The number that I've heard is 79 B757 retirements on the UAL side. Many are old, many have corrosion problems, all have de-rated engines (I think), the wing box of some won't support winglets, can't go ETOPS (I've heard this is due to the single x-feed), ... They are to be replaced by the B737-900.
