The players who wish to depart are Marcus Rashford, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia, and Jadon Sancho. According to reports, all five players have informed the club of their intention to leave, citing a desire to explore new opportunities and pursue their career goals.

Rashford has been linked with a move to Barcelona, where he hopes to play alongside forward Lamine Yamal. However, his high wages have been a barrier to his departure, and he is expected to report to training on Monday as planned.

Sancho and Antony have both been seeking a move away from Manchester United for some time. Antony spent the majority of the previous season on loan at Real Betis, where he helped the team reach the Champions League and Conference League finals. Sancho, meanwhile, won the Conference League with Chelsea but chose not to join the club permanently.

Garnacho has fallen out of favour at United and has been linked with a move to Aston Villa, a club he has been spotted wearing a top for on social media. His departure has been anticipated for some time, and United are likely to sell him to raise funds for new signings.

The potential sale of all five players could provide Manchester United with the necessary funds to invest in their squad and bring in new talent. This could be crucial in helping the team to return to the top half of the table and achieve their goals.
