Five Man Utd stars who could leave the club in January

Erik ten Hag could see five Manchester United players leave in the January transfer window, as the Dutchman looks to rejuvenate his squad.

The Old Trafford club have been tipped to bring in a number of players next month to redress the gap in the squad left by Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure in particular.

Here are five players likely to depart Old Trafford before the start of February.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

The full-back was a regular at Old Trafford but lost his place to Diogo Dalot at the end of the last term. This season the 25-year-old has managed just four minutes of first-team football and is likely to move on to pastures new in January.

Facundo Pellistri

Facundo Pellistri is in the strange position of being a World Cup starter for Uruguay but completely ignored at United. The 20-year-old has made zero first-team appearances since his £9million move from Penarol in October 2020.

Having spent time on loan at Alaves on two occasions since arriving in England, it is likely he will leave United on a temporary basis once more in January.

Donny van de Beek

After a failed loan spell at Everton, ten Hag’s arrival at United renewed hope that van de Beek could come good at Old Trafford. However, having struggled to impress this term United will look to sell the star.

Teden Mengi

Having previously impressed on loan at Birmingham City and Derby County, Teden Mengi was reportedly set to leave United on a temporary basis again in January.

While the centre-back sustained an injury against Real Betis in a friendly earlier this month, the setback isn’t thought to be as serious as first feared and may not prevent Mengi from making a January move.

Di’Shon Bernard

Having made his senior debut in 2019 Bernard is in desperate need of first-team football this term and is expected to move to the Championship or possibly abroad.
