In the $k$-Leaf Out-Branching and $k$-Internal Out-Branching problems we are given a directed graph $D$ with a designated root $r$ and a nonnegative integer $k$. The question is to determine the existence of an outbranching rooted at $r$ that has at least $k$ leaves, or at least $k$ internal vertices, respectively. Both these problems were intensively studied from the points of view of parameterized complexity and kernelization, and in particular for both of them kernels with $O(k^2)$ vertices are known on general graphs. In this work we show that $k$-Leaf Out-Branching admits a kernel with $O(k)$ vertices on $\mathcal{H}$-minor-free graphs, for any fixed family of graphs $\mathcal{H}$, whereas $k$-Internal Out-Branching admits a kernel with $O(k)$ vertices on any graph class of bounded expansion.
