Five Manchester United stars request transfer as pre-season nears
Manchester United are facing a potential shake-up as Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, and Tyrell Malacia have all reportedly told the club they want to leave this summer.
According to multiple sources, the players’ return to Carrington has been pushed back to give them time to resolve their futures. While the rest of the squad is expected to resume pre-season training on Monday, July 7, 2025, these five will have a brief extension while exploring potential transfer opportunities.
Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news via his social media channels on Friday, July 4. If the players are unable to finalize moves during this window, they will return to the training ground with full access to United’s medical and fitness facilities.
In a related development, Mathues Cunha is set to inherit the No. 10 shirt—previously worn by Rashford. Sources close to the club revealed that Rashford’s camp was informed about the decision in advance, signaling a likely departure.
While Rashford has attracted interest from several top clubs across Europe, reports suggest he is particularly interested in a move to Barcelona. However, there’s also speculation linking him to other Premier League sides, though no official agreement has been announced yet.
