Bastian Schweinsteiger – Sell:
The world cup winning German midfielder is one of the most experienced and decorated players in the world. However, he was frozen out of the first-team by Mourinho at Old Trafford this season and is desperate to offload him in January. His wages are a hindrance for clubs who would like to take him to their club so Mourinho is reportedly ready to pay up to £12m to terminate his contract in January. Selling him in January will reduce the wage burden on the club and if it means that they have to pay a part of the wages should not stop them from doing so. It is clear that Schweinsteiger is not in the plans of the manager so this is a move that is set to happen for sure in January.
Matteo Darmian – Sell:
The Italian defender was a Louis van Gaal buy but he has just not been able to impress the new manager at Old Trafford. Though he started the last two games for the club, he is far from being a first choice and there is hardly any doubt that Mourinho will spend on a defender in January. This leaves Darmian with no place in the squad after the turn of the season. At his age, the Italian will have to play regularly to keep himself in shape and if continues to be on the fringes of a team, he may completely ruin his career. He should stay only if given assurances about his place in the squad and if Mourinho is unable to do so, it might be best for both parties to move their separate ways this January.
