Ruben Amorim issues warning to four Manchester United players who want to leave.
Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia are not on tour with Man United as they are set to leave.
Ruben Amorim is prepared to reintegrate the Manchester United ‘bomb squad’ back into the team if they are not sold.
Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia have been training separately from the first team and are not on the pre-season tour of the United States amid their wish to leave.
United agreed the season-long loan of Marcus Rashford to Barcelona in midweek but are seeking fees for Garnacho, Antony, Sancho and Malacia. Sancho and Malacia are both out of contract next year, Garnacho would represent a pure profit under the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules and Antony excelled on loan at Real Betis last season.
However, Amorim warned potential buyers that United chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox have set a specific valuation for each player that they will not budge on.
“There are different reasons for the players,” Amorim said. “Some players have to find a new place to have more space in the team and other players clearly show they want a new challenge and want new teams. We are just allowing these players to have time to think and to decide.
“If we reach a point where they have to join the team, they will join the team because they are our players. I know for a fact, these people, Omar, Jason and the club, have a number for these players. If they don’t reach that, they will be Manchester United players, no doubt about that.
