Major Exodus Brewing at Manchester United
In what could mark the beginning of a seismic shake-up at Old Trafford, a wave of first-team players have now informed Manchester United of their intentions to leave during the summer transfer window. According to multiple trusted sources emerging within the last hour, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Tyrell Malacia have all requested exits — triggering what many are calling a “mass departure” ahead of the club’s new era under manager Rúben Amorim.
The decision is said to have been communicated directly to the club’s hierarchy, and United have responded by postponing the scheduled return of these players to pre-season training. This delay is a tactical one — allowing both the players’ representatives and the club to prioritise negotiations, field offers, and explore possible moves as early as this month.
What makes this situation even more dramatic is the inclusion of homegrown icon Marcus Rashford and rising star Alejandro Garnacho, both of whom were previously seen as central to the club’s long-term vision. Rashford’s desire to leave, in particular, is turning heads across Europe. Once the poster boy of Manchester United’s rebuild, his likely departure suggests a radical change in identity and direction under Amorim’s reign.
Adding to the speculation, sources close to the club have reported that Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha is being lined up to take over the famous No. 10 shirt — a number steeped in history at United, previously worn by legends like Wayne Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Rashford himself.
Behind the scenes, Rúben Amorim is believed to be fully aware — and possibly supportive — of this overhaul. The Portuguese tactician has arrived with a clear mandate: to rebuild the squad in his image and demand full commitment from every player. His strong stance and swift actions suggest he’s not afraid to part ways with big names if they don’t align with his vision.
As the transfer window heats up, Manchester United fans are bracing for a summer of change, uncertainty, and, possibly, hope — depending on how the club reinvests and restructures for the future.
Expect negotiations to accelerate in the coming days, with interested clubs likely to queue up for talents like Garnacho and Rashford.
