Jose Mourinho's Man United clear-out: Two stars set for summer exit
JUAN MATA and Daley Blind will be the first casualties of Jose Mourinho's Manchester United clear-out.
Are Juan Mata and Daley Blind waving goodbye to Man United?
The Portuguese was given a tour of United's Carrington training ground and is already making decisions over the make-up of his squad.
And according to Sky Sports, Mourinho is willing to let the duo leave this summer.
The news will come as a blow to Mata, who was sold by Mourinho to United when he was Chelsea in 2014 for £33.5m.
The Spanaird was a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge but Mourinho's concerns over his defensive capabilities saw him let the 28-year-old go.

While Blind was a supporter of Louis van Gaal and voiced his disappointment at his exit.

Blind has formed a partnership with Chris Smalling at centre-back and his versatility allowed him to cover in a number of positions.
