Erik ten Hag has already proven he is more than capable of making ruthless decisions while at the helm of Manchester United, as five Red Devils found out earlier this season.
The Dutchman axed five players from the club's first-team dressing room in order to accommodate new signings that arrived in the summer, with club veterans like Phil Jones even getting the boot. Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, Antony all joined in the summer, while Martin Dubravka came in on loan but has since returned to Newcastle.
Due to the influx of new arrivals, United's first-team dressing room at their Carrington training base was left packed to the rafters and Ten Hag was forced to make a decision. As per The Sun, 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.
