There has been a great deal of change on and off the pitch at Manchester United in recent seasons with the squad now almost unrecognisable from the one left behind by Jose Mourinho four years ago.
Mourinho was replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the dugout midway through the 2018/19 campaign and the Norwegian was urged by former teammate Paul Scholes to put his own stamp on the team by clearing out the squad he had inherited.
United had a bloated squad and a sizable wage bill that needed to be scaled down, while the club were on course for an underwhelming sixth-placed finish and a trophyless campaign. There were a number of players who needed to be moved on.
