(Video) Did Man United’s Angel Di Maria Call Michael Oliver A ‘Son Of A B****’ After Arsenal Red Card?
The Daily Telegraph suggest as many as six could be on their way out come the end of the current campaign, find out who is being cut below:
Phil Jones
The curious question of why Phil Jones took corners for United earlier this season might be one that plagues supporters for generations to come but it will likely be an event that will have to be shown on video rather than live and in the flesh as the defender is set for the chop if van Gaal gets his way.
Chris Smalling
It appears Louis van Gaal wants a mass clear-out in defence and given the kind of lacklustre defending the Red Devils, particularly Smalling, showed against Arsenal it’s no wonder.
Jonny Evans
At least Jonny Evans can get used to life without Man United as he serves his six match ban for spitting.
But a potential third defender exiting the club suggests van Gaal has a number of defensive targets in mind or perhaps he now even wants to play Wayne Rooney at the back after his recent inexplicable starts in midfield.
Javier Hernandez
Sent on-loan to Real Madrid but it’s never really been understood why given the abject form of Radamel Falcao and the Premier League experience of the Mexican.
But something has rubbed van Gaal up the wrong way and for his sins Hernandez sits an unused substituted on the Madrid bench and will likely be sent packing in the summer.
Rafael Da Silva
Not trusted at all by van Gaal who hasn’t played him in the Premier League since New years Day and whose last run-out was against Yeovil Town in the FA Cup.
It looks as if just a year after his brother exited, Rafael will too be seeking pastures new come the summer.
David De Gea
The Daily Telegraph suggested that Man United are preparing for an eventuality where David De Gea does leave the club in the summer with Real Madrid a continual presences in the background.
The longer he refuses to sign a new deal, the longer the uncertainty over his Old Trafford career will linger.
BONUS! Radamel Falcao
One man who you’d guarantee won’t be at Old Trafford next season is Radamel Falcao whose option to buy will not be exercised.
Well, unless he enjoys playing for the U-21s.
