Ratcliffe Urged to Kickstart Era at United by Offloading 10 Players
Former Liverpool striker Dean Saunders has urged Sir Jim Ratcliffe to begin his rule over Manchester United’s football department by ruthlessly offloading 10 players.
The 10 players are Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Antony, Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Jonny Evans, Scott McTominay, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jadon Sancho.
Saunders believes some of these players are not good enough to play for the Red Devils.
Recall that the chairman of petrochemical conglomerate INEOS last week agreed to a £1.3 billion deal with the Glazer family, giving him a 25 per cent stake in Man United.
It would allow Ratcliffe to take charge of Man United’s football operations.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Saunders said: “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.
“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!”
He added: “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?
