Rashford, Sancho, Garnacho, and Others Dropped from Manchester United Preseason Squad
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has made a bold statement ahead of the new season by excluding six players from his preseason squad — with five of them reportedly on the transfer list.
According to football transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the following players have been left out of the squad headed for the club’s summer tour:
Marcus Rashford
Jadon Sancho
Alejandro Garnacho
Antony
Tyrell Malacia
Harry Maguire (absent for personal reasons)
Romano stated:
“Sancho, Garnacho, Antony and Malacia all up for sale. Maguire is also not with the team but only due to personal reasons, he will be back soon.”
💣 Shockwaves at Old Trafford
The exclusion of Rashford and Garnacho — two of United’s brightest academy graduates — will surprise many fans. Rashford, once the poster boy for the club, now appears to be heading for the exit door. Garnacho’s absence is even more surprising, given his breakthrough season last year and growing popularity among supporters.
Jadon Sancho has long been linked with a move away due to his rift with previous manager Erik ten Hag, while Antony’s underwhelming performances and Malacia’s injury woes have only increased speculation about their future.
✍️ Opinion: Amorim’s Ruthless Rebuild Begins
This signals the start of Amorim’s clear-out and cultural reset. United’s new era under the Portuguese manager looks set to prioritize discipline, form, and attitude over name or reputation.
🔍 Could this be the end of the road for some of United’s biggest investments?
With the club actively looking to generate funds for incoming transfers, letting go of underperforming stars could pave the way for fresh, hungry talent.
