Manchester United should be looking to sell one of their recent heroes, according to journalist Dean Jones.
The Reds added eight new players to the squad over the summer and brought in under £50 million from sales.
One player who was heavily linked with an exit in the summer was Scotland international Scott McTominay, but he remained and started the season poorly – along with several other players.
It is believed that McTominay was wanted by West Ham, after having a £30m offer rejected by United, but if he can build on his performance against Brentford I’m sure the Hammers will be knocking on the door again.
Game time has been hard to come by for the midfielder, however, he put that to the back of his mind at the weekend when his stoppage time brace contribute to United’s 2-1 win.
Dean Jones casts his opinion on McTominay’s situation ahead of the January transfer window.
The journalist feels the club need to move on the likes of McTominay, Donny van de Beek and Jadon Sancho.
Jones said: “Donny Van de Beek, Scott McTominay and Jadon Sancho, I would be making it a priority to get them out of the football club at this stage, I just don’t see what they’re offering as squad players anymore. You could argue perhaps McTominay could come in there but even from McTominay’s point of view, I’m not sure what his personal motivation is at the moment, because he doesn’t seem like he’s going to have an opportunity long term to even stay in the team.
“And Erik ten Hag needs to have players on board now that actually feel part of this project. It’s been a terrible start to the season, and that can’t roll on into the new year. So, there are some big decisions to be made, and obviously they’ve struggled to actually find these players new clubs, certainly at the valuations that they have the players held out.”
