Mark Bosnich says only three Man Utd players are safe from being sold this summer

Ex-Manchester United player Mark Bosnich believes only three players are safe from being sold this summer with a huge overhaul needed.

‘As far I’m concerned, he’s done his job. He was brought in to score goals.

‘People will say recently he hasn’t scored many, but recently the team haven’t
