The likes of Bailly/Lingard/Mata/Jones should have even been sold before covid hit planet Earth. Those players are pointless for us right now just as they were back then
We don't know how to sell players

You want to go into the season with 3 CBs in the squad?
Obviously selling one would have implied acquiring another body (possibly fit too while we're at it)
Eric Bailly is fit
The clock is ticking thenEric Bailly is fit
I'm getting a bit sick of hearing this. Do you think Fergie would have stood for that? He'd have told the player in no uncertain terms that he was surplus to requirements and the player would've been gone ASAP. It was before my time, but I'd be surprised if Ince, Hughes, and Kanchelskis were that enthusiastic about leaving, and yet leave they did.
We wait to long to sell underwhelming players, Matic, Mata, Bailly, Lingard, Pereira, Jones etc have been deadwood for at least 2 seasons. Wonder why we can't sell them now?
It's not only about the wages is about us holding onto deadwood until it's completely rotten.

We wait till they become a meme before selling them. Relying on them for too long.
This year we signed 2 players. One was Jadon Sancho a transfer that took a year and a half to make. The other is Varane who wanted to leave from Real and is a United fan. These were two easy signings with barely any competition for them. Meanwhile United had given new contract extensions to Grant and Mata + it had struggled to sell anyone. It looks to me that this is the same old Manchester United who struggles to sell, it struggles to buy, it only goes for the obvious signings and would give contract extensions to dead wood.
We must sell James and Lingard. It would be stupid to keep them for some rare games to play
As I went to respond to this, I realized it was two and half years old. And still true.
