Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson plans to clearout no less than ten senior players this summer.
The Guardian says the most successful manager in the game still sees himself as being in the job on a long-term basis and has told United that only his health will prevent him from working.
Instead the manager is going to break up his squad in what promises to be a summer of change at Old Trafford, with up to 10 players on their way out.
The Glazer family have told Ferguson that he will be given substantial funds with which to purchase replacements.
Senior players who could leave include Tomasz Kuszczak, Wes Brown, Gabriel Obertan, Bébé and Darron Gibson.
