Some of Manchester United's fringe players felt the wrath of manager Erik ten Hag very early on into his reign as Red Devils boss.
Five of them were even exiled from the club's first-team dressing room at the training ground in the summer to accommodate the host of new signings that had arrived during the off-season. According to reports, the AON Training Centre's first-team changing room is only able to accommodate a maximum of 24 players, which meant a cull was in order.
The unlucky group that were cast aside consisted of club veteran Phil Jones and promising youngsters Shola Shoretire and Tegen Mendi. Others included young left-back Brandon Williams, who once enjoyed semi-regular first-team football under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Axel Tuanzebe.
