Ole Gunnar Solskjaer signalled the start of the second wave of his clear-out at Manchester United yesterday when defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah completed a £1.8m (€2m) move to Bayer Leverkusen.

Fosu-Mensah became the latest casualty when the Netherlands defender joined Leverkusen on a three-and-a-half-year contract.



Nigeria striker Odion Ighalo, an emergency loan signing last February, will leave Old Trafford when his loan expires on January 31.



Despite reports of loan interest from Nice in Jesse Lingard, United have had no contact with the Ligue 1 club and are not pushing the England midfielder out the door this month.

United adopted a similar approach with Facundo Pellistri, another teenage winger signed on deadline day last October.

The 23-year-old made 30 senior appearances for United following his move from Ajax in 2014 but has not survived Solskjaer's latest overhaul.

United are paying an initial £18.2m (€20.4m) for the 18-year-old Ivory Coast winger, who is initially likely to gain experience of English football with the club's U-23s.
