56,000 Manchester United fans have had their say on who should be axed in the summer as the Red Devils prepare for a mass overhaul.
Interim manager Ralf Rangnick recently said as many as 10 new players could be needed in the next transfer window, with United now going five years without a trophy and increasingly unlikely to play in the Champions League next season after back-to-back defeats against Liverpool and Arsenal on the road.
Erik Ten Hag has been appointed as the club's new manager on a deal until 2025 and the Ajax boss will look to immediately put his imprint on the team.

His arrival could spark the end for many at Old Trafford and United fans have been voting on who should get the chop in a new Sky Sports poll that garnered 1.7 million votes.
Of the 30 first-teamers included, Paul Pogba was the most high-profile player who fans want out. The World Cup winner looks to have played his final game, after limping off 10 minutes into the 4-0 hammering at the hands of Liverpool.
Rangnick admitted, "I don't think it is very likely he will play again" and although he meant in the current campaign, Pogba's contract is up in the summer.
Recently jeered by fans in the 3-2 win over Norwich, £89 million man Pogba is wanted out by 91 per cent of supporters.
75 per cent want club captain Harry Maguire to leave after a string of poor defensive displays, while fellow defenders Eric Bailly (72.7 per cent) Aaron Wan-Bissaka (65 per cent), Phil Jones (90 per cent) Victor Lindelof (52 per cent) are also not wanted.
Nemanja Matic has already announced his exit - which will please 94 per cent of supporters. Juan Mata (89.3 per cent), Edinson Cavani (86 per cent) and Jesse Lingard (82.4 per cent) are both out of contract and the consensus is that it's time for the trio to move on.
In terms of loanees, both Andreas Pereira (87 per cent) and Anthony Martial (86 per cent) are not wanted anymore - while there's a bit less demand for academy product Brandon Williams (47.6 per cent) to leave.
Another striking but not exactly surprising outcome of the poll is that 85 per cent want the much-maligned Glazer family to walk away from the club after 17 years as owners.
On the opposite side of things in terms of fan support, Jadon Sancho (93.6 per cent), Bruno Fernandes (90.9 per cent), Anthony Elanga (89.9 per cent), David De Gea (88.3 per cent), Raphael Varane (85.3 per cent), Hannibal Mejbri (79.5 per cent) and Scott McTominay (75 per cent) are the main players supporters hope stay put under Ten Hag's tutelage.
Talisman and leading goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo had 64.1 per cent of fans wanting him to play a second season back at United, with 56.5 per cent happy for confidence-lacking Marcus Rashford to stick around.
