Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has reportedly told United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to sell three unused players in order to fund a move for a new centre-back.
The Red Devils did not their boost defence throughout the mid year transfer window, yet they have probably focused on Sevilla’s Jules Kounde for 2021.
Notwithstanding, the Frenchman is required to order a £60m charge, with United improbable to fork out such a figure useless players on the outskirts can be proceeded onward first.
As a result, The Mirror claims that Woodward has told Solskjaer to do away with three out-of-favour players at Old Trafford before their pursuit of Kounde can gather pace.
The report claims that Sergio Romero and Marcos Rojo are expected to head for the exit door within the next 24 hours, and while Phil Jones is unlikely to leave before Monday’s deadline, he will probably call time on his Man United career in the summer.
Kounde has supposedly emerged as the Red Devils’ priority defensive target, but Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus are all believed to be in the hunt for his signature as well.
