Man United told to sell five first-team stars and launch overhaul with Marc Guehi deal - Agbonlahor
Gabby Agbonlahor has urged Man United to sell “injury-prone” stars like Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw and kickstart a rebuild by signing Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi.
The former Aston Villa striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, claimed other United stars like Raphael Varane, Casemiro and Tyrell Malacia are also “letting Erik ten Hag down” with their fitness.
Football Insider revealed last week (21 October) that Man United will have to pay at least £60million to get a deal for Guehi over the line in 2024.
It is believed Guehi is unwilling to move clubs in the January window as he wants regular first-team football prior to the European Championships in Germany next year.
Man United have been forced to call on the likes of Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans in recent weeks amid a swathe of defensive injuries.
Ten Hag’s side sit eighth in the Premier League following their 2-1 win over Sheffield United last week (21 October).

Agbonlahor insisted Man United have “got a lot of work to do in the transfer market”.
He told Football Insider’s Ewan Kingsbury: “Guehi is going to be expensive. Palace won’t want to break up that partnership with him and Andersen.
“But I like him. He’s starting for England, he’s getting caps.
“He’s strong, quick, good on the ball.
“But Man United have got a lot of work to do in the transfer market.
“Look at that defence. Varane isn’t the same, he looks like a 35-year-old.
“Casemiro isn’t the same. Martinez is injury-prone. Shaw is injury-prone. Malacia is too.
“United have got a real problem and they need to see that those players will keep letting Ten Hag down with their fitness.
“They need to move them on, and go out and spend money on players who can stay fit.”
