Man Utd must maintain new ruthless edge through beginnings of Erik ten Hag era

Just two days into June, Manchester United have already confirmed the departure of three stalwarts.

The club have announced that Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata will all be leaving on free transfers when their contracts expire later this month. Just like that, a trio with a combined 750 Red Devils appearances to their names are gone.

These are three players Man Utd could and should have moved on last summer. But what’s done is done, and at least those upstairs didn’t repeat past errors in hastily handing them new deals for the sake of keeping them around with little else planned.

No Premier League squad fits the description of ‘bloated’ quite like Man Utd’s has in recent years, a mismatch of different eras, styles and philosophies. The 20-time English champions should be open to offers for 90% of their roster, if only to force a series of incomings under the new regime.

The same ruthless edge should stand for incomings too. Jurrien Timber looks likely to spurn Man Utd’s advances and remain at Ajax. OK, fine, that’s in the history books, move onto the next target.
