Manchester United are willing to listen to offers for three high-profile stars in January, as Erik ten Hag looks to refine and rebuild his squad amid reports he’s lost half the dressing room at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils banned a string of journalists from Ten Hag’s press conference on Tuesday ahead of United’s 2-1 triumph over Chelsea after it was alleged that the Dutchman had lost the respect of half his dressing room.
Ten Hag’s trusted first team repaid the manager with a winning performance against the Blues at Old Trafford on Wednesday, as Scott McTominay netted twice to fire United into sixth in the Premier League.
According to the Independent, Ten Hag is keen to refine his squad in the January transfer window and listen to offers for three senior players who have fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford this campaign.
The first high-profile star, perhaps unsurprisingly, is Manchester United exile Jadon Sancho, who has been ostracised from the first team group after a tempestuous fallout with Ten Hag.
The former Borussia Dortmund star, who joined the Red Devils for £73million in 2021, hit out at Ten Hag on social media after the manager claimed he was not working hard enough in training, and tensions have since reached boiling point following the winger’s refusal to apologise for dealing with matters publicly.
United are also willing to listen to offers for veteran French defender Raphael Varane, who has also reportedly fallen out with Ten Hag after falling down the pecking order behind Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans.
