Carrick, Rooney and Fellaini. Valdes is a given.
Sure they all have something to offer in one way or another but if we continue to squeeze them in to the team they are only going to hold back any sort of progression/improvement or new era at the club. That is particularly true for Carrick and Rooney who have failed miserably to provide consistency, leadership or carry through any of the winning mentality and culture/standards that previously existed at the club. Fellaini is like a blunt pair of scissors, they'll do a job of sorts but the result will never look particularly pleasing.
There are a fair few other players that I would get rid of if they weren't happy being squad/back-up players. I'm very dubious about Rojo and Darmian considering they are established international players and Jones is only fit every second full moon (even though I don't think he is as bad as some make out when he is fit).
Really surprised about the amount wanting Young out. He is no world beater but he is one of the few that have stepped up during the LVG era and provides a solid if somewhat unspectacular squad option in a variety of positions. Valencia is much the same but less versatile and a more than satisfactory back-up RB.
