Man Utd Transfers: 5 Players Likely To Leave In August

1. Nani

Lastly, he come to Nani, consistently underachieving, constantly frustrating. Like Anderson, the Portuguese winger has had six seasons to prove his worth to the Red Devils and, while he has shown occasional flashed of brilliance, is generally considered a flop. The wideman has only netted 26 times in 133 appearances for United and was limited to just 10 Premier League appearances after sustaining a foot injury. He was also awarded a straight red card in United's crucial second leg, last 16 Champions League encounter with Real Madrid, though his sending off was arguably harsh. Nevertheless it was yet another game where Nani was expected to step up and finally prove himself and he didn't do so - not for the first occasion, either. He has tricks and skills and flair in excess but his final ball lacks the killer instinct and he has to be the worst taker of a corner we've ever seen - hitting the first man almost ceaselessly. Nani is also wasteful - when he wiggles into a good position, instead of passing to a teammate in a better position, he instead ops for pot-shots that threaten to knock out a linesman rather than nestle in the top corner. Of his 13 shots on goal last season, a mere 4 were on target. Nani also created just the two assists last season. And like Anderson, you have to question what - if anything - he is contributing to the team. Like everyone else on this list.
