Transfer: Solskjaer tells Manchester United board to sell 14 players

Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has given the board a 12-month window to clear out up to 14 players who are now deemed surplus to requirement, the UK Sun reports.

Solskjaer is ready to rip up his squad, after the Red Devils finished the previous campaign in poor form and failed to achieve Champions League qualification.

The Norwegian has identified which players are no longer in his plans and has started to plan a transfer rebuild for the summer of 2020 and beyond.

Ander Herrera and Antonio Valencia have already departed the club, while defensive duo Matteo Darmian and Marcos Rojo are likely to follow.

Ashley Young is expected to remain until next summer, before being ushered through the door.

United are ready to listen to offers for striker Romelu Lukaku, who has fallen behind Marcus Rashford in the pecking order under Solskjaer.

Another point of contention for United is the uncertain future of Alexis Sanchez, who has failed dramatically since his high-profile move from Arsenal.

Youngsters James Wilson, 23, and Regan Poole, 20, are set to be released by after their contracts expire.
