Manchester United 2024/2025 was very trying. The change of coach (Ruben Amorim succeeded Erik Ten Hag) did not really work. The Red Devils finished in the fifteenth place in the Premier League ranking and were beaten by Tottenham in the Europa League final. Months of real ordeal for a Ruben Amorim that appeared too often helpless. This summer, the Portuguese intends to start again on new bases.
MU File in the US without its unwanted
While waiting to see which transfer window will reserve for him Ineos, the former coach of Sporting Portugal will be able to make an entire preseason and prepare his workforce as he sees fit. A new era which will be fatal with several unwanted elements for Amorim. THE Daily MailTHE Mirror and the Sun Announce all in chorus that four Mancunian players will pay the price. The three English media say that Ruben Amorim decided that Mu will fly away for his tour in the United States without Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho.
On paper, these four names do not surprise anyone. First city, Rashord has not been in Amorim's plans for a long time. Loaned this season to Aston Villa, the English winger was rather effective with the Villans (4 goals, 6 assists in 17 games), but he will not stay in Birmingham. Under contract until 2028, Rashford was courted by Newcastle, FC Barcelona and Inter. Second banished, Antony is in uncertainty. “I don't know what the future has in store for me, only God knows. I have a contract with Manchester United. “ Loaned to Betis, the Brazilian completely revived in Andalusia (5 goals, 2 assists in 17 Liga matches). Linked to the Red Devils until 2027, the former resident of Ajax Amsterdam left Seville, but he hopes that the Verdiblancos will try to recruit him definitively. Problem: MU claims at least € 35 million.
No surprise among banished
Third player named, Jadon Sancho, who was not kept by Chelsea. Loaned to the Blues, the British striker saw the Londoners who did not hesitate to pay a penalty of € 6 million to MU (in order to blow up the compulsory purchase option of € 30 million, editor's note) to put an end to their collaboration (5 goals, 10 assists in 41 matches). Under contract until 2026, Sancho also had many courtiers (Naples, Juventus, Al-Hilal, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Newcastle). Finally, it is not surprising to see Alejandro Garnacho among the banned of Amorim. Under contract until 2028, the Argentinian released a 2024/2025 season more than correct (11 goals, 10 assists in 58 games).
However, his relations with his coach were enamelled by numerous clashes including one last after the C3 final, when Garnacho was publicly surprised at having only played 20 minutes. “Until the final, I played all the laps, I helped the team, but playing 20 minutes today … I don't know.” Erik Ten Hag would be willing to restart it to Bayer Leverkusen. However, MU claims no less than € 80 million for his unwanted. A price not really compatible with its status. Related from the American tour, Rashford, Antony, Sancho and Garnacho received a clear message. It remains to be seen whether these four have folded luggage when Manchester United will come back from his trip to Uncle Sam.
