Man United are aiming to significantly improve the situation of their wage bill by bringing down the salaries of many players going forward.
According to ESPN, the Red Devils have given four players a discreet ultimatum about their futures unless they sign new contracts with reduced wages.
The likes of Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Scott McTominay and Victor Lindelof are all moving into the final years of their contracts at Old Trafford.
However, the new hierarchy has made it clear that unless they accept pay-cuts – the four will not be given new deals.
Instead, they could all be sold off in the next year as the club does not want to see them leave as free agents anytime soon.
Maguire and McTominay have been especially solid in recent months, with the centre-back producing admirable performances and the midfielder having scored 10 goals this season.
Wan-Bissaka and Lindelof, meanwhile, are both reportedly attracting attention from other clubs and could be sold unless they agree to the new conditions set by the club.
