Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly ready to sell eight players this summer in order to fund a £100 million move for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, according to the Sun on Sunday.

The Portuguese boss is understood to want to work with a core squad of 22, which puts the futures of a number of Red Devils in doubt as he looks to bring the France international back to Old Trafford this summer.

Marcos Rojo, Morgan Schneiderlin, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Memphis Depay and Juan Mata and five of the individuals who could leave the club after disappointing seasons in 2015/16, with the latter heavily linked with a move to Everton.

Adnan Januzaj and Daley Blind could also go as Mourinho fights to sign Pogba, who would be the fourth addition at Old Trafford this summer following the arrivals of Villarreal defender Eric Bailly, Borussia Dortmund midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan and former PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
