So mata and Herrera look to be off. Pereira contract is up in the summer.
Leaves us a bit short in midfield.
Mctominay and matic will most likely rotate. That leaves just pogba and fred.
Maybe were letting mata and Herrera along with Valencia. Rojo. Dalot. Bailly? Go to free up the wages to get Dave to re sign.
Either way this summer is going to be massive for recruitment.
{Ed002's Note - Pogba?}

We will lose pogba for sure
I know people will slate me for this but I don't think it'll end up well appointing ole. He's not the right man to put a stamp down and keep players to help us build.
Players like jones smalling and young, mediocre players are getting new contracts whilst players like Herrera who is one of our unsung heroes is leaving on a free. Mata also leaving on a free and with his best two mates leaving, I also expect to see David de gea leave this year.
That's de gea pogba Herrera mata, 3 of our starting 11 and a good back up and we will end up replacing them with more mediocrity. The club is a joke.

Oh ed april fools was yesterday ;)
But if an offer comes in for pogba that the club can't refuse. but I can't see anyone offering the kind of money being sprouted.
Unless another swap is on the cards.
Although I still think he will be here for another season at least (I hope) .
I know it's been done to death ed but is pogba still keen on leaving or has this changed since ole has come in.
{Ed002's Note - I have explained the situation exactly as I understand it to be for months but everyone has ignored it. Try searching because it is tedious doing the same thing over oand over.}

As much as Pogba is our best outfield player (when he can be arsed), I'd have no issue with him leaving. He has been wanting out for well over a year now and in his time here he has shown he has the ability to be the best midfielder in the world, however, he has also shown the ability to look like one of the most overrated players in the world.
If the rumours of bids of £125m plus are true we should snap the hand off of the team offering that. That sort of money would help massively with the rebuild we will need over the summer. There's also talk over players plus cash from Real but the Ed has said United have no interest in players in a deal and even if we were that would probably mean Bale which isn't what we need.
Rojo, Darmian, Bailly, Jones, De Gea, Mata, Herrera and Pereira, as well as maybe others could all leave. So we could well start next season with a squad that is inferior to our current one unless we invest heavily and in the right players.

Ole cannot be blamed if Pogba wants to go. If he does want to leave (and I hope he doesn't), then there is nothing that we can do expect drive a hard bargain. When players have that dream of Barcelona or Real Madrid, sometimes there is nothing you can do about it. Certainly not Ole's fault.

Just hope the club get a good deal and don't get walked over by madrid or end up taking players madrid want to get rid of in exchange.

Ole isn't responsible for giving players extensions
And if pogba does go then he goes but the recruitment has to be spot on.
Were being linked to coutinho but not for the price they want I wouodnt.
