Manchester United would do well to clear out a number of their under-achieving players as they prepare for life under new manager Erik ten Hag next season.

“Bailly’s never had a solid run of games. Lindelof would be a bit more in the balance, though, I’d imagine. He’s had some good spells, and was obviously selected ahead of Harry Maguire for the Arsenal game, but…
