Manchester United manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer says more player can leave the club this January transfer window as he stated that some offers cannot be said no to.
The Reds academy graduate Timothy Fosu-Mensah sealed a move to the German club Bayern Leverkusen on Wednesday and the United boss has hinted that the club’s defender Marcos Rojo and goal keeper Sergio Romero are available for transfer as their contracts are not extended.
He further stated that additional out goings this January will depend on the offer of other clubs to United that cannot be refused.
“You can’t really say no because, in football, things just crop up,” Solskjaer told club media, when asked if anyone would be leaving, whether on loan or on a permanent basis.”
“There are opportunities that we can’t really say no to and, if it’s the best for the club and the player, then it’s something we’ll look at.”
“At the moment I can’t update you on any of them, I don’t really know where any negotiations are [up to].”
So notable players have left the club in the January as players like Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Marouane Fellaini and Ashley Young have all left the Reds in each of the last three January transfer window.
Fosu-Mensah is the latest first-teamer to depart midway through the season, a decision Solskjaer says was made in order to give the 23-year-old an opportunity to play more football.
“We wish Tim all the best – six-and-a-half years I think he was here,” Ole added.”
“He’s an exciting talent and he’s got the attributes, but he needs to play.”
“When he gets regular game-time I think we’ll see him for Holland and we’ll see how good a player he is.”
Meanwhile, Ethan Laird left to join MK Dons on loan last week and could make his first senior league appearance against Peterborough United on Saturday, after shining at Burnley in the Emirates FA Cup.
