Manchester United supporters vote on who they want to leave the club and the results are interesting
As the Red Devils prepare for a massive overhaul, 56,000 Manchester United fans have had their say on who should be fired in the summer.
Interim manager Ralf Rangnick recently stated that as many as ten new players may be required in the upcoming transfer window, with United having gone five years without a trophy and looking increasingly unlikely to compete in the Champions League next season following road defeats to Liverpool and Arsenal.
Erik Ten Hag has been named the club's new manager, with a contract that runs until 2025. The Ajax manager will look to make an immediate impact on the team.
His arrival might spell the end for many at Old Trafford, as United supporters have been voting in a new Sky Sports poll with 1.7 million votes on who should be fired.
Paul Pogba was the most high-profile player among the 30 first-teamers included in the poll. After walking off 10 minutes into Liverpool's 4-0 thrashing, the World Cup winner seemed to have played his final game.
"I don't think it's very probable he'll play again," Rangnick admitted, referring to the current season.
Rangnick stated, "I don't think it's very probable he'll play again," referring to Pogba's current deal, which expires in the summer.
Pogba, who cost £89 million and was recently jeered by fans during a 3-2 win against Norwich, is wanted out by 91 percent of fans.
After a spate of poor defensive performances, 75% want club captain Harry Maguire to leave, while fellow defenders Eric Bailly (72.7%), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (65%), Phil Jones (90%), and Victor Lindelof (52%), are also not wanted.
Nemanja Matic has already confirmed his departure, which will be welcomed by 94% of his fans. Juan Mata (89.3%), Edinson Cavani (86%), and Jesse Lingard (82.4%) are all out of contract, and the opinion is that it's time for them to go on.
Andreas Pereira (87%) and Anthony Martial (86%) are both no longer wanted loanees, while academy product Brandon Williams (47.6%) is less in demand.
Another remarkable but not entirely unexpected result of the poll is that 85 percent of respondents want the club's much-maligned Glazer family to go after 17 years as owners.
In terms of fan support, Jadon Sancho (93.6%), Bruno Fernandes (90.9%), Anthony Elanga (89.9%), David De Gea (88.3%), Raphael Varane (85.3%), Hannibal Mejbri (79.5%), and Scott McTominay (75%) are the major players supporters desire to see continue under Ten Hag's leadership.
Cristiano Ronaldo, United's talisman and leading goalscorer, had 64.1 percent of fans wanting him to return for a second season, while 56.5 percent wanted Marcus Rashford to stay.
