OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER looks set to continue his Manchester United overhaul in 2020, with two transfer windows to work with.
The Norwegian chief has been keen to blood youth, but also rid the Red Devils of any deadwood.
And Man Utd have no fewer than five first-team players out of contract this summer.
Unless Solskjaer offers them a new deal, they will be able to leave the club for free on July 1.
All five are now able to negotiate pre-contract deals with European clubs.
Check out which players could be on the way out in the summer, below…
ERIC BAILLY
THE Ivorian was supposed to be Man Utd’s answer to their defensive problems when he signed for 30million in 2016.
But his time at the club has been severely hampered by injuries and he’s now lost his place in the starting XI to Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof.
Bailly, 25, hasn’t played a single minute for United this season.
United are expected to offer Bailly a new deal but he will have a host of suitors to choose from this month.
ASHLEY YOUNG
THE club captain was handed a one-year extension when his previous deal expired last summer.
At 34-years-old, Young doesn’t quite fit Solskjaer’s new, youth-focused style.
United now have plenty of strength in the full-back ranks with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw backed up by Diogo Dalot and Brandon Williams.
Despite that, the experienced Young has made 18 appearances in all competitions this season, so clearly plays a role thanks to his reliability, if nothing else.
NEMANJA MATIC
OUSTED by Scott McTominay, Matic’s time at Old Trafford is surely coming to an end.
Paul Pogba might end up leaving the club this year, but Matic still shouldn’t be getting a game.
United are desperate to sign another central midfielder, but even now, Brazililan flop Fred is getting the nod over the Serbian in the starting XI more often than not.
At 31, Matic may opt to walk away for nothing to have a final crack at some first-team football.
TIMOTHY FOSU-MENSAH
LIKE Bailly, Fosu-Mensah has failed to play a single minute this season with injuries blighting his progress.
The defender, 22, has struggled to live up to the hype after bursting onto the scene in the 2015-16 season.
After struggling through 12 games for relegated Fulham last season, Fosu-Mensah could now quit Old Trafford for good in a bid to play regularly.
But SunSport exclusively revealed at the end of 2019 the club are set to trigger a one-year contract extension to his 20,000-a-week deal.
LEE GRANT
SIGNED as an emergency back-up in 2018 by Jose Mourinho, Grant was never expected to play much.
But even then, the ex-Stoke stopper has mustered just two appearances, behind David De Gea and Sergio Romero in the pecking order.
At 36-years-old, Grant will surely quit for one final hurrah.
