Wes Brown is the first victim of Alex Ferguson's summer Manchester United make-over following a bust-up with the Reds boss.
The long-serving defender has been told to find a new club in the wake of a row with Ferguson.
Brown, 31, fell out with the United manager over a lack of action and has not featured for his hometown club since being subbed at half-time in the 1-0 defeat of Bolton on March 19.
He found himself behind Fabio, Rafael and John O'Shea in the pecking order for a right back spot in the final weeks of the season.
The demotion was a blow for Brown, who quit international football in August to concentrate on his career at Old Trafford.
Brown, who made his United debut as an 18-year-old in 1998, has never managed to fulfil his potential at United as a succession of injuries limited his availability.
He seemed to finally have made the breakthrough in the 2008 Champions League-winning season, when he made over 50 appearances and played in the final win over Chelsea, but he has since been usurped.
The defender is likely to be a target for Everton and Sunderland, who have shown interest in him in the past.
