If the right offer comes, if Manchester United decides to keep him at the club, that&#8217;s pretty surprising.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of his quality, he is an unreliable asset and Manchester United will do well to win cash on him. Meanwhile, the defender aims to get his career back on track with regular game time. Given his current options in that area of the pitch, it&#8217;s unlikely he&#8217;ll start every week at Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not a surprise if the 30-year-old decides to move on. He must play regularly at this stage of his career. Sitting on the bench at Manchester United won&#8217;t appeal to him.
