Manchester United have a huge summer ahead of them where departures might be even more important than arrivals.
There are a number of players in the current Old Trafford squad who might not have a future at Old Trafford going forward.

Ruben Amorim already used the January transfer window to send a few players that he did not count on out on loan. Marcus Rashford clearly seems to have no future at the English club and the same can be said about Antony.
The Brazilian attacker was loaned out to Real Betis in La Liga, where he established himself as one of the best players in the league. Antony showed a new dimension to his game that Old Trafford had never seen before but this might not salvage his future at the club.
Now, as per Give Me Sport, Man Utd are now clear to sign talented Juventus midfield star Douglas Luiz and are willing to offer Antony in exchange. The Brazilian has not had a great time in Italy and a swap could be the best for the two players.
Antony is said to be valued at around £25m, and Luiz is valued at around £34m, and it has already been reported by Corriere dello Sport that Douglas Luiz would be willing to move to Manchester United to continue his career.
Manchester United and Ruben Amorim need an all-round midfielder who is able to add some quality to the squad.
Douglas Luiz would be able to get up and down the field for the entire 90 minutes, thanks to his incredible engine.
Antony on the other hand has performed brilliantly in recent weeks and would have a lot of confidence running through his veins.
That said, it might be best for him to move elsewhere and start his career fresh rather than continuing at Old Trafford.
It remains to be seen if this swap deal has any juice to it and if there is any development on the transfer saga’s front. Luiz would be an excellent addition to the Man Utd squad and let’s wait and see how the club go about it.
