Jose Mourinho prepares to overhaul his Manchester United squad next summer with Anthony Martial and Luke Shaw leading mass exodus of stars

As Jose Mourinho criticized his star men excluding Nemanja Matic at the weekend, it appears that the end is near for most of the Red Devils players.

According to Daily Mail, the Portuguese manager is already fed up with most of his players and he is ready to sell them and use their transfer fees to fund a new spending spree.

The former Chelsea and FC Porto boss has spent over $400 million as the manager of Manchester United, but he does not appear to be satisfied with what his players are delivering and he would cut out every dead wood when the next transfer window rolls by.

Among the star men to be axed are Anthony Martial and Luke Shaw with the latter failing to impress Mourinho since he took over at Old Trafford.

Daley Blind and Matteo Darmian have rarely featured for the club under Mourinho and this season appears to be their last at the Europa League holders.

Mourinho is targeting the Premier League title next season and he wants only top quality players who can deliver that.
