It’s April, and Manchester United are still in the race for two trophies. The Red Devils are in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, where they face relegation-threatened Sevilla, and also came to the semi-final of the FA Cup, while one trophy, against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup, is already in the pocket. But that same club provided coach Erik ten Hag and the fans unrest after they easily defeated United in the Premier League. The score was 2-0, but should have been two or three more if only David De Gea was not in form. The Red Devils were outclassed in that game, and that prompted the Dutch tactician to think of selling some first-team players in June.

Their next match is against Brentford, who already defeated them 4-0, and they must be totally concentrated for that match. It’s now a three-horse race between Manchester, Newcastle and Tottenham for the last two Champions League places, and Ten Hag needs to find the right formula for his players. After that, some of them will say goodbye to Old Trafford.Man Utd squad held players-only meeting after Newcastle defeatAccording to Manchester Evening News, there are around six first-team players which will probably be sold in June. Alex Telles, Harry Maguire, Brandon Williams, Dean Henderson and Anthony Martial are those players, while Jadon Sancho is on a ‘short leash’. According to MEN, Ten Hag is still not sure if he wants to give a former Borussia man another chance or not. He is growing tired of waiting for the winger to find his form finally. The Dutch tactician was more than patient with Sancho, who was unable to play at all after facing both physical and mental issues since a draw with Chelsea in October 2022. Ten Hag gave him some time to travel to Holland, and he came back in January and has played since, but without a real impact. His time might be borrowed, but the former Manchester City graduate still has a bunch of games to show his boss that he deserves a place at Old Trafford. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7153384##
