Manchester United have been urged to sell 'selfish' stars Antony and Alejandro Garnacho by former Red Devils coach Rene Meulensteen.
Sir Alex Ferguson's former lieutenant has accused the duo of having the wrong attitude and wants to see them gone from Old Trafford. United boss Ruben Amorim is desperate to overhaul his squad this summer, and has targeted landing Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford in a £60m deal.
But he must also shift deadwood to free up transfer funds. Meulensteen told Tipman Tips : "I wouldn't bring Antony back because I've seen enough of him that he's not cut out for the club and not good enough.
"His performances are fuelled by his personality and are not for the good of the team. He's selfish. You will never get your £80m back from Antony.
"I thought it was stupid business at the time when I heard it was happening. I know that when they heard about the deal in Amsterdam, they were doing cartwheels.

"It shows again that players in those lower leagues, like Holland, are completely different. It's easy for them to look good.
"But coming into the Premier League is so much different. What is Antony’s return? How many goals and assists has he got?
"He's probably got as many, if not more, in Spain than in England, that different kind of football is more ideal for him.
"Garnacho is the same as Antony. Yes, he's a young boy, but personality wise, some things are not right with him, and he is bad for the club. That shows in his performances and lack of consistency.
"He’s a young player who has good value to him, so if they were to get offered any sort of money, they should count their losses.

"Because he isn't going to live up to his potential at Old Trafford, and that can free up some money to spend elsewhere."
