#2 Juan Mata

Man United signed Juan Mata in the 2014 January transfer window for a reported £37.1 million, making him their most expensive player at that time. The Spaniard has won three trophies during his time at Old Trafford.

The attacking midfielder's loss of sharpness and his injury issues have reduced him to a sporadic role this season. Mata's agreement ends this summer, and his wage demands have stalled the extension talks.

With United's rebuild at the fore, allowing the Spanish playmaker leave Old Trafford would be a wise option. The Red Devils could replace Juan Mata with players like Hakim Ziyech or Bruno Fernandes.


#1 Alexis Sanchez

Alexis Sanchez will go down as one of the most expensive flops ever. The Chilean's titanic weekly wage makes him one of the highest paid players in the Premier League.

United allocated their coveted number 7 shirt to the 30-year-old, but the Chilean has failed to deliver as expected. Alexis' prolific three and a half year spell at Arsenal has taken its toll on his body, and a series of niggling injuries indicates that.

Sanchez is eager to put an end to his disenchanting stay at Old Trafford, seeking a move away from Manchester United. Alexis' prospect of departure is a win-win situation for both parties as he could rediscover his touch elsewhere, and United will invest the money saved from his wages on other players.
