Jamie Carragher has named the huge Manchester United name that they should ‘consider selling’ and claimed that one star will never win a Premier League trophy as the side’s leading man.
The Red Devils swapped bealeagured boss Erik ten Hag for Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim in October with the club stranded in 14th in the table.
The former Sporting Lisbon coach has had a mixed start to his stint in charge, suffering losses to Arsenal and Nottingham Forest but enjoying two wins in the Europa League.
United look set for an overhaul as Amorim aims to put his stamp on the club, with a host of comings and goings expected in the January transfer window and beyond.
And now former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher has become the latest pundit to weigh in on the new era at Old Trafford, writing in the Telegraph that the side should get rid of one of their most significant players.

He said: ‘A dilemma also looms with Bruno Fernandes. Unlike Rashford, Fernandes has been one of United’s best players during a tough period and would have shone with more quality around him during his Old Trafford career.
‘But he is 30 now and there may be value in offloading him to raise funds. I’ve always felt Fernandes is a great talent rather than a great player. He creates a lot of chances but can be very indisciplined with and without the ball.
‘That makes it a lot harder for United to defend as a compact unit as he chases the ball all over the pitch. It looks like great commitment to the supporters but the manager will be tearing his hair out.’
