Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking on Sunday evening has thrown up rumours galore over who could become Manchester United’s new manager. Many out-of-favour stars will be pleasantly surprised at the Norwegian’s exit as they look for game time, although some of his favourites will be ruing the decision to sack him. Express Sport takes a look at four of Solskjaer’s favourites who could be sold.

Fred

Fred’s career at United has been spent almost entirely under Solskjaer since his £47million move from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2018.

Having signed a five-year deal upon his arrival, the Brazilian has divided opinion at United.

This season however, he has come under intense scrutiny over his performances – with many United fans itching for their club to sign a replacement for him.

And with Mauricio Pochettino or Erik ten Hag likely to prefer players of another profile, Fred could be sold to fund a move for others.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Wan-Bissaka burst onto the Premier League scene at Crystal Palace in February 2018, despite being thrust into action at the age of just 20.

The following season, he won the title of Player of the Year and burst into the England under-21 side as a result.

Solskjaer’s transfer team signed the highly-coveted youngster for a fee of £45million, and his defensive prowess came to light.

However, his poor attacking capabilities have been highlighted in a side as good as United’s, who require a more attacking full-back if they are to improve their attacking output.

And with the defender having produced less than desirable performances recently, he could be annexed.

Victor Lindelof

Lindelof has been a mainstay in United’s side ever since Solskjaer took over at Old Trafford.

Having missed just 15 league games since the start of the 2019-20 season, he has formed a long-term partnership with Harry Maguire.

Whether or not the said partnership has been successful is subjective, although it has left United trophyless in Solskjaer’s reign.

And with youngster Axel Tuanzebe in line for a return, Lindelof could be sold to fund a move to a world-class centre-back.

Nemanja Matic

Another midfielder who has featured prominently under Solskjaer, Matic could well be sold off to make room for another midfielder in January.

The midfielder has made over 50 Premier League appearances under Solskjaer, alongside a handful in other competitions.

Yet at the age of 33, he has lost his mobility and needs to be replaced if the club are serious about progressing.

And with Donny van de Beek, Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba all ahead of him in the pecking order, vital funds will be secured should he be sold.
