Powell and Valdes released by United

Nick Powell and Victor Valdes are the two first-team players who have been released by Manchester United this summer.

Powell made two substitute appearances under Louis van Gaal last season, coming off the bench against Wolfsburg and Bournemouth in December, before joining Hull City on loan. The 22-year-old signed for United from Crewe Alexandra in 2012 and scored on his debut against Wigan Athletic.

Valdes arrived as a free agent last January and made his bow when replacing injured no.1 David De Gea during the 1-1 draw with Arsenal in May 2015. He kept his place for the goalless draw at Hull in the final game of the season. The 34-year-old had a spell on loan at Standard Liege last term, helping the team win the Belgian Cup. 

Another goalkeeper, George Dorrington, and attacking midfielder Oliver Rathbone, have already found new clubs. Dorrington signed for Huddersfield Town following a successful trial and will be part of their Under-21 squad. Rathbone has joined Rochdale in League One on a free transfer.
