With the English Premier League season over, teams are beginning to look at which players they want to get and which players they want to get rid of.

Manchester United is at the top of the rumor list, with a lot of names floating around in relation to the club. No one is officially gone yet, but there is sure to be a lot of coming and going at Old Trafford this summer.

The team fell just short of the Premier League title last season, and they will want to improve going into next year. However, in order to bring players in, some will have to go.

Here are five players who are rumored to be leaving Manchester United.

1. Paul Pogba

It appears that Paul Pogba is certain to leave Old Trafford this summer.

Rumor and speculation has surrounded the midfielder for some time, fueled by information from his agent Mino Raiola. It looked like Juventus and Chelsea were both interested, but Juventus won the bid.

According to the Daily Mail: "Midfielder Paul Pogba, 19, will sign a four-year deal at Juventus on 1 July after deciding against signing a new contract with Manchester United."

Pogba has yet to really do much in his young career, playing in just three games this year. However, the 19-year-old has shown signs of promise, and Juventus will be happy to get him.

2. Dimitar Berbatov

Dimitar Berbatov is rumored to be sought after by many teams, including Liverpool, Lazio, Galatasaray and most recently Paris Saint-Germain.

According to The Sun: "Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov, 31, is keen on a summer move to big-spending French side Paris Saint-Germain."

Berbatov started just five games last season, and made seven appearances overall. Despite this, he still managed to score seven goals on the year.

Manchester United seems to be fine with his departure, whether it is Paris Saint-Germain that gets him or someone else.

3. Fabio da Silva

Fabio da Silva is another young player that is rumored to be leaving Manchester United.

At just 21 years old, Fabio has a lot of potential. However, he played in just three games for United last year, so other teams are looking to get him. Meanwhile, United have made no real effort to make sure he stays.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Fabio was set to go to Benfica on loan in April. However, a month later, The Sun reported that the move broke down and that other clubs were interested:

"The loan switch of Fabio da Silva, 21, to Benfica has hit a snag — with QPR keen to step in to land the Manchester United defender."

Whether he goes to Benfica, QPR or somewhere else, it would appear that Fabio is not going to be at Old Trafford next season.

4. Ji-Sung Park

Ji-Sung Park played in 17 games this season, and had two goals and an assist. With that being said, the 31-year-old is likely on the move.

Park has played in over 100 international games for South Korea, but hasn't played nearly as much for United.

According to Goal.com several teams have shown interest in Park, specifically Atletico Madrid. With younger talent working its way up the ranks, United would be willing to part with Park for the right price.

5. Anderson

Anderson scored two goals and added one assist in 10 games this season. The 24-year-old has played well, and it looks like he is highly sought-after as well.

According to Caught Offside, United and Spanish outfit Valencia were interested in making a deal which would send Anderson to the Mestalla in return for Jordi Alba. However, that seems to have died down.

Meanwhile, according to Goal.com: "Inter and AC Milan are ready to battle it out for the signature of Manchester United midfielder Anderson."

United would be fine with letting the two teams get into a bidding war for Anderson, as it would seem that they are willing to part with him.
