Dundee United boss Peter Houston has told strikers Francisco Sandaza, Danny Cadamarteri and Jennison Myrie-Williams that they can leave the club. Houston is looking to free up some money to bolster his defence after losing Andy Webster and Lee Wilkie and sees his striking department as the area most open to pruning.

Houston told the Daily Record: "I spoke to the three players and told them if someone comes in for them we wouldn't be difficult to deal with.

"Fran (Sandaza) is at Swansea for a few days to let them have a look at him. He's a quality player but has had fitness problems.

"We've brought players in and renewed contracts which is all money spent without bringing any in."
