Everton have announced today that they will release a former Manchester United captain at the end of the season.
There are only a few players who featured in Manchester United’s 12/13 squad – the last to win the Premier League – who are still prevalent in the Premier League.
Big names, such as Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, and Ryan Giggs, have gone on to retire in the past years.

David de Gea left United in 2023, and now plays his football in Serie A with Fiorentina.
Sam Johnstone and Michael Keane were still making their way into first team football during that season, and are still in the Premier League.

And today, Everton have announced that Ashley Young, a key player of that 12/13 squad, will leave the club at the end of the season.
