Fabrizio Romano reports Van de Beek is eyeing an exit in January, with the 24-year-old playing just six minutes of Premier League football this season.
Meanwhile, Nemanja Matic has impressed when featuring this term, but, aged 33, he is undoubtedly in his twilight years.
Solskjaer has publically stated his admiration for Fred and McTominay, and whilst he’s at the club, Pogba is indispensable.
A realistic outcome would be for Van de Beek to depart in January, earning United a healthy sum to help replace him at the end of the season.
