Manchester United currently have two players on their books that they consider “must-sells” this summer.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Eric Bailly and Alex Telles are two players that the club regard as priorities to get rid of.
That is a clear indication that Erik ten Hag has decided that both players are surplus to requirements, and there’s no point keeping them around.
Telles, 30, spent last season on loan at Seville, where he won the Europa League. He is already behind Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia in the left-back pecking order.
Meanwhile, Bailly was loaned to Marseille last season. He has another injury-ridden campaign, making just 23 appearances for the Ligue 1 side.
Making a decision to get rid of players like this is usually the easy part. I suspect United will struggle to find buyers for them.
United have already released Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe, so Ten Hag is finally cutting down on the amount of centre-backs in the squad. He needs to add more quality to that department this summer.
