Panic at Old Trafford as Man United Identify 5 Players Who Could Be Offloaded Ahead of Eric Ten Hag Arrival

• Manchester United are set for a busy summer transfer window ahead of the appointment of a permanent manager
• Ajax boss Eric ten Hag is understood to be in line to take charge of the club once Ralf Rangnick steps down at the end of the season
• Ten Hag has been tipped to conduct a radical surgery on the current squad in his bid to rebuild a formidable team that can challenge for titles

The future of at least five Man United stars is at risk ahead of the appointment of Eric ten Hag as permanent boss.

The Dutchman is a few steps away from being named Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's successor after United reportedly reached a verbal agreement with him.

Ten Hag is expected to conduct a radical surgery on the current Man United squad that has been underwhelming through the season.

According to The Sun, the Ajax boss is commonly known for his possession-based style of play.

Owing to this fact, the publication claims several United players will be at risk of being offloaded to pave way for the signing of new purchases that can fit Ten Hag's philosophy.

Here is a list of the top 5 players who could be offloaded:

5. Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Top on the list of players who face a bleak future under Ten Hag includes Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The Englishman has significantly fallen down the pecking order, with Diogo Dalot pushing the right-back to the bench.

4. Anthony Martial

Anthony Martial is obviously on his way out of Man United.

The Frenchman is currently on loan with Sevilla and the Red Devils are set to cash in on him after failing to hit the levels expected of him at Old Trafford.

3. Scott McTominay

The midfielder has been a key squad member for United since bursting into the first team.

However, Ten Hag is likely to recommend for his offloading as he does not offer enough for a team looking to dominate possession.

2. David de Gea

Perhaps a surprise inclusion on the list given his contribution to the team over the last decade when he joined the club.

However, reports suggest Ten Hag is likely to overlook him due to his lack of ball-playing quality and proper ball distribution.

1. Cristiano Rinaldo

And finally capping the list is Cristiano Ronaldo.

While the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has not shown any signs of rust, his advancing age will be a cause of concern.

As such, Ten Hag is likely to push for the signing of a more prolific and young striker to replace the Portuguese talisman.
