Manchester United registered a terrific win over Tottenham Hotspurs on Sunday where Ole Gunnar Solskjaer proved his tactical capacity. Under their new caretaker manager, Manchester United are doing quite well. Their playing style has improved as the results are the evidence.
Manchester United have gathered 41 points from 22 Premier League matches as they are still unbeaten under the management of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. They have to face PSG in the Champions League round of 16 while their next FA Cup opponent is a team like Arsenal.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is pretty happy as his team outclassed Tottenham. Manchester United are 5th position on the league table, but the points difference between them and the 3rd placed team is 7 points. So, we could say that there is a chance for the Red Devils to finish this season among the top four teams.
Manchester United could sell a few players to gain some transfer funds which they could use in the next transfer window. Here are three players who could say goodbye to Manchester United in the near future.
#3 Matteo Darmian
Matteo Darmian is one of the underrated players currently playing in Premier League. He could play in both fullback positions as well as the centre-back position.
Darmian signed for Manchester United from Torino in 2015. He has played 58 matches for Manchester United although he has yet to line-up in the Manchester United starting xi under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Darmian has made only 4 appearances this season as Manchester United have fullbacks like Shaw, Young, Valencia and Dalot to cover both positions. So, it is the lack of playtime which could force him to take a decision over his future. It would be a great deal for both the club and the player.
#2 Juan Mata
Juan Mata has been playing in the Premier League for a while now. He could play as an attacking midfielder as well as a right winger. Nowadays, Manchester United has a few attacking midfielders but what they want is a proper fast right winger.
Juan Mata has crossed the age of 30 so his speed is not enough for a prolific winger. He has the experience, but Manchester United should sell him in the next transfer market because there are many teams where Mata could settle himself as a superstar.
Mata joined this Manchester club from Chelsea in 2014. Mata has played more than 150 matches for Red Devils. This season, he has made 14 appearances while he scored 2 goals for his club.
#1 Alexis Sanchez
Last season when Alexis Sanchez signed for the club in the winter transfer window, everybody expected something big from him but he has failed to satisfy his followers. Manchester United have Marcus Rashford, Martial, Lingard, Lukaku for the offensive positions, and Alexis Sanchez has lost his value due to his mediocre performance.
Alexis Sanchez played a tremendous role for his ex-club Arsenal. The Chilean played 122 matches for Arsenal while scored 60 goals for the Gunners. He is one the highest earners for the Red Devils but he has scored only 3 goals for Manchester United from 23 appearances.
Alexis Sanchez was signed for the right wing position. Jose Mourinho tried to launch him in a few different positions, but he failed to do his job every time. It will be a great deal for the club if they sell Alexis. It will help Manchester United to raise their transfer funds.
