So in order to free up the funds and create a space in his squad to move for Van de Beek, or potentially Havertz instead it is claimed that Solskjaer is willing to sell Brazilian midfielder Pereira for £25m.
The Belgian-born 24-year-old was becoming a more prominent member of the current United set-up this season, making 23 Premier League appearances.

The Daily Mirror claims claim Newcastle, Everton and West Ham are all understood to be interested in him.
