Smith ushers Atangana towards Tannadice exit (07.04.2002)
Former Cameroon international Mvondo Atangana has become the 33rd player to be shown the door at Tannadice by manager Alex Smith.
"Mvondo leaves with my best wishes. He simply did not figure in the scheme of things," Smith said.
The United board told Smith he had to drastically cut the size of his squad and although the manager brought a flurry of new
players in when he first arrived to help the club avoid relegation, in recent weeks he has been wielding the axe.
David Hannah, Jamie Buchan and Jamie Fullarton have all been told in the past month that their contracts will not be renewed in the summer, while there are doubts about futures of Alan Combe, Hugh Davidson and David Partridge, who are all currently out on loan.
