Four of those on the way out are currently out on loan with Man United hopeful that permanent moves will be secured next summer.

An £18m permanent move to the Bernabeu has been written into the loan deal and Man United will hope Carlo Ancelotti chooses to exercise the option.

Tom Cleverley is enjoying the taste of regular first team action at Aston Villa and Man United will demand around £8m for the move to the Midlands outfit to be made permanent though a lot could well depend on the ongoing situation under current owner Randy Lerner, with some sources claiming that American is looking to sell the club.
