Mourinho reveals the ONE Man Utd player to be loaned out

The likes of Memphis Depay and Morgan Schneiderlin have been linked with January exits but it seems they will not be able to depart on temporary deals.

Jose Mourinho has revealed that Sam Johnstone will be the only first-team player he will allow to leave the club on loan in January.

The likes of Memphis Depay and Morgan Schneiderlin have both been tipped to quit Old Trafford when the winter transfer window opens having fallen out of favour.

Anthony Martial's agent, meanwhile, has talked up the possibility of a loan switch to Sevilla, where he would be expected to get more gametime than he's being offered under Mourinho.

But it appears the trio will only be able to leave if a club comes in with a permanent offer and not on temporary deals, with the likes of Everton and West Brom having been linked with Depay and Schneiderlin.

"Sam Johnstone is the only player that I allow to go on loan," Mourinho told reporters ahead of Saturday's clash with Middlesbrough.

"He hasn't played one minute and he needs to play. We have a young keeper in Joel [Pereira], he played many minutes in last six months in Primeira Liga, so now is time for Sam to play six months."
