Gary Neville has picked out four players where “it wouldn’t be the end of the world” if they left Manchester United in the summer.
The Red Devils have been linked to a host of names already – including Jadon Sancho, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Wilfried Zaha – as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to mould his squad for next season.
The likes of Juan Mata and Ander Herrera with contracts expiring at the end of the current season and no sign of a breakthrough in talks over new deals.
And former United defender Neville says he would be okay with the pair leaving along with Matteo Darmian and Antonio Valencia.
“There’s a lot of players Ole has to make a decision on,” Neville told Sky Sports. “Is it a big loss if Darmian leaves? I don’t think it’s the end of the world.
“Is it a big loss if Antonio Valencia leaves? He’s had problems with injuries, I think United need a new right back. Ashley Young, he’s fine to stay there for another 12 months.
“I think Mata and Herrera are interesting ones in terms of how the club approach that.
“I think they will be players that are wanted by other clubs. For me it wouldn’t be the end of the world if they both left.”
