8) Nick Powell
Somewhat harshly, young attacking midfielder Nick Powell is listed as another name set for the axe this summer, despite an impressive loan spell with Championship side Wigan Athletic last season. The 20-year-old is one of the most highly regarded young players currently coming through at Old Trafford, and had been tipped to make a breakthrough in the first-team in the near future, despite plenty of competition for places. Still, van Gaal clearly doesn’t see a great deal of potential in the England youth player, and looks set to sell him in this transfer window.
