Manchester United 'planning a drastic cull of SEVEN first-team stars in the January transfer window' - with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 'thinking of selling Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard and Donny van de Beek to raise funds'

Manchester United are reportedly planning a drastic cull of their squad in the January transfer window, with seven players understood to be on the chopping block.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is said to be keen on trimming his squad to raise transfer funds, with several first-team stars at risk of being sold.

According to the Sun, Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard, Donny van de Beek, Phil Jones, Eric Bailly, Diogo Dalot and Alex Telles could all go.

Anthony Martial is one of seven stars Manchester United are said to be willing to sell in January

None of those players are first-team regulars in the side, so selling them would not necessarily weaken the starting team, or even the wider squad, if they were replaced.
