6 players Manchester United need to offload!

Every time Manchester United takes the field, I feel that some of these players need to be sold off, to save further damage, both to the club and the player. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the player is not worthy enough to wear the red jersey but some players doesn’t get accustomed to certain clubs.

1.   Javier Hernandez: Honestly, he is the first player that comes to my mind when I think of underrated players. After a promising and successful first season at United in the 2010-11 season, he is surely not getting enough playing time to prove his worthiness. He needs a move to another club as quickly as possible, just for the sake of his career. It just makes me sad to see him start from the bench every other match.

2.   Tom Cleverly: Well, he was supposed to be the answer to Paul Scholes’ retirement. And after three continuous poor seasons, he is surely not heading the correct path. As an attacking mid-fielder, you are supposed to take the ball forward, with an attacking mentality. But what Cleverly does, is certainly done best by confused and poor defenders. Come next season, I would love to see Nick Powell take up his role.

3.   Nani:  When Cristiano Ronaldo departed from United, his void was supposed to be filled up by his countrymen, Nani. In the years to follow, after Ronaldo’s departure, Nani showed glimpses of Ronaldo’s sheer pace and his on-field skills with the football. But with injuries and bad form, he surely has lost that potential. And with the new manager, I would like to see a young Wilfred Zaha take up his place.

4.     Ashley Young: When he was signed from Aston Villa, it was basically because of his powerful presence at the wing positions. A decent run in his first season of 2011-12, he is one of the players who are handsomely paid for doing nothing on the pitch. With too many wasteful crosses, I really hate his game play. I would definitely love to see this player sold off to some other club and his place permanently taken up by Adnan Januzaj.

5.     Chris Smalling: One thing in my life that I couldn’t figure out is to why would a player like Smalling get to even play football? Barring a few matches, when he defended well, he is often seen wasting possession and losing the ball as easily as writing ABC. I do not know if he ever trains in the proper manner but honestly, a manger like Van Gaal will surely not be happy to watch him play. Better to sell him.

6.   Anders Lindegaard: The only other player apart from Chicaarito, who I hate to see on the bench, is this goal-keeper. Apart from Ferguson’s last match when United threw away a 5-goal lead to end the match on 5-5, Lindegaard has never had a poor match. This player doesn’t deserve to be a second choice goal-keeper at this club. Given a team, which can guarantee him a first place, he needs to make a move on to realize his true potential.
