Juan Mata could be unceremoniously dumped once again by Jose Mourinho.
It is believed that the Spanish midfielder will be a victim of Manchester United's potential appointment of the Portuguese just as he was when he was cut by Mourinho at Chelsea.
The Daily Mail suggests that Mata will be offloaded if United hire Mourinho as Louis van Gaal's replacement at the end of the season.
The 27-year-old has been a regular fixture under van Gaal this term, starting 22 of United's 25 Premier League matches, but could be on his way out if the Dutchman leaves Old Trafford.
Also on the Red Devils' chopping block is Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini who is likely to leave having made just 10 league starts in 2015/16.
