Manchester United have released seven players and they must sell more this summer

Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe have both left Manchester United wondering what could have been with a tad more fortune.

The centre-backs were brilliant performers at their best but, unfortunately, their bodies let them down and succumbed to injury problems too often, something which curtailed the progress either could have made at Old Trafford.

Sir Alex Ferguson thought Jones could become 'United's best-ever player', while Tuanzebe's flawless display in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain when he was just 22 years old is certain to live long in fans' memories. Remarkably on the back of a 10-month spell on the sidelines, Tuanzebe was outstanding that night, keeping Kylian Mbappe quiet and it's a genuine shame that injuries have denied him the chance to reach his potential.
