A major Manchester United squad shake-up may be underway as five key players—Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia—have reportedly informed the club of their desire to leave Old Trafford this summer.
The bombshell report was confirmed by trusted football journalist Fabrizio Romano on Friday, who revealed that the players have already communicated their intentions to leave to the club hierarchy.

- “Marcus Rashford, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia, Jadon Sancho have all informed Manchester United they wish to leave.
- Man Utd have delayed their return date until later in July to allow them time to explore solutions further,” Romano posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Squad Overhaul Under Rúben Amorim
The development is fueling strong speculation of a massive squad overhaul under new manager Rúben Amorim, who is reportedly preparing to reshape United’s roster ahead of the 2025/26 season.
To accommodate potential transfers, Manchester United has delayed the pre-season return of the five players until later in July 2025, giving them time to explore options and hold talks with interested clubs.
Rashford’s Exit Signals New Era
Among the five, Marcus Rashford’s exit is the most shocking. A homegrown talent, long viewed as the face of United’s forward line, Rashford has even handed over his No. 10 shirt to new signing Matheus Cunha—a symbolic move that points to the end of an era.
Sancho, Garnacho, Antony & Malacia Also Eyeing Moves
- Jadon Sancho, who spent part of last season on loan at Chelsea, has struggled to establish himself at United and is now seeking a permanent transfer.
- Alejandro Garnacho, one of United’s brightest young prospects, is eyeing an exit after limited game time last season.
- Antony, who impressed during his loan spell at Real Betis, wants a fresh start elsewhere to regain career momentum.

Tyrell Malacia, who had a stint at PSV Eindhoven and dealt with recurring injuries, is also pushing for a transfer.
United Open to Sales
Club sources indicate that Manchester United’s board is open to selling multiple players in a bid to free up wages and raise transfer funds for new signings as the club rebuilds under Amorim’s leadership.
- This marks one of the most dramatic off-season periods in recent Man Utd history, with big names potentially departing to make way for a new era at Old Trafford.
