Five Manchester United players—Marcus Rashford, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia—have formally informed the club of their intention to leave during the summer transfer window. In response, Manchester United has delayed the players' return to pre-season training to allow them additional time to explore transfer options. The club has granted these players permission to be absent from the start of pre-season as they seek moves away from Old Trafford. This development signals a potential reshaping of the squad ahead of the new season.
