    Choose 5 players

    Still seething from that and the axe needs wielding for next season. If you could keep only 5 players to start the rebuild, who would they be. For me:
    Bruno - world class and hugely committed.
    Botman- top top player.
    Burn - heart of a lion
    Hall - gonna be one hell of a player (already is)
    Joelinton - game changer, provides bite in midfield.

    There are others (eg Miley) but youre only allowed 5.

    Bruno for obvious reasons

    Hall because he's not even at his best yet and he's already brilliant

    Botman-injuries aside, he's a gold-standard defender

    Tino-when fit, he's excellent

    I'm also going to say....Thiaw. Aye, he's had a few ricks but hasn't everybody in this shitshow of a seasson. I think he's got huge potential.

    Note, no attacking players albeit if we were allowed six, I would have included Ramsey.

    Bruno - solid and a good captain
    Botman - as others said on his day superb
    Ramsey - he has the potential
    Hall - Brilliant in a number of positions
    Livramento - As per Hall

    I know it's only 5 but as reserves I would put in Miley, Thiaw & Gordon

    Man Utd think they can sign Bruno for 67 Million.
    Keep the 2 young wingback Hall, Livramento
    Bruno
    Botman
    Tonali..

    To be honest we should sell everyone who wants to leave

    To me, only Bruno and Hall can't be replaced - and it doesn't matter how much money you spend.
    Apart from that, I'd also keep Botman, Livramento and Woltemade if given the option to build a squad from scratch.

    For me its Bruno, Hall, Tonali, Botman, Tino in that order.
    But I don't see us hanging on to them all in the summer

    For me the 5 that come to mind…

    Bruno
    Hall
    Tino
    Botman
    Thiaw

    I know there has been noise about a large turnover in players, but who know’s how many or who… but I won’t be surprised if we see a ‘big name’ sold also.

    I’d be surprised if we brought in no more than 5 (max) new players… so maybe another question should be which 5 will move on… who is likely to want to move, or a position we desperately need to improve on, or just at the end of their contract and/or starting to show their age too much.

    For me…

    Woltemade - He’s a big man to a little man, and Howe doesn’t seem to want to play 2 though the middle in any scenario. I think we’re in the wrong league for him unfortunately, but I like the lad.

    Tripps - Been a great player and a big presence, but his age is catching up with him (hard call to make though)

    Pope - I don’t have to explain this one right 😉

    Willock - Had a great game against Chelsea, but his passing and position play is shocking, and 1 good game is not a reason to keep him.

    As for a high profile player I think we could lose, one of or both, Gordon and Tonali.
