Manchester United faces fresh turbulence behind the scenes after reports emerged claiming famous players including Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia were handed over to formal transfer requests.
However, according to Athletic, sources close to the players and their representatives moved quickly to fight these claims, claiming that no official request to leave the club had been filed.
The original report suggested that a group of players conveyed their desire to move this summer amid growing uncertainty at Old Trafford under Reuben Amorim.
Reuben Amorim makes major changes at Man United
The arrival of Amorim has already rocked the dressing room, with reports of changes in cleaning to the team and openness to off-road players impressed by the Portuguese manager.
However, the suggestion that so many first-team stars were demanding that they leave aggressively, which surprised them, took both supporters and insiders, and didn’t do well in the players’ camp.
All the players mentioned in the report spent time away from the club last season as United lended them out and sent them. Only Alejandro Garnacho spent the entire season with the club.
The relationship between Amorim and Garnacho has deteriorated as they criticized the manager in the Europa League final and his team’s choice, and the manager informs the players that they don’t need it anymore even in the club.
Rashford and Antony could be offloaded
As for all the other players who spent time on loan last season, Rashford and Antony had impressive spells in Aston Villa and Real Betis, respectively.
Antony is being chased by Real Betis this summer, but Villa has revealed that she is not interested in signing Rashford this summer.
The clubs and players will start their preseason season in just a few days, so they must come quickly to a solution about their future.
Ideally, Amorim can offload everything this summer and raise money for the transfer business.
