MU liquidates 6 players

Sky Sports reports that MU is preparing for a busy transfer period with up to 6 players on the transfer list.

Ander Herrera will leave on a free transfer. The Spanish player has reached a preliminary agreement to join PSG. Meanwhile, Juan Mata is negotiating with Barcelona representatives. Antonio Valencia is also in the final year of his contract and MU decided not to activate the extension clause with the 33-year-old player. Marcos Rojo has recently been sent back to his homeland Argentina to train with his old team by MU, a move that shows the Red Devils are ready to let this central defender go. Since December last year, Rojo has not been used. The same situation is Matteo Darmian. Having lost his position to Ashley Young and Diogo Dalot, and not playing since January, Darmian is negotiating with a number of Serie A teams to be able to return to play as he wishes.

The 6th player is Alexis Sanchez. His disappointing form with 5 goals in 41 matches is the reason why the club's salary fund is at risk of swelling, Sanchez is the star MU wants to push away. MU's current difficulty is finding a team to buy the Chilean striker.
