Erik ten Hag has one month to solve five Manchester United squad issues

It's going to be fascinating to see what types of changes Erik ten Hag implements during his first pre-season with Manchester United. The Dutchman was unveiled as the new United manager at the start of the week as work officially began on a massive rebuilding job and a new era for a club which has lost its way in recent years.

As part of his first interview with the club, Ten Hag revealed that the members of the squad who are not involved in the upcoming international fixtures are due back from their holidays on Monday 27 June.

It gives him exactly one month to perfect his plan before he gets to work with the players in a hands-on role and time to solve five squad issues before a ball is even kicked.

Which players are going

At the top of Ten Hag's list will be deciding which players are actually going to be part of his project, and which of those he actually wants along for the ride as well.

It is well documented that six players are expected to leave when their contracts expire this summer, though one of them, Juan Mata, has already hinted he would be happy to stay if offered a new deal.

United's squad is filled with fringe players who are yet to cut it at the club, and Ten Hag will need to be ruthless when evaluating which players really do add value to his side next season.

Dean Henderson, Axel Tuanzebe, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Alex Telles, Brandon Williams, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Andreas Pereira and Anthony Martial are all contracted beyond the summer window, though it would make little sense to keep them all at the club.
