Manchester United have made it clear to five players that they are not in the plans of coach Ruben Amorim and should stay away from pre-season
Five Manchester United players have been told to delay their return to preseason training, set to begin at Carrington on Monday.
Sources indicate that Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia are all seeking moves away from the club after spending time out on loan last season.
This decision allows them additional time to explore potential transfers, while also keeping them separate from manager Ruben Amorim. Reportedly, Amorim has clashed with Rashford and advised Garnacho to actively pursue a new club.

While these five players will not be joining the initial pre-season sessions, they will still have access to medical and rehabilitation facilities at Carrington. Amorim and the rest of the squad will be embarking on a pre-season tour of the US before the five players are expected back, likely later this month at the earliest.
