Manchester United is all set to restructure its squad this summer which could mean the axe falls on some of its existing players. One of the most possible names to be axed is Dutch captain Robin Van Persie – he is odds-on to leave according to one online betting offers website.
After Vidic’s announcement on leaving Man U for a fresh challenge, speculations were that persie could be the next skipper. After all, the soccer star is that present captain of Netherlands soccer team and also holds experience of leading Man U arch rival Arsenal.
But a recent article published on Man U website has shattered all such speculations by omitting Persie’s name from the possible Man U captain roster. It is now being said that with Manchester United boss David Moyes prepping up for a series of new signings, Van Persie might be out of the team by the end of summer season.
According to sources, Moyes has planned a grand 200 million pounds for world-class signings as part of their team restructure campaign. With Vidic and Patrice Evra moving out, it’s only natural for the Old Trafford club to look for new stalwarts in their squad. As there is not enough room inside the squad at present for the new signings, there are high chances that Moyes could order a depart for 4 team players.
The other possible names to be excluded are Javier Hernandez and Nani.
Man U is planning to sign in Mario Mandzukic from Bayern Munich & Edinson Cavani from PSG.
