5 players who should leave Manchester United in January

Fabio

Fabio has failed to nail down a place at Manchester United

The Brazilian arrived at Manchester United in 2007 along with his twin brother Rafael but has not achieved the heights of his sibling at the Old Trafford club. The 23-year-old has made just 9 appearances for the first team in his entire career and has failed to displace Patrice Evra as United’s first choice left back. The Brazilian was loaned out to QPR last season but did not do enough to convince David Moyes that he is good enough for the first team. Fabio already has competition in the form of Alexander Buttner for the left back spot and the chance of first team football with the Red Devils seems slim. Manchester United manager David Moyes has already set his sights on acquiring a new left back with Leighton Baines and Luke Shaw on the Scots radar. Fabio should leave Manchester United when he can as his country is hosting the World Cup this year and only first team players have any hope of making it into the first team.

Bebe

Bebe has been a flop at Manchester United

Sir Alex Ferguson shockingly payed £7.4 million for the forward in 2010 without even seeing him play and payed for his mistake when Bebe turned out to be one of the biggest flops of the decade. The Portuguese striker made just 7 appearances for Manchester United’s first team before being sent out on loan to various clubs where he failed to impress. Frankly speaking Bebe has become an eyesore for United fans and it would be best to offload him this winter in order to generate funds for buying new talent which will help the club win trophies.

Alexander Buttner

Buttner has not proven that he is capable of playing the first team

The Dutchman arrived at Old Trafford in the summer of 2012 and seemed to make an immediate impact when he scored a goal on his debut against Wigan but it now seems that was just a lucky goal by a one time wonder. The 24-year-old has put in some unimpressive performances this season along with being caught out of position on a number of occasions. Stats say that Buttner completed just 2 of his 25 crosses this season- an extremely troublesome figure. Moyes’s relentless pursuit of Baines and Shaw does not help Buttner’s case at United. A host of clubs are interested in taking the left back on loan and it would be best for Manchester United if the loan deal is made permanent next season.

Nani

Nani has had a mixed career at Manchester United

It is safe to say that David Moyes made a mistake when he chose to hand Nani a five-year contract at the start of the season. Nani, without doubt, possesses some incredible talent and can be unplayable on some occasions but is one of United’s most inconsistent players. The winger made just a handful of appearances for Manchester United last season in which he gave a disastrous performance. The 27-year-old has attracted interest from Italian giants Juventus and should move there for a fresh start in his career. Nani is simply standing in the way of the talented Wilfried Zaha and should be sold in order to give Zaha a chance to prove his magic.

Anderson

Anderson does not have what it takes to play at Manchester United

The Brazilian was bought by the Red Devils in 2007 for a fee of around £20 million after being touted as the next big thing to come out of Brazil. A few years later it can be safely said that the man who was compared to Ronaldinho is one of Manchester United’s biggest duds in recent times. The 25-year-old has failed to blossom into the player he was supposed to be but is still young and has a chance of prospering elsewhere. The midfielder has appeared for United just thrice this season under David Moyes who is clearly not impressed with the midfielder. Manchester United are currently crying out for some creativity in the midfield and it is almost certain that Anderson will be sold in order to make way for better players.
