Manchester United is bracing for a significant squad overhaul this summer, and club icon Paul Scholes has weighed in with a brutally honest assessment. While a major clear-out is expected, Scholes's list of players he believes should be sold includes some names that will raise eyebrows among the Old Trafford faithful.

The club is targeting a busy transfer window, with a new midfielder to replace the departing Casemiro being a top priority. Strengthening the attack and full-back positions are also on the agenda, with reports suggesting United aims to generate around £100 million from player sales to fund these moves.

Expected departures like Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkzee seem straightforward, but Scholes believes the rebuild must go deeper. On *The Good, The Bad & The Football* podcast, he argued that to restore United to title-challenging status, even some current first-team regulars should be moved on.

His most notable take? Defender Harry Maguire. Praising Maguire's remarkable resilience, Scholes said, "I think he’s been sensational with what he’s done... but I’m thinking about a Manchester United team you want to win the league and the Champions League." Scholes suggested that while Maguire has been excellent, United needs a different caliber of defender, like a young Rio Ferdinand, to reach the pinnacle. He favored keeping the younger Matthijs de Ligt over the Englishman.

Scholes also singled out young defender Leny Yoro, indicating he has struggled to adapt. This perspective from a legend who knows what it takes to win at the highest level underscores the scale of the challenge facing United. It's not just about selling fringe players; it's about making tough decisions on established figures to build a squad capable of competing for the biggest trophies once again.
