Manchester United will sell in the summer

Poignant SG

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits some players will be leaving the club this summer.

Ferguson feels changes in personnel are inevitable.

"You have to take a decision about where we can improve the team," Ferguson told MUTV.

"When you are challenging for four trophies it can have a draining effect. You have to be aware of that and spot the moment when it is time to freshen up one or two players.

"It is not a desire to do it but you need to do it because the demands and pressures on players can, over time, be quite exacting."

Aiya, at every club players will leave during this point of the season... Be it Chelsea, Liverpool or even Arsenal and Spurs...

For United, it isn't surprising if players like Ben Foster, Anderson will go cos of lack of first team football. Others like Park might go as well, there is a bigger chance of him leaving than the 2 Owens. These 2 won't leave or be sold and I very much doubt Carrick too.

At Chelsea, Deco is a good bet to leave, Ballack, Belletti, Ferreira, Joe Cole will most like go as well... Maybe even Kalou, Carvalho and Ashley Cole too...

At Liverpool, err... where do you start... Just too many could leave. From Torres to Gerrard... Then there are those in between like Riera, Kuyt, Lucas, Benayoun, Ryan Babel, Aquilani, Philipp Degen, Mascherano... Only one not leaving fror sure is Pepe Reina... lol.
