Jose Mourinho is preparing to wave goodbye to two centre-backs this January, with Manchester United looking to balance the books ahead of a move for a top defender.
United's failure to bring in a new central defender over the summer led to months of tension between Mourinho and the board, with moves for Harry Maguire, Toby Alderweireld and Milan Skriniar all falling through.
The Telegraph report that Eric Bailly and Marcos Rojo will be heading out the door if United can find buyers for them, but the club are struggling to offload a third player who appears surplus to requirements as things stand.
