Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick could get his wish in the January transfer window as the club prepares to draw up its list of potential targets.
But the interim Red Devils manager has already made clear that the squad at Old Trafford is too large and several stars will need to depart next month.
Decisions are still to be made over five key stars who have been linked with moves away as United will need to make up their minds over whether to keep or sell several players who have been linked with other clubs.
It comes as star man Cristiano Ronaldo reacts to losing two of his records in the space of three days.

Join the debate! Who should Ralf Rangnick sign in January? Let us know in the comments here.
Ronaldo’s stance on legacy
Cristiano Ronaldo has lost two of his incredible records in just a matter of days – although the Manchester United superstar will probably be unfazed.
Two of Ronaldo's goalscoring records fell over the weekend as Robert Lewandowski equalled his record for the most goals scored in a calendar year as the Bayern Munich talisman registering his 69th goal of 2021.
And Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic has also tied with Ronaldo for most league goals in a single Serie A year after netting his 33rd against Sassuolo.
But there is one simple reason the Manchester United forward probably won't mind.
January decisions to be made
Departures are quite simply going to be needed at Old Trafford once the transfer window opens next month.
The United playing squad is stacked full of players who need to be moved on, while some are also pushing for moves themselves after becoming disillusioned with a lack of playing time.
It means Ralf Rangnick faces some big decisions next month regardless of whether he is able to bring in any new faces.
Mirror Football has run through five of the biggest decisions Rangnick will have to make ahead of next month's transfer window.
Rangnick set to get transfer wish
The club appear ready to back their new man in charge and bring in a player to solve the problem midfield position next month.
Former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was reportedly left frustrated with the club's inability to bring in a holing midfielder last summer as they instead opted for the signings of Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo.
But a number of players have now appeared on the United wishlist and they could make moves once the January transfer window next month.
