Sir Jim Ratcliffe plans Man Utd fire sale as Antony exit stance confirmed
Manchester United have endured a tricky January transfer window so far.
The Red Devils are yet to make an addition to Erik ten Hag's side despite there being some stark gaps in the squad. A striker is the most obvious addition for United heading into the second half of the campaign and there are a few options they could move for.
Elsewhere, there could also be more exits before the window slams shut, whether that be on loan or permanently. Here, we take a look at all of the latest rumours coming out of Old Trafford over the past 24 hours.
Ratcliffe plots fire sale
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has already made sweeping changes at Old Trafford since agreeing to buy a minority stake in United from the Glazers for £1.3billion, a deal that still needs to be ratified by the Premier League. More could follow as part of a £100m fire sale.
Academy graduate Mason Greenwood is among those who could be jettisoned. He has been linked with a sensational switch to Barcelona during his loan spell with fellow Spanish side Getafe.

Antony exit disputed by agent
On the topic of sales, the agent of Brazilian winger Antony has confirmed the former Ajax winger is not focusing on a move away for the time being. Speaking to United In Focus, Junior Pedroso said: "Manchester has so far not communicated any interest in transferring him in either the January or summer window.
"Antony is focused on these four months of the season so he can improve his performance, knowing that he needs to score goals and assists. This is his focus. Today our head is on Manchester United.
"He knows very well that he needs to score, there’s no point in just playing good games, he has to score goals and provide assists. He is very coherent about this. He will come back different, his head has become a little key and certainly in these four months he will show much more than he showed this season."
Man Utd 'on alert' over Wilson
United could potentially make a bargain move for Newcastle striker Callum Wilson over the closing days of the transfer window. According to the Evening Standard, the Red Devils are on alert after being told of his potential availability.
It is suggested that Wilson could be sold by Newcastle for around £18m, with the Magpies needing to sell players to comply with Premier League spending rules. However, Ten Hag's side could face competition if they make a move.
It is suggested that both Arsenal and Chelsea are also interested in Wilson, with the London pair both needing attacking additions.
