Manchester United will need to offload some stars in January

The transfer rumor mill is already churning with reports of which stars Manchester United will try to sign in January. If Jose Mourinho’s club are going to bring in big-time talent, they’re going to need to sell some stars to make room for the new additions.

It’s not as if Mourinho is opposed to selling big names either. There aren’t many names on the United squad list that should consider themselves safe with The Special One. Even the most accomplished international stars can fall out of favor with the fickle manager.

As a result, it’s only natural to speculate on who United might be willing to part with come January. Note, that I’m only going to discuss players who have a chance to make an impact with the club in this piece. In other words, I’m not going to list Bastian Schweinsteiger because it’s obvious he has no future at Old Trafford.

Some of the other names might surprise you though. Read on to discover five Manchester United stars who may be jettisoned in January.

Next: 5. Memphis Depay
