Revealed: The 15 players under threat of being ditched by Man Utd as Erik ten Hag plans ruthless clear-out

Erik ten Hag is reportedly planning a ruthless summer clear-out at Manchester United, with up to 15 players on the chopping block.

The Red Devils have brought their six-year wait for major silverware to a close in 2022-23 with Carabao Cup glory, while remaining in contention for an FA Cup triumph and top-four finish in the Premier League, but inconsistency has remained an issue.

United crashed out of the Europa League at the quarter-final stage after suffering a 5-2 aggregate defeat to competition specialists Sevilla, with an error-strewn outing on Spanish soil convincing Ten Hag that he needs to freshen up his ranks.

A mass exodus of talent could now be on the cards at Old Trafford, according to , with the Red Devils ready to free up squad space and funds by parting with a number of established stars and fringe players.

  Harry Maguire

  Remains club captain at Old Trafford, but the no-nonsense centre-half was dropped by Ten Hag early in the 2022-23 campaign and may require a fresh start elsewhere after seeing costly mistakes creep into his game.

  Victor Lindelof

  The Swedish defender has been in Manchester since 2017, but he faces fierce competition for places when everyone is fit and could find it easier to get the regular game time he craves elsewhere.

  Aaron Wan-Bissaka

  Appeared to have been written off when Diogo Dalot filled United’s right-back berth, but has played his way back into contention and will hope to convince Ten Hag that no upgrade in his position is required.
