ERIK TEN HAG is ready to axe “must-sell” defenders Eric Bailly and Alex Telles this summer.
The Manchester United pair have not reported for pre-season training ahead of their potential exits from Old Trafford.
Both Bailly and Telles have been labelled “must-sells” by the club as Ten Hag overhauls his defence.
In addition, the Manchester Evening News now report that they have yet to return for pre-season.
That is despite the United squad flying out to the USA after Wednesday’s friendly against Lyon.
Bailly and Telles will not be part of the tour squad that will face Arsenal, Wrexham, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund during the trip.

However, there is currently no concrete interest from any specific clubs in signing him.
As for Telles, who won the Europa League on loan at Sevilla last term, he is a target for Al-Nassr.
