According to the , the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Jesse Lingard are two players that the club would be willing to part ways with.
And they will also listen to offers for defenders Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and Diogo Dalot.
Sanchez and Smalling are currently out on loan in Italy at Inter Milan and Roma respectively, with the two Serie A side's believed to want to turn their moves into permanent transfers.
SQUAD GOALS
Lingard and Jones meanwhile are understood to be on the radar of West Ham, with Rojo's agent confirming last week he is set to leave this summer.
Right-back Dalot came to United with great expectations, but due to the arrival of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, the Portuguese youngster is now deemed as surplus to requirements.
He was linked with a switch to Paris Saint-Germain in April as the perfect successor to Thomas Meunier, who has joined Borussia Dortmund.
Solskjaer is known to be desperate to bring his No1 target Jadon Sancho to Old Trafford - who could cost United in excess of £100million.
