Five Man United players who have asked to leave club given specific order by Ruben Amorim
Manchester United’s quintet of wantaway players have been told the feeling is mutual with a training ground snub. Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho have been asked to report to training only once the rest of the team have left the facilities. Rashford is among five players who are keen to leave UnitedGetty talkSPORT earlier reported that the five players had informed the club of their desire to leave, wishes that have been granted. United gave the group extra time off to find a new club during the summer break, but with their cases unresolved, they’ve had to take further action. The Athletic claim that they’ve been allowed to use the club’s Carrington training ground, but only once their teammates have vacated it. More specifically, that means they can’t arrive until after 5pm this week before the team begin their pre-season tour. They will still have access to medical and rehabilitation facilities, as well as remote support. Academy produced Rashford, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, has taken up the offer in order to keep himself fit. The quintet have also been asked to attend training at the weekend when the rest of the team will be in Stockholm for a friendly against Leeds. The five players have all informed the club of their wishes to depart Old Trafford this summer, but some of them would have been happy to train with their teammates. Yet Amorim is clearly laying down the law following a dire first nine months as Man United manager. The two-time Primeira Liga winner with Sporting has had to deal with off field issues and minority owner Jim Ratcliffe’s decision making becoming increasingly unpopular. Amorim’s rebuild will be hampered until high earners out the doorGetty Yet he hasn’t helped himself, stubbornly sticking to his 3-5-2 system that returned serial losers Sporting to the top of Portuguese football. He hasn’t had the squad to repeat those heroics, but two weeks into the summer transfer window things haven’t changed much, with just Matheus Cunha signed from Wolves for £62.5million. The delays in departures may also be complicating matters, with all five wantaway players likely to fetch decent fees. Rashford will be the most notable departure having been at the club since the age of seven. He’s made 426 appearances for Man United, scoring 138 goals. The 27-year-old, who joined Aston Villa on loan in February, does not have a future at Red Devils under head coach Ruben Amorim. Despite wanting to leave, Man United sources say Rashford will still remain as a significant part of their recent history.
