Manchester United have released goalkeeper Roy Carroll. The 27-year-old Northern Ireland international is one of eight players to be let go by United, with keeping colleague Ricardo also on his way out.
Carroll had regained his first-team place at United by the end of the season and played in the FA Cup final ahead of American Tim Howard.
Ramon Calliste, Ben Collett, Daniel Nardiello, David Poole, Lee Lawrence and Paul Tierney have also been let go.
Carroll joined the Red Devils in July 2001 from Wigan for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of �2.5m.
He went on to make 70 appearances for Sir Alex Ferguson's side and has 16 caps for Northern Ireland.
But he made a number of high-profile errors during the season.
They included fumbling a high shot against Spurs, which bounced out of his arms and well over the line only to be ruled out by a linesman after Carroll scrambled it out of the goalmouth.
