Man Utd news: Jose Mourinho wants to sell Daley Blind - Gabriele Marcotti
MANCHESTER UNITED boss Jose Mourinho is keen to free up space in his squad by selling Daley Blind.
Gabriele Marcotti says Man United could sell Daley Blind
That is according to ESPN FC’s European football expert Gabriele Marcotti.
Blind has made just 11 appearances for Manchester United this season, with only four of them coming in the Premier League.
The versatile Dutchman has occupied a number of positions under Mourinho, playing as a centre-back, left-back and in defensive midfield.
But he has seen his opportunities few and far between in recent weeks, featuring just once in November, the 1-0 Champions League loss to Basel.

I think Manchester United would like to see Blind out of there
Marcotti believes with the return of Marcos Rojo from injury, Jose Mourinho will be willing to part company with Blind.
But he says that will not necessarily be in the upcoming January transfer window.
“I think Manchester United would like to see him out of there,” Marcotti said.
“I think they appreciate what he brings and his versatility but the reality is now Rojo’s back, (Victor) Lindelof is in there.

“At some point they’ll get a left-back that they are happy with, it’s not going to be him.
“I think, maybe not January, it could be the end of the season.
“But I don’t think he has a future necessarily at United.”
