Manchester United set for summer shake-up amid Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘uncertain’ future, working to sign Kalvin Phillips

Summer shake-up coming to Old Trafford A handful of first-team players at Manchester United are expected to leave this summer, according to the Mirror. There are six players who are out of contract at the end of the season, including the likes of Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Edinson Cavani, who will all depart Old Trafford. However, unhappy stars like Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek, Dean Henderson, Phil Jones, Axel Tuanzebe and Eric Bailly will be forced to stay until a decision is made on their future by club’s new head coach.

It is expected to be Erik ten Hag, who will be open to allowing everyone to prove themselves before transfer decisions are made. The Mirror also state that Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at United will be “uncertain” if the club miss out on Champions League qualification.

It is a different situation if Ten Hag comes in and takes his fancy to someone like Van de Beek, therefore changing the Dutch midfielder’s decision to request a transfer. But you cannot keep someone like Henderson, who cannot displace David De Gea and will simply just want to play first-team football. There will be big changes at Old Trafford this summer and this is normal when a new coach comes in.

It might even be a good thing if Ronaldo leaves. The signing didn’t make too much sense at the time and it just piled more pressure on the side to perform. Read the full story Phillips linked with fierce rivals The Manchester Evening News
