Five Man Utd players 'tell club they want to leave' and won't report for pre-season with rest of squad

Manchester United have allowed five players to report for pre-season later to finalise moves this summer.

Man United have added Matheus Cunha to their squad, having triggered the £62.5 million release clause in his Wolves contract.

They remain in the market for more talent, with Ruben Amorim keen on signing Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo and an England international.

Amorim plans to offload players, too, to level the club's books, with several players linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer.

Marcus Rashford, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, and Alejandro Garnacho are among the players on the chopping block.

Not to mention Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia.

According to journalist Nathan Salt, Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho, Antony and Malacia have been told their required return date to pre-season is later in July so they can try and seal and exit from the club.

And, per Chris Wheeler, the five Man United players will be welcomed back to the club if they cannot secure transfers.

They will also have access to medical and rehab facilities during their time away from the training ground.

Like Rashford, Sancho, Anthony and Malacia also enjoyed loan spells away from Man United last season.

Sancho joined Chelsea, who opted against signing the winger on a permanent deal for £40 million.

He scored five goals in 41 matches, including a strike in Chelsea's Conference League final against Real Betis.

Antony shone in Spain with Betis, scoring nine goals in 26 games for the club.

The La Liga side want to keep the Brazilian winger but his salary remains an issue, per Fabrizio Romano.

As for Malacia, he joined PSV Eindhoven on loan, playing 12 games after arriving in February.

Garnacho, meanwhile, made 58 appearances across all competitions last season, scoring 11 goals. But his future lies away from Old Trafford, with Arsenal, Aston Villa and Chelsea thought to be keeping tabs on his situation.
