Man Utd told to sell six top stars this summer, keep De Gea, others [Full list]

Former England striker Darren Bent has advised Manchester United to sell six key players in the summer transfer window: Harry Maguire, Fred, Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ronaldo, Scott McTominay, and Paul Pogba.

Bent also wants David de Gea, Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho, and Marcus Rashford to remain at Old Trafford at the conclusion of the season.

This comes after Manchester United were ousted from the Champions League by Atletico Madrid earlier this week.

Bent told talkSPORT’s Drivetime: “The ones you keep are [David] de Gea and Varane.” I believe you require a new right-back. Maguire, (Harry)? Nope.

“I don’t think [Scott McTominay] is good enough, but he’s your own. Building-wise? Nope.

“I think Fred is a weird one because you have to say he’s been one in the last few weeks who has gone, ‘You know what? I’m up for this’. But I guess if you are trying to start against and build a successful side, he might have to go.

“You keep Sancho. Ronaldo has got to go. [Edinson] Cavani has got to go. [Martial] has got to go.

“Rashford is the one where, if the new manager fancies him, there is something there. If he can get that best out of him, then you keep him because he is young.

“[Pogba] is going to go anyway, he is on a free at the end of the season. If Manchester United have any kind of aspirations [he should go].

“I love Pogba as a player, I really do, but Manchester United fans are becoming sick of saying, ‘we are waiting for that consistency’, so he would have to go.”
