Football.

Manchester United are the most successful side in the history of English football. Under their legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, they won 13 Premier League titles and they were the most dominant team in the Premier League. Not only in England, they were one of the most feared side's in Europe as well.

But since his departure they have really struggled to mount a challenge for the Premier League title and the farthest they reached in the Champions League was the quarter-finals back in 2014.

Though they had their fair share of success with 1 FA Cup,1 League Cup and 1 Europa League. But for a club of United's size and history it is not acceptable.

They have spent millions and millions under new managers for new players. But they are nowhere close to where they used to be. Romelu Lukaku has already revealed that they are likely to again spend big in the transfer market.

If, they spend big in the market they will have to sell some players in order to accommodate their new players and balance thier books.

But since the arrival of Alexis Sanchez things have become complicated for Jose Mourinho, who is having a hard time in managing from his galaxy of attacking options and Martial is suffering as a result.

At the start of the season he was used more as an impact substitute. Recent comments by his agent have further fuelled the speculation that he could leave the Red Devils. His current deals runs until the summer of 2019.

#5 David De Gea

De Gea is frustated at United despite his performances.

David De Gea is considered to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world.He has been consistently performing season after season for the Red Devils. So much so, that in 2016 he become the first player in their history to win Manchester United player of the year award three times.

Over the years he has made some breathtaking reflex saves and saved Manchester United on various occasions. He has not only been a match saver for them but a player who has saved Manchester United's season as well.

It is no wonder that a club like Real Madrid are interested in him and came very close to signing him in 2015. It is believed that he is frustrated with United lack of success on the pitch for the last five years despite his outstanding performances.

United crashed out of the Champions League at the hands of Sevilla in the Round of 16, which has sparked rumours that Real Madrid are back in the hunt for the Spanish international who has been stalling on a new deal.

#4 Marouane Fellaini

Manchester United v Sevilla FC  - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg
Manchester United do not want to give Fellani a contract extension.

Marone Fellani was signed by the Red Devils in the summer of 2013 and many considered it a panic buy. But after 102 appearances for the club it is safe to say that he was a good buy. He has won 1 League Cup, 1 FA Cup and 1 Europa League with the club.

Jose Mourinho has often used him as an impact subsitute. Whenever United needs a goal he comes on and provides more aerial threat and this has worked for the Red Devils many times.

According to reports he could leave United as his contract expires at the end of the season. Though Jose wants the Belgian to stay at United but the club does not want to give him an extension.

But he need not worry as several clubs like Roma, Juventus and Inter Milan are said to be interested in the former Everton midfielder.

#3 Matteo Darmian

Matteo Darmian
Darmian preffered destination is said to be Itlay.

The Italian joined Manchester United in the summer of 2015 as he was expected to give tough competition to Antonio Valencia for a place in the starting line up.

But things haven't gone as per plan for the former Torino full back. He has made just 13 appearances this season under Jose and is likely to move in search of more game time.

At the age of 28 he clearly needs to play more and has shown his potential at Manchester United. He was impressive in his first season in England but only in bits and patches. He has also played as a left back when needed. With Antonio Valencia impressing as a right back, it would be wise for him to seek a move somewhere else.

Italy is said to be his preferred destination ,Inter Milan are intrested in the full back as it was reported that his fiancee has gone to Milan for house hunting.Though Inter are not the only Italian team interested in him, Juventus have also turned their attention towards him.

The former Ajax defender has not started a Premier League game since August and an injury prevented him from featuring in early January.

Though he has consistently given good performances for United in his four year spell with the club, but it seems like the time is right to move for the 27- year- old versitaile defender/midfielder.

Roma are said to be leading the race for the Dutchman, FC Barcelona are also said to be monitoring his situation and he could also be used in a swap deal involving Ajax winger Justin Kluivert.

#1 Luke Shaw

Huddersfield Town v Manchester United - The Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round
Luke Shaw is upset with Jose and wants to move at the end of the season.

Luke Shaw was one of the most promising youngsters of the famous Southampton youth academy and he was expected to be the next big star from there.

But since his move in 2014 he has just managed to make 39 appearances for the club. Long term injuries have also played a big part for such low number of appearances. He did recently sign a contract extension keeping him at the club till July 2019.

There is no doubt that Shaw has plenty of potential and at 22, he can work on his fitness and improve. The left back is said to be upset with his treatment by Jose and will leave the Red Devils in the summer. He was recently substituted at half time against Brighton in the FA Cup and Mourinho publicy criticized the English full back.
