The likes of David de Gea, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw already have a good idea of their roles, while the likes of Eric Bailly, Axel Tuanzebe, Phil Jones and Anthony Martial all perhaps expect to leave soon. As for Donny van de Beek, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho, they have a major point to prove to their new boss.
Three Antony alternatives United can target this summer
Ten Hag will no doubt hope he can welcome Antony to Carrington soon. The United boss has identified his former Ajax star as the ideal target to bolster the Reds’ frontline.
Reports from the Netherlands though have suggested the Brazilian may only be available for a fee of around €70-80m, which could put him outside of United’s budget. Ten Hag could therefore have to look elsewhere.
