Manchester United to offload first-team trio this summer?

By Matt Law, Football Editor | 01 February 2019

Defensive trio Antonio Valencia, Marcos Rojo and Matteo Darmian will all leave Manchester United this summer, according to a report.

Defensive trio Antonio Valencia, Marcos Rojo and Matteo Darmian will all reportedly leave Manchester United at the end of the season.

January proved to be a quiet month for United in the transfer market, although Marouane Fellaini left the Red Devils in the latter stages of the window for the Chinese Super League.

Valencia - out of contract this summer - was linked with moves to both Fulham and Newcastle United, but reportedly turned down the chance to leave.

The 33-year-old will depart United on a free transfer at the end of the season, according to the Manchester Evening News, while the Red Devils will also look to offload Darmian and Rojo.

Darmian is also out of contract at the end of the season, and the 29-year-old has been strongly linked with a return to Serie A.

Rojo, meanwhile, has a contract with United until the summer of 2021, but the 28-year-old has only made two Premier League appearances for the club this season due to injury.

United will look to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they travel to Leicester City on Sunday afternoon.
