Former Liverpool striker Dean Saunders has advised Sir Jim Ratcliffe to commence his tenure in Manchester United’s football department by decisively offloading 10 players.
The listed players include Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Antony, Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Jonny Evans, Scott McTominay, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Jadon Sancho.
Saunders contends that some of these individuals do not meet the standards required to play for the Red Devils.

Recalling that the chairman of the petrochemical conglomerate INEOS recently sealed a £1.3 billion deal with the Glazer family, granting him a 25 percent stake in Manchester United, Torizone highlights that this agreement positions Ratcliffe to assume control of the club’s football operations.
During a talkSPORT interview, Saunders remarked, “Rashford has been there too long. [Anthony] Martial, I will drive him to the airport. Antony, drive him to the airport. Luke Shaw has been there too long. [Diogo] Dalot’s not good enough. [Raphael] Varane, he’s a good player, but it’s not worked for him. Ten Hag’s tried to get rid of Varane.”
He continued, “Jonny Evans is not good enough now, so there’s the back four. [Aaron] Wan-Bissaka, he’s tried to get rid of him. He got rid of Fred. [Scott] McTominay, the manager has obviously shown he doesn’t think he is good enough, but he gets goals. He is not good enough to play for Man United, in my opinion. If you play for Man United in midfield, you have got to be one of the best players in the world in midfield. You are not playing for Crystal Palace!”
Saunders concluded, “I am just thinking off the top of my head. Sancho, Antony, Martial, you are looking at what, £200m or something like that just for them?”
