Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane believes this summer could be the ideal time for a new manager to stamp his authority at Old Trafford because of the number of players that are out of contract.
United are set to cut ties with five senior, first-team players this summer, including midfielder Paul Pogba and striker Edinson Cavani. Goalkeeper Lee Grant and midfield duo Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata are also set to depart when their current deals expire in June.
The departures will free up space in the squad for new additions, which are expected this summer, and decrease the wage bill. Furthermore, it will also see players move on that may not be considered in the new manager's plans without the need of waiting for a buyer and a transfer fee.
