Manchester United are aiming to sell a crop of unwanted stars, including Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, but the latter has been allowed to return to full training with the rest of the squad
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has risked the wrath of Marcus Rashford after reportedly allowing Alejandro Garnacho to train with his team-mates at Carrington - while the England star continues to be isolated from the squad.
Garnacho and Rashford both look set for exits this summer after falling out with the Portuguese boss last season.
The Argentine lost his place in the team towards the end of the 2024-25 campaign and appeared irked when Amorim dropped him for the Europa League final defeat to Spurs - and suggested he was unhappy with the decision after the game.
But the 21-year-old has reportedly been given permission to resume training with the rest of his United team-mates while his future continues to be discussed, according to ESPN.
He managed an impressive season individually as he scored 11 goals and assisted nine, but could not stop the team finishing 15th. He still has interest from a number of teams across Europe, including from Italy and Germany, the report adds.
As for Rashford, his future looks much bleaker. The forward was sent on loan to Aston Villa in January after leaving Amorim unimpressed with his training performances while also publicly stating his desire to leave.
Rashford, along with Garnacho and three other players, had extra time off to find a new club before returning to training, but returned to Carrington on Monday and Tuesday - working by himself individually.
Rashford has been strongly linked with a move to Barcelona, who are still looking for a new winger after top target Nico Williams signed a ten-year deal with Athletic Bilbao.
According to reports in Spain, Rashford would be willing to take a sizeable pay cut on his £325,000-a-week wages to move to Barca - who want a loan deal given that United are demanding a £40m fee.
He is understood to have no future at Old Trafford as long as Amorim remains manager - after the coach said he would rather name his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital on the bench rather than a player who "does not give the maximum". The arrival of Matheus Cunha and the club's interest in Bryan Mbeumo further pushes him down the pecking order.
Other players who have been told to find new clubs alongside Rashford and Garnacho and Jadon Sancho, who looks set to join Juventus, and Tyrell Malacia.
