da betobet: It has been a tiresome three years for Manchester United. Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired after an incomparable career, the two managers to grace the touchline at Old Trafford have failed to reignite the flame that burned brightly for 25 years at the Theatre of Dreams.
da apostebet: However, the arrival of Jose Mourinho has filled United fans with optimism once again. The Portuguese tactician looks set to overhaul a squad that has disappointed tremendously over recent campaigns, and that means excitement is guaranteed.
With the most recognisable manager in the world now in the hot seat, United look set to attract the very elite once more, as they look to claim back a Premier League trophy that has been far out of reach since the ‘Fergie’ era ended.
We take a look at which THREE players look most likely to leave Old Trafford and the THREE new faces most likely to arrive.
IN- Zlatan Ibrahimovic
While most media sources have confirmed that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be heading to Old Trafford this summer, the saga still rumbles on as the Swede continues to remain focused on EURO 2016 with Sweden before making any decision on his future.
However, it looks as though one of the world elites will be joining Manchester United for at least a season. This is a big statement from Jose Mourinho as he looks to improve on a squad that has underperformed significantly over the last three years.
OUT – Juan Mata
Possibly one of the only men in the Manchester United squad disappointed with arrival of Jose Mourinho, Juan Mata’s time at Old Trafford could be heading for an abrupt end.
Despite having won Chelsea’s Player of the Year award for two consecutive seasons prior to Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge, the Portuguese manager swiftly axed the Spaniard.
Clearly, Mourinho does not believe that Mata fits into his favoured systems, so expect the 28-year-old to depart Manchester this summer.
IN – Henrikh Mkhitaryan
Recent reports have suggested that Manchester United have joined Arsenal in the race to sign Dortmund midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
The Armenian is blessed with electric pace and an eye for goal; he and man Pierre Emerick Aubameyang formed a lethal partnership in the Bundesliga last season.
This transfer may rest on whether Dortmund find suitable replacement for their host of departing players.
OUT – Daley Blind
Another potential casualty of the incoming era of Mourinho, reports have surfaced suggesting that Daley Blind will be surplus to requirements next season.
Despite producing some stellar defensive performances last season, the Dutchman seemingly does not have a place in the new set-up at United, especially with the arrival of £30m defender Eric Bailly.

IN – Nemanja Matic
On the back of an incredibly underwhelming season for Nemanja Matic at Chelsea, former boss Jose Mourinho looks set to hand the Serb a fresh start at Old Trafford.
Matic would be the perfect addition to the United squad. Mourinho always employs a defensive midfielder in his system, with this man playing an integral part of the team structure. With United lacking quality at this position, Matic could find himself a key man at the Theatre of Dreams.

OUT – Matteo Darmian
Recent reports have surfaced from Italy suggesting that Matteo Darmian will be heading for the exit door at Old Trafford this summer.
The Italian struggled to establish himself in the first team and never looked comfortable against the elite Premier League forwards.
Darmian may be used as part of a swap deal should Mourinho look to the Italian league to find the next world class addition to the United squad.
