Manchester United want to replace Paul Pogba with Barcelona duo, Solskjaer ready to let six players leave this summer and more Manchester United Transfer News: June 17, 2019

#2 Solskjaer ready to let six players leave this summer

Manchester United v Cardiff City - Premier League

The Express reports that United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is preparing to let as many as six first team players leave this summer, in what is thought to be a massive clear out at the club.

United are linked with a host of players right now, but have only managed one signing so far. Welshman Daniel James made the move to Old Trafford from Swansea City to become Solskjaer's first signing as a United manager.

However, along with the incoming players, there have also been rumours of quite a few high profile exits and now it seems that Solskjaer is not afraid to weld the axe. Antonio Valencia and Ander Herrera have already left, but they will hardly be the last ones out.

Romelu Lukaku does not feature in the Norwegian's plans, so he will be allowed to leave. Anthony Martial is another big name who could depart this summer as well. And Solskjaer has reportedly given up on Pogba too, and is also open to allowing the Frenchman to leave.
