EPL: Paul Scholes Mentions 8 Players Man Utd Should Sell This Summer
Scholes said United need to trade players to fund reinforcements and named eight he would consider selling as the club targets a midfield rebuild.
- On The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast, Manchester United legend Paul Scholes urged the club to completely overhaul its first-team squad this summer, naming eight players he would sell while playing a 'Keep or Sell?' game with former teammate Nicky Butt.
- Old Trafford's £200 million investment last summer in Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo has not closed the gap to title contenders, while PSR and impending SCR regulations mean United must trade players to rebuild.
- Scholes critiqued left-back Luke Shaw, stating 'He doesn't play enough games'; dismissed defender Noussair Mazraoui's fit, saying 'it's probably time to let him go now'; and questioned midfielder Mason Mount's role under Bruno Fernandes.
- Defender Leny Yoro and midfielder Manuel Ugarte also drew Scholes' scrutiny; Casemiro confirmed in January this season would be his last at the Theatre of Dreams, signaling further departures ahead.
- Manchester United sits third in the Premier League under interim head coach Michael Carrick with seven matches remaining and a seven-point cushion over Chelsea, positioning the club to secure Champions League qualification despite managerial uncertainty.
