April 22, (THEWILL) – Manchester United are planning a thorough makeover of their playing squad in the approaching transfer window as new manager Erik ten Hag continues to put his stamp on the club.

The anticipation of Ten Hag’s coming from Ajax is coupled with the possibility of a class of Red Devils’ players departing. Fans and the club are said to have had enough of a number of frequent contributors at United. These players will be replaced by players who Ten Hag feels can restore the club’s past grandeur.

Forwards, midfielders, and defenders are all projected to be cut ahead of the 2022/2023 calendar, with very few positions expected to be protected.

United may let even stars like Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, and Alex Telles go at the next opportunity, according to recommendations attributed to interim manager Ralf Rangnick and feelers around Old Trafford.

In the meanwhile, United will need to find a new centre-back, two central midfielders, a winger, and a striker as part of what might be a full overhaul.

Donny van de Beek, who played for Ten Hag at Ajax, is one player who will supposedly have a chance to establish his worth at Old Trafford once he returns from loan.

In addition to these supposed replacements, Declan Rice of West Ham United is also on the Dutchman’s want list, while Darwin Nunez of Benfica, an Arsenal target, is also on the United shopping list for the overhaul.
