According to The Times, and several other media outlets, Alexis Sanchez will be allowed to leave United if the club can find someone to take the Chilean off their hands.
Sanchez was signed from Arsenal in January 2018 to great fanfare, as part of a swap deal that took Henrikh Mkhitaryan to the Emirates. However, the move has not worked out.
Sanchez, who is reportedly the highest-paid player in the Premier League, has scored just five goals in 41 games.
Juan Mata and Ander Herrera could follow him out the exit door. Both are out of contract at the end of the season, and neither are reportedly close to signing new deals. Antonio Valencia will leave United in the summer when his contract expires, 10 years after he joined the club from Wigan Athletic. Matteo Darmian and Marcos Rojo are also available for transfer.

According to reports, the club also want to make several signings as Solskjaer seeks to put his own shape on the squad. They are understood to be looking to recruit a right back, a central defender, two midfielders and a forward.

As is Callum Hudson-Odoi (18), the Chelsea winger who has attracted interested from Bayern Munich. Hudson-Odoi has 14 months left on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
Solskjaer is also reportedly interested in Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez, who is said to be keen on a move to England. While the club are keeping an eye on Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane and Benfica forward Joao Felix.
