Manchester United manager Reuben Amorim now hints that the club can surprise fans with unexpected transfer decisions regarding some of the future of Fringe players.
Amorim has removed four players from the US tour team this summer: Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrrell Malacia. All four players are expected to lose their favor at Manchester United and leave the club forever.
Man United Quartet linked to the exit
Garnacho struggled with regular game time last season and he needs to play more frequently.
Sancho was on loan at Chelsea, but they had the option to make the movement permanent. But Bruce opposed it.
As far as Antony is concerned, he was outstanding during his loan at Real Betis, but the Spanish outfit was unable to secure a contract to sign him permanently.
Malacia suffers from injuries issues and he is no longer an important player for the club.
However, the Manchester United managers now claim that the club will sell players only if they receive an appropriate offer that matches their ratings. If that doesn’t happen, the players could continue with the club next season. If Manchester United decides to keep them, it would certainly be a very surprising decision.
Reuben Amorim is ready to welcome the exile
“Players have a variety of reasons (and left),” said Amorim (H/T Miller). “Some players have to find new places to have more space for their teams, others clearly show that they need new challenges and want a new team.
“We just have time to think and decide for these players. If they get to the point they have to join the team, they are our players, so they are our players.
“The fact is that these people, Jason (Wilcox, technical director), Omar (Belada, CEO), and the club have these players. If they don’t get to that, they’ll be Manchester United players.”
They are unlikely to play for Manchester United next season, and their ratings will only drop even further if they are sitting on the club’s bench for another season.
It will be interesting to see how things develop over the next few weeks.
