Manchester United issued their retained list on Friday lunchtime, confirming that they had said farewell to seven players. As was confirmed several weeks ago, centre-back Phil Jones was the headline departure, being joined in exiting Old Trafford by fellow centre-back Axel Tuanzebe.
Neither player made a single first-team appearance for the Reds during the 2022/23 campaign and will now be hoping for happier times ahead.
Fellow defender Di'Shon Bernard has also officially left the club, ending his six-year spell at Old Trafford, as has Ethan Galbraith.
The latter has spent the last two seasons out on loan, spending the 2022/23 campaign at nearby Salford City. Meanwhile, youngsters Eric Hanbury, Charlie Wellens and Manni Norkett have left the Reds' academy.
