Manchester United want massive returns on unwanted stars during huge summer clear-out which includes Luke Shaw, Ander Herrera and Chris Smalling

MANCHESTER UNITED are looking for huge returns on their unwanted stars during a mass clear-out this summer.

The Red Devils could axe up to NINE first-team players at the end of the season following a turbulent campaign.

United boss Jose Mourinho has been told by Old Trafford chiefs he will need to raise cash if he wants to rebuild his squad.

It is thought there is around £130m to spend during the transfer window, plus anything else brought in from sales.

And United want big returns on some of their players, including at least £25m for defender Chris Smalling.

The Old Trafford hierarchy also want £14m for Matteo Darmian, the same for Daley Blind, £27m for Ander Herrera and £28m for Luke Shaw.

A United source said: “The club want some big returns for some of the fringe players this summer with a big clear-out planned.

“They want money back for a lot of the players and to make cash on others. Jose is still being told he needs to raise significant funds.

“They are freeing up wiggle room on wages with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marouane Fellaini both out and going out the door.

“There’s about £130m in the kitty before any others fees are recouped, which sounds a lot, but not in the current market.”

His relationship with midfielder Paul Pogba is also at breaking point, with the pair barely on talking terms after a spat.
