Even Man Utd’s players think squad needs revamp… but fear it could take FOUR transfer windows to sort out
MANCHESTER UNITED’S players reportedly agree that the squad needs a revamp – but fear it could take two years to make them title contenders again.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to have a huge summer clear-out at Old Trafford in a desperate bid to get the Reds back on track.
United have lost seven of their last ten games in all competitions and their dream of a top-four finish is looking unlikely.
According to The Times, some of Solskjaer’s players agree that they are in need of a complete overhaul.
But some believe it could take four transfer markets for the squad to form a team that can challenge for the league title.
United are slumped at sixth in the table – a whopping 27 points behind league leaders Manchester City.
Solskjaer’s men have two top-flight games left to play, but he has already started planning for the 2019/20 campaign.
Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Antonio Valencia are set to be the first stars to leave the club on June 30.
Ashley Young could also be a shock casualty of the clear-out – just two months after he signed a new deal.
Romelu Lukaku has admitted he could leave this summer as he revealed his desire to play in Italy’s Serie A.
Marcos Rojo, Matteo Darmian and Alexis Sanchez could also be offloaded after failing to impress this season.
It is reported that Inter Milan could swoop for former Arsenal star Sanchez – who has scored just two goals this season.

United’s board are expected to back the Norwegian boss with significant funds to bolster his squad after the clear-out.
Solskjaer will allegedly aim to bring five fresh faces including a forward, a right-back, at least one centre-back and two midfielders.
But following David De Gea’s shocking spell of form, Jose Mourinho’s replacement could be forced to sign another goalkeeper.
