In any underperforming business, to put an end to complacency, rot needs to be cut out. Ruthless changes are needed with no empathy. United needs to operate in the same manner this summer.
I feel that 3/4 new signings would be like putting a sticky plaster on a broken leg. A complete overhaul is needed. It will take time for the new team to gel, but surely that would be better than watching the current lot plod about the pitch.
Young - kicked out the door, contract terminated, locked away in a dark room. Whatever it takes to get him out.
Jones - please go away. He’s been here far too long.
Herrera - his head was turned by money offered by PSG, so good riddance.
Mata - released to any takers. Take his contract offer off the table.
Sanchez - offload him if possible. May need to subsidise his wages. Fingers crossed China can help us out.
Lingard - isn’t good enough for United, I don’t care if he’s an academy product. Man United players need to be able to score and assist goals.
Darmian - I don’t think anyone knows where he is anyway, so just keep ignoring him and hope he goes away.
Valencia - thankfully halfway out the door anyway. Shins around the country will no longer get bruised.
Rojo - bye. Rojo is not red.
De Gea - I never thought I would ever say this but if he really wants to go, sell him. Go and pay Oblak’s release clause. The 3 amigos out the door in one summer?
That’s 10 outgoing players that will need to be replaced with 8/9/10 new players. If this isn’t done, average players will remain at the club. Anything else will be a half-job.
Who am I missing?
Edit: update to say that I don't mean 10 new players. Part of the 10 incoming players can be made up of youth joining the squad such as Tuanzebe to replace Rojo.
10 out is the important first step. Get the rot cut out and the rebuild can be spread over a couple of windows.
