The remnants of the Louis van Gaal era are finally coming to an end. The Dutch manager may have left Manchester United in 2016 but the decisions he made are still having an impact on the club today.
Academy graduates Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Demetri Mitchell are both expected to be released at the end of the season. Borthwick-Jackson has endured a series of loan spells in the lower leagues, including with Wolves, Leeds United, Scunthorpe United, and Tranmere Rovers and is currently on loan at League Two’s Oldham United.
United have a year extension but are not expected to exercise it. He made 14 appearances under van Gaal and signed a four-year deal in 2016.
