Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag has reportedly identified 11 players he wants the club to sell in order to raise money for summer transfer targets.

United are expected to back Ten Hag significantly in terms of new signings after a successful debut season in the Premier League.

According to The Mirror, ten Hag is keen to make new signings this summer in a bid to strengthen his squad in preparation for next season.

However, he is equally aware he must trim his current squad to accommodate the players he wants to add to his team.

11 players to be sold?

Reports claim that the former Ajax boss has since drawn up an 11-member transfer list of players he is keen to offload in the coming weeks in order to raise over £100 million in transfer fees to help transform his squad.

Long-serving defenders, Axel Tuanzebe and Phil Jones have already quit Man United after the expiry of their deals, while goalkeeper, David de Gea is likely to depart as well.

Dean Henderson has also been touted to seal a permanent transfer, with United expected to recoup around £25million in a transfer fee from the English shot-stopper.

As reported by Manchester Evening News, the duo of Alex Telles and Eric Bailly, who spent last season on loan at Sevilla and Marseille respectively, are viewed as the 'must-sells' by boss ten Hag.

The same applies to Brandon Williams, who managed just one substitute appearance last season, having fallen down the pecking order following the signing of Tyrell Malacia.

United are also understood to be willing to listen to offers of £10 million for academy graduate, Anthony Elanga and Hannibal Mejbri.

The trio of Harry Maguire, Donny van de Beek, and Anthony Martial is also not safe, with the three among the most high-profile United players who could be shipped out this summer.
