Declan Rice, Richarlison and Antony - three players to rebuild Manchester United after summer transfer window exodus

Manchester United waved goodbye to several first teamers on Monday night as they defeated Brentford, and there are more following them out the door. Who will replace them?

There are, however, others who are likely to be on their way.

Jesse Lingard was unavailable but otherwise almost would have been given his farewell appearance, and Phil Jones is a long way from consideration if injuries aren’t a problem, but it would be a surprise to see any of them playing for Erik ten Hag next season.
