We want to leave - Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho and two others inform Man United of decision

Stephen Oladehinde 09:25 - 05.07.2025

Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia have informed Manchester United's management of their desire to leave the club this summer.

Rashford spent the latter half of the season on loan at Aston Villa, but the Birmingham club declined to activate his buy-out clause.

The situation is similar for Sancho and Malacia, who were at Chelsea and PSV Eindhoven, respectively. Neither team opted to make the transfers permanent.

Garnacho reportedly clashed with manager Ruben Amorim after the Europa League final defeat, and reports subsequently emerged suggesting he is not in the manager's plans.

Old Trafford has therefore granted the five players permission to return later in July, giving them the opportunity to explore their options.

Reports indicate that medical and rehabilitation facilities will remain available to each player should they choose to return and resume training. However, they will not begin pre-season training with the main squad, which is scheduled to commence on Monday, July 7th.

Manager Ruben Amorim wants to avoid unnecessary tension within the main group and has therefore approved this decision. Further highlighting the rift between Manchester United and Marcus Rashford is the reassignment of the number 10 shirt.

Previously worn by Rashford, it was officially announced today that new signing Matheus Cunha will inherit the number.
