3. Ander Herrera

It’s time that we face facts. Ander Herrera is just an average Premier League player. He shows tantalizing talent upon occasion, but he lacks the consistency to really thrive at a club on United’s level.

There’s some argument that he should be kept due to his versatility, but United can afford to buy top-notch substitutes at every spot on the pitch. There’s just no room for this jack of all trades, master of none at Old Trafford.

It’s worth mentioning that he has started one game, and appeared as a sub on one occasion already under Mourinho. It would be unfair to say that he’s been frozen out of the squad already. I just think things are clearly headed in that direction.

Herrera just isn’t good enough to be on the pitch with midfielders as talented as Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial. That’s why he’s going to find a club more commensurate with his level in January.

Next: 2. Morgan Schneiderlin
