Man United Exodus? Rashford, Sancho, Garnacho Among Five Stars Reportedly Seeking Exit
Manchester United may be bracing for a dramatic squad shake-up as at least five first-team players have reportedly told the club they want out before the start of the 2025/26 season.
According to Italian football transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the players include:
🇬🇧 Marcus Rashford
🇧🇷 Antony
🇦🇷 Alejandro Garnacho
🇳🇱 Tyrell Malacia
🇬🇧 Jadon Sancho
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Romano stated:
“Marcus Rashford, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia, Jadon Sancho have all informed Manchester United they wish to leave.”
He added that the club has delayed its official preseason return until later this month to allow time to explore exit strategies and possible transfers.
🔁 Player Movements So Far
Several of these players spent last season on loan across Europe:
Rashford, despite earlier struggles, enjoyed a resurgence on loan at Aston Villa, helping them reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
Sancho made a decent impact under Enzo Maresca at Chelsea, seemingly regaining some of the spark that earned him a high-profile move from Dortmund.
Garnacho, still considered one of United’s brightest young prospects, reportedly seeks a fresh environment to develop further.
💬 Opinion: Trouble at the Theatre of Dreams?
For a club of Manchester United’s historic stature, this kind of unrest among its young core and attacking talents sends a clear signal: all is not well behind the scenes.
These aren’t just fringe players — they are highly valued, marketable talents who, if managed correctly, could define a new era for United. So why are they all looking for the exit?
From inconsistent results under Erik ten Hag, to dressing room tensions and unclear sporting direction under new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the writing may already be on the wall: United’s rebuild is faltering, and the players are voting with their feet.
🧠 What It Means for Man United:
A potential offensive crisis, losing three wingers (Antony, Sancho, Garnacho) and Rashford.
Increased pressure on United’s recruitment and youth development.
Massive wage and valuation headaches if the club wants to offload them at a fair price.
🗣️ Fans Are Divided
“Rashford leaving might be best for both sides.”
“Garnacho? United must fight to keep him!”
“Why does it always feel like we’re in crisis every summer?”
⚽ What's Next?
All eyes are now on Erik ten Hag and the boardroom. Can they stop the exodus and give fans a reason to believe again? Or will the 2025/26 season begin with United scrambling to replace a fleeing core?
