Man Utd 'planning summer clear-out with Jesse Lingard and Andreas Pereira first to go'
Jesse Lingard and Andreas Pereira could be the first casualties of a summer clear-out at Man Utd with both players facing the axe.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is making plans for next season and is looking to offload some of his squad to raise funds for other transfers.
Lingard and Pereira have become increasingly less pivotal to their boss, with both midfielders struggling to hold down a regular starting berth.
The Sun report that United are now open to offers for the pair and are happy for them to move on at the end of the season.
Solskjaer plans to reinvest any fees received in buying new talent, with Jack Grealish or James Maddison top of the wishlist.

Neither player will come cheap, and landing one of those targets would spell the end for Lingard and Pereira's hopes of guaranteed playing time.
Lingard is already prepared for the exit door having linked up with Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola.
The England international has been largely sidelined in recent months, particularly since the arrival of Bruno Fernandes in January.

Arsenal are preparing to table a bid for talented Newcastle United youngster Matty Longstaff this summer.
The 20-year-old central midfielder is reportedly set to leave St James’ Park at the end of the season after an impressive campaign has attracted attention from clubs in England and overseas.
Longstaff came through the ranks at Newcastle but is out of contract at the end of June and TEAMtalk report that he wishes to leave the club rather than sign a new deal.
The Gunners will face competition to land Longstaff’s signature, with seven other clubs vying to recruit him.
Fellow Premier League sides Everton and West Ham United are monitoring the situation, while Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, Club Brugge, Inter Milan and Atalanta are all potential suitors from the continent.
Magpies boss Steve Bruce handed Longstaff his Newcastle debut last August in a Carabao Cup match against Leicester City.
He then started his first Premier League match in October, scoring the only goal in a win over Manchester United.
Longstaff has since made six more league appearances, scoring his second top-flight goal against the Red Devils in December.
The versatile player naturally plays in defensive midfield, but can also be played in a more advanced role or on the right.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is thought to be planning a squad overhaul this summer and youngster Longstaff could be a key target as the Spaniard aims to mould the team to his style.
Earlier in March, Bruce opened up on his concerns that Longstaff could leave the club due to influences from the outside, saying: “I’m sure there are people in his ear, so of course the situation is a concern.
“But he knows what I think of him and I keep reminding him how many other 19-year-olds have played in the Premier League this year.
“I speak to him regularly and will continue to do so. He knows how much the club wants him to stay.”

What are the symptoms of coronavirus? The most common symptoms of the coronavirus are: a dry, persistent cough
a fever If you experience these symptoms, you should immediately self-isolate yourself for seven days. It is not necessary to call NHS 111 unless your symptoms get more severe. Some patients have reported fatigue, headaches, shortness of breath and aches and pains. Sneezing is not a symptom of the coronavirus.
A Tesco spokesperson said: “The priority hour is a way to support NHS workers get access to the things they need and to say thank you for all they are doing.
"The overall the feedback has been positive, but we know some stores were still very busy during this time.
"We’re going to continue to offer priority shopping times to NHS workers, and we ask all other customers to help us give NHS workers priority by shopping during the usual Sunday opening hours."
Tesco staff have been giving free flowers to NHS staff to say thank you for their hard work during the crisis.
