JOSE MOURINHO is ready to axe EIGHT of his Manchester United flops in the next two transfer windows, according to reports.
The Special One has failed to set Old Trafford alight after spending nearly £146million in the summer.
United are without a win in four Premier League matches and suffered a humiliating 2-1 defeat to Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday.
World-record signing Paul Pogba, forgotten man Henrikh Mkhitaryan and misfiring striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic are yet to convince fans that things are on the up after three dismal seasons at the Theatre of Dreams.
But The Telegraph claims Mourinho will continue to drastically reshape United’s squad in a bid to challenge for silverware over the coming years.
Bastian Schweinsteiger, Morgan Schneiderlin and Michael Carrick will be sent packing in a bid to freshen up the midfield, with Memphis Depay and Ashley Young also heading for the backdoor.
Phil Jones will be cut loose after his latest injury setback, with Marcos Rojo and Matteo Darmian deemed not good enough to Mourinho’s defence too.
Meanwhile, captain Wayne Rooney’s future will be under the spotlight as he approaches the final 18 months of his contract.
The report adds United are unlikely to trigger the one-year extension in his deal, withMarouane Fellaini also fighting to earn fresh terms.
