The new "Man Utd" manager Jose Mourinho did not take long to clarify which current players he will need to fight for the "Premier" league gold.
The Portuguese has already compiled a list of players who will be sold or loaned.
The first name on the list is experienced German Bastian Schweinsteiger, who has been sent to train with the youth team.
Other players are young and promising.
Defenders Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Timothy Fosu-Mensah were moved to the main team by former coach Louis van Gaal, but have become unnecessary.
Andreas Pereira and James Wilson will be loaned out.
Adnan Januzaj, Will Keane, Tyler Blackett, and Paddy McNair also received the unpleasant news that there is no place for them in the club's ranks.
