Ruben Amorim has made it clear that rival clubs should not expect discounted deals for Manchester United players.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has issued a clear warning to clubs hoping to land some of the Red Devils’ sidelined stars at cut-price deals this summer.

Several high-profile players, including Antony, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, and Tyrrell Malacia, have been training separately from the main group at Carrington.

Though Marcus Rashford recently secured a dream move to Barcelona, the rest remain in limbo, with Ruben Amorim sending a strong message about their future.

Real Betis are reportedly still interested in re-signing Antony after his successful loan spell last season. Juventus have shown interest in Jadon Sancho, but need to offload players first. Alejandro Garnacho has also been linked with several clubs.

Ruben Amorim: Manchester United Have Set Firm Valuations

Ruben Amorim revealed that the club's hierarchy, led by technical director Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada, has already established clear price tags for the out-of-favour players. These valuations are non-negotiable.

While no deals are imminent, there is speculation that potential suitors are waiting until the final days of the transfer window, hoping for price drops before the September 1 deadline.

Ruben Amorim, however, insists this will not be the case. He is prepared to reintegrate these players into the squad if their valuations are not met.

"Technical director Jason Wilcox, chief executive Omar Berrada, and the club have a set price for these players," Ruben Amorim stated as quoted by BBC Sport.

"If those prices aren't met, they will remain Manchester United players, no doubt about it."

Ruben Amorim: Manchester United is in No Hurry to Offload Players

Manchester United winger Antony is among players looking to leave the club.

Ruben Amorim further acknowledged that some players need to find new clubs to free up space in the squad, while others are clearly seeking new challenges.

"We're giving these players time to think and decide," Amorim explained. "I understand clubs are waiting until the last minute, but they might be in for a surprise. I'm ready to welcome these players back."

Ruben Amorim Expresses Confidence in Manchester United Current Squad

Despite new signings Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Diego Leon, Manchester United are still looking to bolster their squad with a striker and a holding midfielder.

Even if these additions do not materialise, Ruben Amorim expressed confidence in his current group of players ahead of their season opener against Arsenal.

"If we have to start the season with this squad, I'm happy," he said. "All the players here want to be here, and that's the most important thing for me."

Manchester United have invested almost £130m in forwards Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, hoping they can provide the goals to lift the team from last season's disappointing 15th-place finish.

The move represents a risk for both players, particularly Matheus Cunha, who turned down Champions League football with Tottenham and Arsenal to join Manchester United's rebuilding project.
