Man United have the funds to keep a lot of players on the payroll, including young and fringe players. More games means more minutes, and to be fair with competitions like the Europa League and the Conference League Man United actually have a shot and winning them.

[@Ikunta]

It indeed helped Arsenal by getting rid of deadwood players like Kolasinac, Mustafa, Ozil, Sokratis, Willian and even Aubameyang who were on high wages milking the club without returns on the field. This gave Arteta an ammunition to reorganise the team with young inexperienced but hungry players with no pressure from demanding midweek games. With European competition, there was no way Arsenal were going to cancel those contracts. Now this myopic view from Simon leaves me baffled how a former EPL club owner is so daft not to see change that has been effected by Arteta with youngest squad in the league, this was beneficial to Arsenal due to them not competing in Europe. One wonders how he failed as a club owner - lack of vision.

[@v-gun9735]

Yes, Yes, Yes - this will allow Ten Hag to trim the squad down to the bare minimum and get rid of all the underperforming players without being under pressure to buy lots of players in a short period of time. He can then pick incoming players with more due diligence.
