JOSE MOURINHO has warned his Manchester United stars that nobody is safe during this month’s transfer window.
He says he will listen to offers for any of them — and if the price is right they can go.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Marouane Fellaini are two whose Old Trafford careers could be in jeopardy.
The United boss has his eyes on a collection of top targets including Arsenal attacking pair Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil — plus Tottenham full-back Danny Rose and Ryan Sessegnon of Fulham.
But he is also willing to look at ditching some of his squad’s biggest names — disgruntled that by the time United host Stoke tomorrow they could be 18 points behind leaders Manchester City.
Mourinho said: “My approach to players is that every player has a price. It doesn’t matter who he is. It doesn’t matter the level.
“It doesn’t matter the prestige, or the status. “I think every player has a price.
“And I am not the kind of blind manager.
“Blind in the sense that this player is untouchable, this can never be sold.
“So when the transfer window is open it’s also open for any club that is interested in our players. “Then it’s up to us to make the decision yes or no. It’s up to us to make the right price.”
Fellaini has refused to sign a new contract and will be free this summer. He is wanted by Besiktas, who are willing to pay £8million.
But David Moyes, the man who brought him to Old Trafford for £27.5m four years ago, wants to take him to West Ham. Luke Shaw, Matteo Darmian, Daley Blind, Anthony Martial and Ashley Young are also in the firing line.
Mkhitaryan has been linked with a move back to Dortmund but his boss did offer him some hope.
Mourinho said: “Mkhitaryan played the last match and probably will play the next one.
“He’s our player, a very good player. So tomorrow training, Sunday selected and Monday play.”
