#7 Mamadou Sakho (Liverpool)
Sakho’s career trajectory at Liverpool has been weird, to say the least. After falling out of favour under Brendan Rodgers, he cemented his spot in the first team under Jürgen Klopp, putting in some immense performances as they reached the finals of both the Europa League and the League Cup.
However, after testing positive for a fat-burner in a drug test and showing up late for training in Liverpool’s pre-season tour in North America, Klopp has completely frozen out the Frenchman and it seems like his career at Merseyside is well and truly over.

Leicester and West Ham are said to be interested in the Frenchman’s services although a possible return to Ligue 1 with Nice is also being talked about.
#6 Bastian Schweinsteiger (Manchester United)
Legendary German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is another player who has been frozen out by Mourinho. With Mourinho reportedly having stated that Schweinsteiger could buy out his contract, it seems more or less certain the German does not feature in the manager's plans for the season.
However, multiple reports have suggested that the former German captain met Chicago Fire Head Coach, Veljko Paunovic in Manchester in order to discuss a move to the MLS. Schweinsteiger himself though still harbours a hope of playing:
“I’m trying to keep myself fit for the situation in which I am needed. Hopefully, I will be given a chance. I look forward to training every day and being able to train with the team. I don’t know if I will get a chance, but I hope so,” he said.
A move to the MLS might just be perfect for all parties involved.
