Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is planning to dump several big names this summer - including Robin van Persie. The Daily Express says United will back the Dutchman with the same amount of funds as they did last year even if he fails to secure a Champions League place.

And Van Gaal is ready to overhaul his squad with Radamel Falcao, Van Persie, Juan Mata and Rafael Da Silva all facing the exit door.

Van Persie has struggled with injuries and at 31 could be moved on despite his close relationship with Van Gaal from their time together with Holland.
