Paul Scholes has given a brutal assessment of which players Manchester United should remove from their current squad. With the exception of perhaps one or two stars, the futures of the Red Devils' entire roster is uncertain, as the club seek to navigate their new world under Ruben Amorim.

Additionally, United's co-owners Ineos have made no secret of their desire to cut costs in an effort to improve the club's financial position and with the January window open for another two weeks, there is expected to be a lot of activity at Old Trafford.

Scholes, who made 714 appearances for the club during his illustrious career, gave his opinion on which players he believes should be cast aside. Many in the United dressing room will be relieved that he is not the decision-maker, as he cut as many as eight players from a recent starting XI.

Perhaps his most surprising call was to keep goalkeeper Andre Onana, who has come in for a lot for criticism since his arrival last summer and was at fault for two of Brighton's goals in last weekend's 3-1 defeat. Manchester United have not made the desired improvement under Ruben Amorim, who was appointed in November.

The Red Devils suffered their 10th defeat of the league campaign on Sunday and fell to 13th in the table. Paul Scholes believes that as many as eight players from United's current squad should be sold. 'I think I'd keep him,' he told TNT Sports. 'I still think there's more to come from him but for now, I'll keep him.'.
