5 players who should be offloaded by Manchester United next season

Alexis Sanchez has failed to live up to his enormous wages and is running out of time at Old Trafford.

#3 Matteo Darmian

Matteo Darmian joined Manchester United in 2015 from Torino for a sum of about £12.7m, but since then he has failed to make any meaningful contribution to the Manchester United cause.

Primarily a full-back, the 29-year-old has been deployed across the entirety of United’s backline, essentially being a jack of all trades but a master of none.

The Italian international fared fairly well in his debut season, making 28 appearances in the Premier League and 39 in all competitions, but since then his figures have been dropping at an alarming rate with no signs of improvement.

His second season saw him make 18 PL appearances and 29 in all competitions, while that dropped to eight and 17 matches in the PL and all competitions respectively last season.

So far this campaign, he has made just five appearances in the Premier League (mostly coming on as a substitute), while he does not appear to be in Solksjaer’s plans.

Darmian has been a bit-part player making sporadic appearances for the entirety of his United career and considering that this is the final year of his contract, it is hard to argue a case for United extending it.
