Seven Man Utd stars who have just 12 games to save their club careers including McTominay and Maguire
MANCHESTER UNITED manager Erik ten Hag has some major decisions to make at the end of the season.
Ten Hag currently has a lot on his plate with United chasing a surprise treble, trying to land the FA Cup and Europa League after winning the Carabao Cup.
However, the Dutchman’s Old Trafford rebuild will continue in the summer and some players will have to make way for incoming stars.
The 53-year-old gaffer will have to raise funds to make signings, especially if the Red Devils miss out on Champions League qualification.
That is why some players, who have failed to impress Ten Hag, will be sold in the summer transfer window – unless they manage to change his mind in the next 12 Premier League games.
SunSport take a look at the SEVEN players who could be on their way…
ANTHONY MARTIAL
FRENCH striker enjoyed a little revival under Ten Hag, but nothing close to Marcus Rashford’s success.
A raft of injuries have halted Martial’s resurgence and Ten Hag appears to be prioritising a striker to replace Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.
The France international’s contract also runs out in 2024, and United may want to cash in on him at the end of the season.
SCOTT McTOMINAY
THE midfielder has fallen down the pecking order with Ten Hag preferring the likes of Fred, Christian Eriksen, Casemiro and Marcel Sabitzer in the centre of the park.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is a big admirer of McTominay, who would command a lucrative fee and appears keen to move to Tyneside in the summer as he would get more opportunities.
WOUT WEGHORST
THE Dutch striker joined United on loan from Burnley in January to fill in for Ronaldo but has so far failed to even come close to eclipsing the club legend.
Weghorst is not the man to spearhead United’s attack and should be on his way back to Vincent Kompany’s Clarets once his deal runs out in June.
AARON WAN-BISSAKA
TEN HAG doesn’t consider Wan-Bissaka as his starting right-back and prefers Diogo Dalot.
Wan-Bissaka’s contract runs out next year and United might opt to cash in amid intense interest from his former club Crystal Palace.
DAVID DE GEA
THE Spanish keeper still inspires tremendous confidence between Manchester United’s sticks.
But De Gea’s lucrative contract runs out in June and United will only extend his 12-year stay at Old Trafford if he agrees to a lower salary amid an upcoming wage restructure.
That is a deal the Spain international is keen to take, but the Red Devils are keeping tabs on other goalkeepers as well.
HARRY MAGUIRE
STILL Manchester United’s club captain but Maguire has fallen down the pecking order behind Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.
And Ten Hag has often preferred to start left-back Luke Shaw at centre-back even when Maguire was fit.
The England international is running out of time and appears set for the exit door amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan.
MARCEL SABITZER
The Austrian joined Red Devils on loan from Bayern Munich to fill in for the injured Christian Eriksen in midfield.
Eriksen looks bound to return to Ten Hag’s starting line-up next season as Sabitzer has yet to convince his manager and club’s hierarchy to meet his reported £18m release clause.
