Following reports in Guardian Sport on Thursday evening that Jonny Evans is set to follow Robin van Persie, Nani and Tom Cleverley out of the door at Manchester United, we turn our attentions to five players who could be next in line to face the chop from manager Louis van Gaal before the transfer window slams shut on September 1.
