BBC And TalkSPORT pundit Danny Murphy believes Manchester United’s next manager may look to offload both Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Pogba in order to make their mark on the club.

The likes of PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino and Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel have been linked with the job at Old Trafford and Murphy thinks that, if either manager is appointed, they will begin a clearout of the playing squad:

“Something radical needs to change at Manchester United even if it means important players like Cristiano Ronaldo being sold, You have to be careful dealing with superstars on big contracts, it’s better to find other takers before you fall out with them.”

“But the bigger picture is that United have gone five years without a trophy and need to back a top manager who is there for the long haul, whether it be Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino or someone else. Those guys will want to do things their own way and a clear-out makes sense, headed by Paul Pogba and Ronaldo.”

With Pogba looking set to depart when his contract expires at the end of June, that is not a decision the next manager will have to make anyway, unless they have designs on persuading the Frenchman into staying.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, does have another year remaining on his current deal at the club. There have been question marks over the Portuguese legend’s future in recent months but it would be a controversial decision were he to be asked to leave.
