A source has confirmed to ESPN that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is ready to listen to offers for Juan Mata and Daley Blind this summer.
Mourinho is making plans to reshape the squad he inherited from Louis van Gaal, and he is now drawing up a list of transfer targets as he looks to assemble a side capable of challenging for the Premier League title next season. That means some players will be moved on.
The source disclosed that the pair are likely to be sold if their valuations are met.
Mata had previously been sold by Mourinho in 2014 to Man. Utd, when Mourinho was still in charge at Chelsea FC; and as such, his future has been the subject of speculation since Mourinho's arrival at United. According to the source, Mata is happy to fight for his place but Mourinho has doubts over how the attacking midfielder will fit into his plans at Old Trafford.
Blind is also in danger of losing his place in the United side, with Mourinho determined to bring in a new central defender to play alongside Chris Smalling next season.
Mourinho will look to make a marquee signing at centre-back. Sources with knowledge of the negotiations say Mourinho would likely revive his interest in Everton's John Stones.
