It's a hazardous time to be a Manchester United player.
News broke this week that United could raise in excess of £100million and slash the club's wage bill with an epic summer clear-out.
The exodus could reach double figures as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS make swingeing cuts and conduct a deep cleanse of a decomposing squad.
It feels necessary, not least with financial restrictions snapping at clubs' heels nowadays. You get the sense Erik ten Hag's squad is pulling in two directions - and the dead wood holding them back has to go.
