Man United struggled to get fringe players off the books in the summer, and while they were largely successful in the end, there is more work to do. Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho both left on loan with no obligation to buy, and although neither is expected to have any future at Old Trafford, a final decision has already been made with the latter.
