Jesse Lingard and Alexis Sanchez set to be part of summer clear-out at Manchester United as Solskjaer plots Jadon Sancho swoop

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to wield the axe at Manchester United this summer, according to reports.

The Red Devils boss is preparing to part ways with up to six fringe players so he can fund the signing of strong additions to his squad ahead of the 2020/21 season.

Lingard and Sanchez could leave Manchester United this summer

The Telegraph claim United will listen to offers for Alexis Sanchez, Jesse Lingard, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and Diogo Dalot.

Sanchez, Rojo and Smalling have been on loan at Inter, Estudiantes and Roma respectively this season.

Meanwhile, Jones, Dalot and Lingard have struggled for first-team minutes under Solskjaer.

Jones has made just eight appearances in another injury-ravaged campaign, while Dalot has appeared 11 times due to the form of £50million signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Smalling has made 32 appearances for Roma this season and he’s expected to join the Italians permanently

Lingard featured heavily in the first half of the season, but has seen his playing time restricted because of the January arrival of Bruno Fernandes.

The Portugal midfielder has scored and assisted eight goals each in just 16 games for his new club.

Smalling has impressed on loan at Roma with the Italian club keen to sign him permanently, while United will be desperate to get rid of Sanchez’s £400,000-a-week wages.
