Manchester United Urged to Axe €50M Signing From PSG in Ruthless Summer Clearout

Writing for The Daily Mail, former Premier League striker Chris Sutton took a no-nonsense approach to assessing Manchester United’s squad in a game of “keep or sell.” He suggested the club should move on from 12 players.

Those on Sutton’s chopping block include Victor Lindelof, Matthijs de Ligt, Jonny Evans, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Manuel Ugarte, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.

Several are expected to leave regardless, with Lindelof, Evans, and Eriksen all out of contract at the end of the season and not in line for new deals. But the most eye-catching names on the list are the three players United spent a combined £127.8 million on last summer—now already being deemed expendable.

“Not impressed by [Ugarte], not for a fee that could hit £50.8m,” Sutton wrote. “Could United recoup close to that? Well, that’s not my problem! Get rid.”
