"It's a joke," said Erik ten Hag when asked if Manchester United are planning to sell the entire squad.
Lately, speculation has rife about Sir Jim Ratcliffe offloading the majority of players, except for the likes of Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho.
"As long as I've worked here, every summer, every window, I think 200 players are getting interest from Man United," lamented the boss.
"We did some research. Untrue.
"And also every summer we sell all of the players in our squad, so you [the media] are making all of the headlines, which is untrue.
"I think be calm and also take some responsibility when you make such a headline.
"Think, find a good source if there is some truth in it and this is totally crap."
There is no argument against the fact that Man United desperately need a squad overhaul to ensure adequate cover in all areas.
It's not feasible to sell nearly the entire squad in one season. Considering this will be Ratcliffe's first summer in charge, reeling in expectations would be key.
