The cull begins at Manchester United as Jose Mourinho offloads two players on free transfers

Thank you, Victor. Short but... pointless.

Jose Mourinho is taking no prisoners. The Manchester United revolution is well and truly underway but there's no future for a certain Mr Valdes. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/690158276550529024 The former Barcelona goalkeeper's Old Trafford nightmare dream of sitting on his arse and getting paid shit-loads for it is finally over as he's been released on a free transfer along with Nick Powell. Valdes signed a contract with United in January 2015, he played two games for the club - one as a sub - and now he's off into the sunset. Nick Powell, meanwhile, the great white hope, the next big thing, is now a free agent too. The 22-year-old managed 65 minutes for Hull in their promotion-winning Championship campaign while on loan at the club and, despite being signed by United for a reported £6m back in 2012, he has followed Valdes out the exit door after being released by the club - as reported by the Manchester Evening News. It comes in light of Mourinho already signing Ivory Coast centre half Eric Bailly and, now, there are more links. He wants a good team in place. No more dead wood. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/741247813602922496
