JAKARTA - Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has started a major overhaul in his team's defense sector. After bringing in Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martinez, the Dutchman will release a number of defenders.
Ten Hag has reportedly decided that six Manchester United defenders will be released. They will be released permanently or on loan.
The Daily Mail reported that the six names were Alex Telles, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Eric Bailly, Axel Tuanzebe, Ethan Laird and Phil Jones.
Unlike Cristiano Ronaldo, who is not allowed to leave for another club, these six players will be urged to immediately find a new club before the summer transfer window closes.
Telles' position at Manchester United has been under threat since the arrival of Ten Hag. The situation was further complicated for the Brazilian after Malacia's arrival.
The player who was brought in from Porto is likely to be a coating for Malacia and senior United defender Luke Shaw. Rumors, Sevilla are interested in using the services of the player.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka shared the same fate. Since being signed from Crystal Palace for a price of 50 million pounds, he has failed to perform satisfactorily. He indicated that he would be loaned to his old club.
While Jones began to be forgotten after a long absence due to a knee injury. The player, who is now 30 years old, has been linked with DC United, the MLS club coached by former Manchester United partner Wayne Rooney.
For Baily, his position was clearly unfavorable. He lost out to Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane and new recruit, Lisandro Martinez.
Former United boss, Jose Mourinho, has revealed his intention to reunite with the French defender at AS Roma. However, Fulham and AC Milan are also interested in signing the player.
So what about the two young MU players, Laird and Tuanzebe? Laird is reportedly a target for Watford, while Tuanzebe has the opportunity to join Bournemouth.
