Manchester United staged a stunning late comeback to beat Roma 3-2 in the Champions League on Tuesday night, ending a dismal run of games without a win.
The Red Devils fell 2-0 down against their Italian counterparts at Old Trafford, with Matias Soule and Donyell Malen netting for Roma before the break.
Captain Bruno Fernandes then had a penalty saved, but was ordered to retake the spot-kick due to infringement in the penalty area, and smashed the retake into the net.
United trailed heading into the final ten minutes, before Matheus Cunha netted twice to turn the game on its head and put the hosts in front.
The Brazil international was then sent off after being shown two quick yellows, but Michael Carrick’s side held on to end a run of nine games without a victory across all competitions.
In the wake of Tuesday’s victory, it has now emerged that the Manchester club are planning to offload a number of players when the transfer window reopens in the new year.
As per Flashscore, Manchester United are stepping up plans to sell players during the January transfer window, in order to create space in their squad for new signings.

The report suggests that the two transfer windows next year will both be important for the Red Devils, with those in charge of their recruitment keen to add both a striker and a left-back to their ranks.
Lisandro Martinez – who appeared to criticise the United hierarchy in a post-match interview last month – is among those that could be on his way out of Old Trafford next year, the report suggests.
The Argentine was dropped for United following game in the wake of his comments, before being sent off against Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.
It is claimed that United are weighing up which first team stars could be worth cashing in on when the transfer window reopens.
