The Man Utd fans in the Transfer Tavern are concerned at the prospect of Ander Herrera leaving the club…

Reports from El Gol have suggested that the Spaniard is near certain to leave the club in the January transfer window, much to the surprise of our regular punters.

At moments last season, Herrera looked destined to finally break through at Man Utd, but this season he has gone back to square one.

Jose Mourinho, for some reason, doesn’t seem to trust the Spaniard, and that’s clearly a big problem.

That said, if Herrera leaves, would anyone else follow him? There are a number of other players that could be on the verge of an Old Trafford exit.

With that said, these 2 players could follow Ander Herrera out of Man Utd in January…

Matteo Darmian

Matteo Darmian has shown moments of brilliance, but they have so often been shrouded by very poor spells.

He has done nothing to warrant a place in the Man Utd first team, often being selected out of need rather than want.

An exit has been mooted amongst fans in the Transfer Tavern for a while now, but January could be the time that it finally happens.

He’s a decent player, but he’s not up to Man Utd’s standards.

Anthony Martial

Man Utd won’t want to lose Anthony Martial in January, but could it be feasible?

At present, it certainly looks that way, given that the Frenchman is on the periphery of the first team despite impressing so far this term.

He has scored a number of goals for the club this season, but with Marcus Rashford slightly ahead of him in the pecking order, a starting berth is far from guaranteed.

Mourinho clearly rates him highly, but if a big offer comes in – and there’s no reason why one wouldn’t – then the club will need to think long and hard.
