potential to excel as a winger)
3) Young (below average as back up, shall be the last season for him)
4) Darmian (absolute shite)
What to do: sell Darmian
LB:
1) Shaw (good, with potential to be very good)
2) Young
3) Dalot
What to do: nothing
CB:
1) Lindelof (good, with potential to be very good at least)
2) Smalling (average)
3) Jones (below average)
4) Bailly (below average)
5) Marcos Rojo (absolute shite)
6) Tuanzebe (real quality yet unknown)
3) Fosu Mensah (long term injury, below average ability with limited upside)
What to do: buy a very good defender (Maguire?), sell any two of three worst players (Jones, Bailly, Rojo) for any fee or alternatively sell Smalling for a relatively large fee and also sell one of the above mentioned trio.
CDM:
1) Matic (below average, declining with time)
2) McTominay (average, with potential to become very good)
3) Garner (quality unknown, but without experience he can't be relied upon in this role)
What to do: buy a very good DM (we haven't been linked with anyone), test Garner in a few matches, pray for McTominay not to feck up...
CM:
1) Pogba (World class, can also play different positions across midfield, undisputable starter)
2) Fred (average, with potential to become good)
3) Pereira (below average, potential to become average)
What to do: sell Pereira as he is the worst of the lot, buy a very good player with ability to create goals and handle pressure to become less reliant on Pogba
CAM:
1) Lingard (average, no potential to improve as he lacks end product)
2) Mata (below average, in decline)
3) Gomes (quality unknown, potential to become very good or even better)
4) Alexis (may be used in this position, below average, potential to become very good if he finds his form)
What to do: play Gomes and hope he delivers, sell Mata, buy a very good CAM
RW/RF:
1) none
2) Mason Greenwood (already looks good, potential to become WC, may also play as #9)
3) none
4) Tahith Chong (quality yet unknown, potential to become good or better, but looks better on the left)
What to do: perhaps finally buy someone for this role?
LW/LF:
1) Martial (good, potential to be World class but lacks dedication, may also play as #9)
2) James (quality still unknown, potential unknown)
3) Tahith Chong (quality still unknown, potential to become good)
4) Alexis (absolute shite, looks finished)
What to do: offload Alexis to China
Striker/CF:
1) Rashford (good, potential to be very good but unlikely better)
2) Lukaku (average, no potential to improve under OGS' tactics)
What to do: sell Lukaku. Use Greenwood and Alexis as back up for Rashford.
Conclusion:
World class players - 2 (de Gea, Pogba)
Very good players - 1 (AWB)
Good players - 6 (Lindelof, Shaw, Rashford, Martial, Greenwood, Romero)
Average players - 5 (Smalling, McTominay, Fred, Lingard, Lukaku, Henderson)
Below average players - 5 (Young, Jones, Bailly, Matic, Pereira)
Absolute shite - 5 (Joel Pereira, Lee Grant, Darmian, Marcos Rojo, Alexis)
Quality still unknown - 5 (Tuanzebe, Gomes, Garner, Chong, James)
Only 9 above average players, including back-up goalkeeper and a 17-year old youngster. 10 below average or worse players (and 16 average or worse players). The amount of deadwood / players who are not good enough is somewhat concerning. When do we plan to start disposing off them?
