Marcus Rashford is looking for a way out of Manchester United with Barcelona his ideal destination whilst Jadon Sancho is edging closer to the exit door, but the club will have to accept a hefty loss
Manchester United’s summer still has a lot of moving parts to it with the club hoping to secure some major arrivals whilst some big names will be looking to depart.
Matheus Cunha remains their only signing but Ruben Amorim will hope that Bryan Mbeumo joins him sooner rather than later whilst more attacking additions could be made after that. In terms of outs, several big earners are looking to end their spells in Manchester.
Marcus Rashford’s future has been a major talking point – he is one of a number of loan exits who are now back. Jadon Sancho and Antony are in similar boats and look poised to leave the club.
Alejandro Garnacho is another player seeking pastures new after his snub in the Europa League final. His antics have angered Amorim and the club are looking to cash in with the Argentine potentially commanding a hefty fee. Here’s the latest news from the Red Devils.
Rashford ‘doesn’t deserve’ Barca move
Rashford has been told that “doesn’t get the move” from Manchester to Barcelona by Teddy Sheringham, who claims the forward isn’t worthy of such a switch. The United academy graduate is tipped to leave Old Trafford this summer after falling out of favour under Amorim.

The Spanish giants are considering a swoop for the United man having missed out on some of their other targets this summer. Nico Williams chose to remain at Athletic Bilbao whilst Liverpool are determined not to sell Luis Diaz, so they are running out of options, but Sheringham has not been impressed with his conduct
He told Sky Bet: “If you assess where Marcus Rashford is at as a professional footballer, you strive as a youngster to get to the very top and play for clubs like Manchester United, and when you’re there, you appreciate it. You don’t throw it away and say you want to leave.
“I hope Rashford doesn’t get the move that he’s hankering for. From my perspective, if you go from Manchester United to Barcelona, that’s a step up that he hasn’t deserved.”
Sancho’s cut-price move
United have accepted that they will have no choice but to accept a fee of less than £25m from Juventus if they want to offload Jadon Sancho this summer. The Italian giants have refused to meet the Red Devils’ asking price, leaving them to accept a considerably low offer.
Sancho is not part of United’s plans under Amorim and is in search of pastures new despite joining the club four years ago for more than £70m with many tipping him to be a huge success.
The former Borussia Dortmund winger is in the final year of his contract and spent last season on loan at Chelsea, before they chose to pay a penalty fee to prevent his move to Stamford Bridge becoming permanent. Juventus are now looking to seize on the unfortunate situation by adding Sancho on the cheap.
Brighton star on radar
The Red Devils have held talks with the camp of Brighton star Pervis Estupinan with the club interested in signing the full-back, who is also drawing interest from AC Milan this summer. Amorim only added Patrick Dorgu from Lecce in January and the summer has seen the arrival of teenage star Diego Leon, but they still want players in that area.
Brighton have already signed Maxim De Cuyper from Club Brugge this summer and as a result could be open to offers for Ecuador international, who has two years remaining on his contract at the Amex.
Estupinan has told the Seagulls he is open to a new challenge this summer and talkSPORT claim United have held discussions with the player’s camp. He was recently away on international duty this summer and revealed to El Canal Del Futbol that Brighton had given him freedom to make a decision.
