Last week, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag announced his retained list ahead of the upcoming Premier League campaign.
Phil Jones, Axel Tuanzebe, Ethan Galbraith, Di'Shon Bernard, Eric Hanbury, Charlie Wellens and Manni Norkett have all said goodbye to Old Trafford, while David de Gea could still depart. Talks are ongoing between Ten Hag and the goalkeeper over a new contract.
United have released many players over the years, although few of them have gone on to achieve significant success. Sir Alex Ferguson's judgement was impeccable and even the greats who left Old Trafford, such as Jaap Stam, was sold rather than released.
