Manchester United begin their Premier League Summer Series campaign against West Ham on July 26.
The club has brought in three new players: Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon, and Bryan Mbeumo.
United has also offloaded Marcus Rashford and are hopeful of offloading at least a few more players. Ruben Amorim has had plenty of time to decide what to do with these players if they aren’t sold over the summer.
What did Amorim say about United’s unwanted players?
Regarding the potential loss in value of Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia, Amorim said, “Some players have to find a new place to have space in the team. Other players show they want a new challenge and a new team.
“We are just allowing these players to think and decide. If they reach a point where they will have to join the team, they will join because they are our players.”

The four players haven’t been included in United’s preseason squad, and they were training away from the first team before the squad left for the United States.
Amorim continued, “I know for a fact Omar [Barrada] and Jason [Wilcox] and the club have a number for these players.
“If they don’t reach that, they will be Manchester United players, no doubt about that. I understand other clubs are maybe waiting for the last minute, but they can have a surprise.
“I’m ready to receive the players. They have more competition. If they want to play in the World Cup, they need to play. I’m happy with that because I’ll have more options. If they have to fight each other to play, for me it’s perfect.”
