United Manchester's "Explosive Team" to be separated from fellow players as the squad adheres to Ruben Amorim's stringent policies
Manchester United is currently in the midst of a significant transfer period, with several key players seeking new challenges elsewhere and the club looking to generate funds and clean up the squad.
The 'Bomb Squad' on the Move
Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia have been kept away from the first team and excluded from the club’s preseason tour in the United States. The reason for this exclusion is their desire to leave Old Trafford this summer and the club’s effort to facilitate their moves [2][4].
Manchester United has made it clear that it will not sell these players for cut-price fees, wanting to maximize transfer value. Garnacho, for instance, is the subject of a £45 million move to Napoli, while Antony is being eyed by several clubs, with Manchester United setting a high price tag around €50 million [1][5].
New Faces at Old Trafford
While some players are looking to leave, Manchester United is also actively pursuing new signings. The club is interested in Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, with talks ongoing [6]. Moreover, Matheus Cunha has joined Manchester United from Wolves for £62.5 million [7].
Managerial Pressure
The disastrous season that saw United finish 15th, their worst since relegation in the 1973-74 campaign, has put manager Ruben Amorim under pressure to deliver. Amorim has taken a hardline stance to clean things up, with left-back Luke Shaw supporting his efforts to brand the dressing room "toxic" [3].
Marcus Rashford's Loan Move
In a separate development, Marcus Rashford has joined Barcelona on a season-long loan [8].
As the transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen how the saga of the 'Bomb Squad' unfolds and who else will join or leave Manchester United.
