    Telegraph Sport exclusively revealed on Monday that Manchester United are willing to listen to offers for the majority of their first-team players this summer.

    Our report has attracted hundreds of responses from readers, with many calling for include Marcus Rashford among the players sold.< /p>

    Here are five players who have generated most of the conversation.

    Harry Maguire

    Telegraph Sport readers appear to be divided on Maguire's future, with around 57 per cent of those surveyed believing the club should consider selling the England defender. Maguire has responded impressively this season to being stripped of the armband by Erik ten Hag and has earned the manager's trust after coming in from the cold to help tackle United's injury crisis. With Raphael Varane expected to leave when his contract expires at the end of the season, and doubts over the futures of Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans, United have some big decisions to make at the central midfield position. Maguire's lack of pace naturally prevents him from playing in a high line unless he has a fast partner and pace at full-back.

    Mason Mount

    It has been a disappointing first season for Mount at Old Trafford, with his campaign derailed by injury, and 60 per cent of Telegraph Sport readers surveyed believe the England midfielder should stay. Mount has played just seven games for United this season and only four in the Premier League since his £60 million move from Chelsea, and his performances while playing have been disappointing. However, there was a reason why he was also coveted by Arsenal and Liverpool before he made the move to United, and the 25-year-old is a Champions League winner with Chelsea ” – will hope that he can regain full fitness and self-confidence and remind people of his talent.

    About 84 per cent of Telegraph Sport readers polled think United should sell Rashford this summer. United are not actively looking to offload the England striker, but they will seriously consider selling him if any credible offer comes in and the player signals an interest in seeking a new challenge.

    Paris Saint-Germain have been suitors for several seasons, but his hefty price tag coupled with his £325,000-a-week salary means very few clubs can afford him. Rashford has looked disconsolate on the pitch this season and has been reprimanded by Erik ten Hag for his behavior off the pitch, not least a drunken night in Belfast in January after which he declared himself too ill to train and was dropped from the squad. composition of the FA club. The Cup team will face Newport County.

    Mason Greenwood

    Some 65 per cent of Telegraph Sport readers surveyed believe United should try to cash in on Greenwood, who is currently reviving his career on loan at Getafe in Spain, where he has scored 10 goals in 31 appearances. Various clubs across the continent are monitoring developments. The controversial 22-year-old striker appears unlikely to play for United again after the club abandoned plans to reintegrate the player back into their squad last summer following a fierce public and internal backlash. It follows the Crown Prosecution Service announcing in February last year that charges of attempted rape, assault occasioning bodily harm and control and coercion against Greenwood had been dropped after key witnesses recanted and came forward new features.

    Anthony Martial< p>Less than five per cent of Telegraph Sport readers polled think United should keep Martial, who, remarkably, has been at Old Trafford for nine years. United are set to release the injured, consistently inconsistent France striker at the end of the season after deciding not to exercise an option to extend his contract by a further 12 months. His departure will free up more than £200,000 a week in wages accounts.
