Hi eds,
saw on the ManU page a major rebuild is being planned in Madrid. I was wondering if you could give a rundown of potential targets and sales of players
Cheers

{Ed002's Note - They are still considering defensive options but are looking to off-load aging and unwanted players like:
Keylor Navas (G) wants to move on
Fabio Coentrao (LB) will leave in the summer
Mateo Kovacic (CM)
Luka Modric (CM) is also getting on a bit
Toni Kroos (CM) is available
Martin Odegaard (AM/W) will be made available
James Rodriguez (AM) is available to be sold if Bayern do not want to keep him
Gareth Bale (LW) is available
Ronaldo (F) perhaps 2019 rather than 2018
Benzema (S) signed a new contract but available

Kepa Arrizabalaga (G)
David De Gea (G)
Thibault Courtois (G)
Maxime Lopez (CM)
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (CM)
Lincoln (AM) RM have spoken with Gremio who want very large fee and a bunch of odd guarantees - Chelsea and Manchester City were told the same - Manchester United want to see what happens - for now he is on loan to the Turkish 2nd dividion side Caykur Rizespor
Dele Alli (AM)
Eden Hazard (AM/W)
Philippe Coutinho (AM)
Juan Mata (AM)
Julian Draxler (LW)
Neymar (LW) 2019
Goncalo Guedes (RW)
Sadio Mane (RW)
Ferran Torres (RW)
Antoine Griezmann (F) very, very unlikely and probably heading elsewhere
Paulo Dybala (S)
Sergio Aguero (S)
Mauro Icardi (S)

There will be a change of coach at somepoint and they would like Mauricio Pochettino (Coach) but may settle of Carlo Ancelotti for a while

Intriguing list, that really does look like a proper overhaul.
thanks ed!
