Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho, Antony, Malacia (Manchester United)
July 2025
Manchester United have allowed five players extra time off to explore transfers after informing the club of their desire to leave.
Amorim wants a focused squad for pre-season. Rashford’s No. 10 shirt will go to Matheus Cunha. If no moves materialize, players will return later in July.
Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)
July 2025
Marcus Rashford is set to join Manchester United’s pre-season after no contact with manager Ruben Amorim. He hopes to fight for his place after a strong loan at Aston Villa.
Despite Amorim’s preference to clear out unwanted players, Rashford’s personal training in Marbella has him ready to compete after Villa declined a £40m permanent move.
Tyrell Malacia (Manchester United)
July 2025
Malacia is among several United players deemed surplus to requirements, but a lack of suitors is stalling his exit and United’s plans to bring in reinforcements.
Despite helping PSV win the Eredivisie on loan, Malacia hasn’t attracted strong interest. With a year left on his deal, the club’s inability to move him is limiting their transfer strategy.
Tom Heaton (Manchester United)
June 2025
Manchester United have extended Tom Heaton’s contract until 2026. The 39-year-old veteran goalkeeper remains with the club despite limited appearances, offering depth and experience in United’s goalkeeping roster.
Heaton, re-signed in 2021, has made just three appearances but provides reliable backup. United opted for continuity amid goalkeeper reshuffling, especially as Dean Henderson and others face uncertain futures.
Casemiro (Manchester United)
June 2025
Al Nassr are in advanced talks to sign Casemiro from Manchester United, who are keen to offload his £350,000-a-week salary.
Casemiro has one year left on his deal but has struggled for form. If completed, he will reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia.
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)
June 2025
Manchester United have submitted an improved bid exceeding £60 million for Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo after their initial £55 million offer was rejected.
Brentford are open to negotiations but want more than £60 million. Mbeumo, with two years left on his deal, is seen as a key attacking target by Amorim’s staff.
Moise Kean (Fiorentina)
June 2025
Manchester United are targeting Fiorentina striker Moise Kean, who has a €52 million release clause valid between July 1–15. Kean scored 25 goals in 44 appearances last season, his best career form.
United are exploring striker options and view Kean as a prime candidate, but face competition from Saudi club Al Qadsiah, who are prepared to activate the clause once eligible. Kean’s prolific season has reignited top-level interest.
Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)
June 2025
Alejandro Garnacho has fueled exit speculation after posting a holiday photo in an Aston Villa shirt bearing Rashford’s name, following a lack of minutes in United’s Europa League final loss.
United declined to comment on reports that coach Ruben Amorim told Garnacho to seek a move. His post-final comments and reduced role have added to doubts over his future at Old Trafford.
Emiliano Martínez (Aston Villa)
June 2025
Emi Martínez is pushing to join Manchester United from Aston Villa this summer, viewing a transfer to Old Trafford as a dream move and hoping to reunite with Argentina teammate Lisandro Martínez.
The 32-year-old, named best goalkeeper in two of the past three years, has attracted interest from Atlético Madrid and Milan but prefers United. Villa may sell due to financial constraints, though no formal bid has been made yet.
