In what has been far from a vintage season, new Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick will be looking to shuffle things up and build a formidable squad with a strong winning mentality. Although United aren’t particularly renown for being a selling club, the bloated nature of their current squad and the fact that some players are becoming fringe or will have their contracts expire soon could lead to some departures in the next transfer window......READ THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
In view of this, check out four Man United stars that could exit the club in January.
1- Anthony Martial
Since picking up a knee Injury while on International duty in March, Martial has been fighting to rediscover his best form at Manchester United. According to reports, the Frenchman is planning to leave the club in January and United could be forced to cash in on him should they receive a good offer.
2- Edinson Cavani
The return of Cristiano Ronaldo has thrown Cavani’s future at Manchester United in doubt. The Uruguayan was rewarded with a one year contract extension after his brilliant exploits last season, but the presence of the Portugese International has limited his playing time, one that might see him leave the club next month.
3- Paul Pogba
With his contract expiring at the end of the season, Pogba has refused to commit to another thus fuelling speculations that he wants to leave the club. But United would rather cash in on him than lose him for free next summer and a decision will be taken once he returns from his Injury lay-off.
4- Jesse Lingard
For a player who was seen as the next best thing at the Theater of Dreams, Lingard has struggled to get back into the first team on a regular basis since his return from a loan move last summer. This season alone, he has spent more time on the bench than he has on pitch and could well angle for a move away from Old Trafford as early as January in a bid to stake a late claim for England’s World Cup squad in Qatar.
With Ralf Rangnick looking to stamp his authority in the squad, the departures of underperforming players is on the high side this coming month.
