Man Utd Transfers: 5 Big Names Moyes Is In Danger Of Losing In The Summer

4. Rio Ferdinand

Veteran defender Rio Ferdinand is another player who finds himself at the end of his contract in the summer. Despite a magnificent career with United, Ferdinand has struggled with his fitness over the past few seasons. Having formed a solid partnership with fellow centre-back Vidic over the years, injuries have seen Ferdinand appearing less frequently for United. Despite being a firm favourite with the faithful at Old Trafford, the amount of time spent on the injury list and his age are all counting against him remaining with United next season. With younger players such as Jonny Evans and Phil Jones being able to fill the void as well, more doubts have been cast over the future of Ferdinand. However, recent injury problems for both Jones and Evans have raised the issue that Moyes is lacking cover for his central defenders. And, although he was heavily courted by Manchester City on deadline day of the January window, Eliaquim Managala could be a wise signing should Ferdinand leave this summer.
