ESPN: Ten Hag wants to cut down Man United squad (reliability: 4 stars)

Erik ten Hag wants to see departures in January as he aims to trim down the Old Trafford squad, according to ESPN FC.

With Manchester United out of the Champions League and the EFL Cup, there will be less games to play in the second half of the season.

Jadon Sancho and Donny van de Beek are all but guaranteed to leave in the January transfer window as long as the Dutchman remains in charge at Old Trafford.

Sergio Reguilon could also be sent back to Tottenham after failing to make an impact while the Red Devils are said to be open to listening to potential offers for Anthony Martial.
