Paul Scholes says Man Utd should sell 8 players this summer

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has named eight players the club should consider selling this summer transfer window. Speaking on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast with former teammate Nicky Butt, Scholes said Mason Mount, Harry Maguire, Manuel Ugarte, Leny Yoro, Patrick Dorgu, Noussair Mazraoui, Joshua Zirkzee, and Luke Shaw could all leave Old Trafford alongside Casemiro.

This comes as Man United currently sits third in the Premier League table behind Manchester City and Arsenal. Michael Carrick's side faces Leeds United next Monday.

For Nigerian Manchester United fans—among the largest international fanbases—these comments signal a potential major squad overhaul. Scholes' opinion carries weight as a club icon, and moving so many players at once would reshape the team's direction. The list mixes star names like Maguire with recent signings, suggesting a broad reset rather than minor tweaks.

The summer transfer window typically runs June to September. With Man Utd in a strong league position, these decisions could determine whether they challenge for the title next season or plateau.

Do you agree with Scholes' assessment? Which of these players, if any, should Man Utd keep to maintain squad balance?
