Six Manchester United players odds-on to leave before the end of the transfer window | OneFootball

Manchester United could be set for a major clear-out before the end of the transfer window, with plenty of deadwood still taking up space in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad and eating into the wage bill.

While many Man Utd fans will be desperate to see new faces coming in before the October 5 deadline, it’s surely also important for the club to offload the players they don’t need in order to balance the books.

There are plenty of names who spring to mind as being among those who could make way, with Ladbrokes currently stating that they have as many as six they believe are odds-on to be heading out of Old Trafford in the next few days.
