Chris Smalling and Matteo Darmian look set to leave Manchester Unitedafter Jose Mourinho has lost patience with the pair, according to reports intheSun.
Darmian has been out-of favour for much of the season and has long been linked with a move away from Old Trafford after Antonio Valencia has established himself as the first choice right back under Mourinho.

Chris Smalling meanwhile has struggled to build on his impressive form from last year and was publicly criticised by Mourinho several weeks ago.
