Under-pressure Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho wants eight of his first-team footballers out over the next two transfer windows.

Scholes’ old club were beaten again under Mourinho on Thursday, losing 2-1 to Fenerbahce in the Europa League.
A hard week was compounded as United wilted at the imposing Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, where Moussa Sow scored a sensational overhead kick before Jeremain Lens scored an outstanding second-half free-kick.
Attack: Zlatan Ibrahimovic is set for a recall to the starting eleven after being left out against Fenerbahce which could result in Wayne Rooney dropping back to the bench despite scoring a superb goal last night. The defeat has now pushed Man United to third in Group A with 6 points. “They were playing the Champions League final, we were playing a summer friendly”. I’m sure of that, because of the way we played against Burnley. The main thing of course is that the players and staff pull the team out of this slump.
The Red Devils awful form in all competitions see’s them now sitting in 3rd place in group A and 8th place in the Premier League.
“Football is not just about quality, it’s also about effort, commitment, it’s about playing to the limits, giving everything”. But give them a little credit…football is not a f****** science’. They start at 100 miles per hour, we start really slow. It is hard to play a game of this difficulty with two left-backs playing in central defence. “This makes it tough to cope with the physicality of the game”, the United manager said.
“At 2-0, the players had a reaction but I think we don’t deserved it”.
“I think Pogba above all is a great person – he’s a good friend and I experienced great times with him at Juventus”, Llorente told Swansea’s official site.

He said that United were also lacking proper structure in defense, with Chris Smalling and Eric Bailly both absent, but he added: “It is our fault that we let them be in front”.
