It seems Nani is close to agreeing a £10m move to Juventus. I would imagine Young would sell for a similar amount. Hernandez for around £15m. Anderson perhaps £5m. Who else could go this summer? Will Kagawa go or will he be retained for one more season? I think Kiko could join Leicester, Wigan or Burnley. Someone like that. Bebe will be sold. Cleverley is wanted by Everton if reports are to be believed. Seems he could be following Gibson in the same fashion. With Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic & Giggs leaving there will be a lot of space in the squad and on the wage bill.
So there's probably a good £50m worth of outgoings this summer if the likely outgoings are sold.
Cleverley I think will actually fit into a 4-3-3 so will probably be retained. I'd keep him over Fellaini anyway. Can you see Fellaini going?
Fresh, I cannot see Fellaini being sold this summer, perhaps the summer after? I think Cleverley fits too, but he is slowly being forced out by the fans just like Gibson was. I think it is also effecting his performances and I don't think he's strong enough mentally to deal with it. I think if we sign say Kroos and Carvalho and Kagawa stays, which is possible. I am not sure there is a need for Cleverley, especially when there are midfielders in the U21's that can do a job. But more importantly I think fans have made it unbearable for him now at MU and he may choose to leave.
I just can't see Anderson being sold. He has been awful in Italy, and I can't think of any club foolish enough to pay him anywhere near what we currently do. I'm also a bit concerned that we haven't heard anything about Young being sold.

If your right Sydney perhaps we could loan the £50 million to the Bitters to pay their fine.
Danny, I think MU will accept lower amounts than they usually would due to the massive spend that awaits us. Young is a decent player for a club like West Ham or QPR (if promoted). Anderson I'm sure would fetch around £5m. He's still a good age. AVB seems to be a fan of his, perhaps a move to Zenit in the summer?
I'd sell Kagawa only to Dortmund if we get Reus/Hummels in return. Otherwise we are better off keeping him.
Up to 17 players could be available I think. If anything our team would be stronger for it as we would replace apt of the dross with youth players. Lindegaard, Amos, Ferdinand, Vermijl, Buttner, Fletcher, Cleverley, Fellaini, Young, Nani, Valencia, Kagawa, Zaha, Kagawa, Anderson, Bebe, Macheda and Hernandez. I think all of them have their price.
Honestly Cleverley might be the right type of player for the 433 system and he might play better than he has before but he's still a very boring, unimaginative player that lacks decent ball skills, he has to go!
Fellaini will stay one more season I reckon.
Like you said Sydney, depending on the players we sign I would hope Kagawa stays, I think he could be a better player than Mata in the 10 position if he had a decent defensive and creative player behind him.
As for Anderson I heard he's got a dream move to Nandos, where he'll have a key role taking the cooked chicken from the oven.
I think there is zero chance of Fellaini Kagawa Valencia Cleverley Young etc going until LvG or next manager comes in, I think we'll be lucky to get a cup o'sugar fro Nani and Anderson
Syd I believe a more pertanent question would be. If anyone wants them.
So you think we will sell these players and bring in possibly less, that makes sense!
Some of those players we will keep as we can use them as squad players.
We need to add quality, no have less players in total.
We don't need as many players as we have now.
Without any European football we will not need such a large squad, ideal time to allow fringe players to leave and use more of the youth team for league cup and as cover.
Don't forget welbeck heard we might get 10p for him from arsenal
(hope so I will drive him there for free)
{Ed002's Note - It is difficult to say right now. Previously Mangala and either Ginter or Hinteregger would have been the ideal centre backs but all three are looking like they are heading elsewhere.
