Manchester United to offload nine players

Germany Captain Bastian Schweinsteiger is one of nine Manchester United players who have been told they can leave the club either permanently or on loan, according to the Daily Mail. 

Bastian Schweinsteiger only moved to Old Trafford last summer but made just 18 Premier League appearances in a season hampered by injury. 

And the 31-year-old has now been informed by Jose Mourinho that he can leave the club this summer. 

Timothy Fosu-Mensah has also been told that he is not in Mourinho’s plans for the upcoming campaign, despite impressing under Louis van Gaal last season. 

Andreas Pereira and James Wilson are available for loan, while Adnan Januzaj, Will Keane, Tyler Blackett and Paddy McNair have also been told they can leave permanently.
