Considering the amount of time Ole has been here, I think we have done incredibly well to ship out as many players as we have. Let's hope that we can sell Sanchez, Rojo, and Smalling for decent money as we are so far proving we don't need them. The amount of wages saved there alone is probably £450k+ per week and I don't think we'd get our pants pulled down in terms of transfer fees either. Incredibly realistic that we gain £50million from selling those players.
I don't particularly see a strong need to sell Andreas, Lingard, Jones, Mata or Dalot/Matic etc that seem to be the names popping up the most. At least not as early as the next transfer window. Don't get me wrong, I want Jones and at least one of Andreas/Lingard gone as much as anyone, but I don't necessarily see the immediate need for it with the rate that this squad is being purged and rebuilt. It's going to be a long process and hopefully we can get them sold and get the right players in soon, but I'm thinking due to the pandemic and Ole's words on transfer funds mean it might go a little slower in the immediate future than it has since he joined.
I just feel that unless the funds are there to sign Sancho and then start replacing other players we sell, it won't be rushed as much in this current situation. I think Ole doesn't exactly trust Andreas or Lingard, but we have 10 players ahead of them in the positions they would be most likely to play IMO. The need to use them is low.
In Midfield: Bruno, Pogba, Matic, McTominay, and Fred are ahead of them
In Attack: Rashford, Martial, James, Greenwood, and Mata are ahead of them
There's also the option to just play Ighalo as a second striker instead of resorting to playing Lingard/Andreas. Of course, this means we probably should try to be selling one of them at least, but we've always wanted a big squad at United and the players are seen as assets to bulk it out even if not entirely needed. We always have these 2-3 players who probably don't get into our first or second XI that aren't even youth players, so I do expect it to stay this way.
However, long-term planning should suggest that Lingard, Andreas, Jones, Mata, Grant* and Ighalo* would all no longer be here come June 2021/2022. I'll be happy to eat my words but it seems like a bit too much to hope for that all of these guys are gone so fast. It's good progress at the right pace IMO so far. Keep it up.
*Contracts ending that I don't expect to be renewed another time.
