Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand, had urged current manager Ruben Amorim to offload three players before the January window slams shut.
Clubs are doing business in the winter market and the deadline has been fixed for February 3.
United are believed to be looking to bring in a new left-back as Luke Shaw continues to struggle with fitness.
Amorim will also consider signing a new striker if a suitable deal comes up.
The Red Devils have won just two of their last nine league fixtures and remain in the bottom-half of the Premier League table.
United sit closer to the relegation zone than the Champions League spots.
Ferdinand believes Amorim should get rid Marcus Rashford, Antony and Tyrell Malacia this month, as he continues to mould the squad in his image.
“I think Antony is going. Someone told me he was going to Real Betis or somewhere like that,” Ferdinand said on his YouTube Channel.
“Get them out man! Sorry, I’m just being honest. The more those guys are around… there’s just bad noise.
“They all want to go, they’re all happy to go, so get them out and start afresh. If there’s players around who are unsettled and not happy and it’s not going to plan, it’s like a cancerous, bad energy and it spreads around the changing room.
“It makes things morbid and depressing. It would have been alright if the team was flying because those players just get left behind, but it’s especially bad when you’re not winning.”
