Gary Neville identifies four Man Utd players who won't be missed if they leave

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set for a busy summer at Manchester United as he bids to put his own stamp on the squad.

The Red Devils didn't bring in any new faces during the January transfer window but Solskjaer is expected to add four or five players to his ranks in the close season.

Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly, England starlet Jadon Sancho and Crystal Palace's Aaron Wan-Bissaka are among the names on their radar.

However, several players are expected to depart to make room for the new arrivals, with the futures of Juan Mata and Ander Herrera still up in the air as their contracts run down.

Sir Alex Ferguson's advice to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on how to stop Lionel Messi

United legend Gary Neville has named the four players he believes won't be missed if they move on at the end of the season.

He told Sky Sports : "There’s a lot of players Ole has to make a decision on. 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."

Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford is poised to sign a new long-term deal that is worth a staggering £78million.
