Manchester United and Chelsea Transfer Gossip: Potential Clearouts and Sales in January

Manchester United and Chelsea could be set for a busy January, with both Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino reportedly ready to ship out several players.

Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Donny van de Beek could all leave Old Trafford next month after being frozen out by ten Hag.

Pochettino, meanwhile, could part ways with a couple of expensive defenders after suggesting Chelsea must spend their way out of trouble this winter, despite investing over £1billion in three transfer windows since Todd Boehly took over. 

Elsewhere, Bayern Munich remain keen on Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha and Aston Villa are monitoring a RB Salzburg midfielder.
