MANCHESTER UNITED boss Ralf Rangnick is set to axe Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial in January, according to reports.

It comes after suggestions the trio are 'killing the mood' in the Old Trafford dressing room.

Anthony Martial has already told Rangnick he wants to quit.

Pogba is out of contract in the summer and report the duo, along with Cavani, have too much influence in the dressing room in Rangnick's eyes.

As a result, the German will reportedly try to move them on this month.

Martial could be heading for Spain with a potential loan to Sevilla being hammered out.

Pogba has been out with a hamstring injury but is still said to have been impacting squad members.

And the three are not the only ones who could be on the move.

Donny van de Beek has never settled since joining from boyhood club Ajax back in September 2020.
