According to the Post, Manchester United hopes to treat the players they want to send away in a more moderate way. In order to avoid conflicts with coach Amorin, they asked Rashford, Sancho, Garnacho, Anthony and Malaysia to postpone their return.
Preseason training should have been a new beginning, but Manchester United and its coach Amorin still faced some old problems when the players returned to Carrington training base this week. Amorin would obviously be disappointed if he hopes the team can find new owners for Rashford, Sancho, Garnacho, Anthony and Maracia in the five weeks of the summer offseason.
Last Friday, as soon as Amorin returned to Carrington, it was reported that Rashford was preparing to participate in pre-season training. However, Manchester United soon revealed that all five players were asked to postpone their return date. According to sources, United are very cautious to avoid intensifying the already tense situation, especially for Rashford, who has played for his childhood club for twenty years and is about to lose the No. 10 jersey to new player Cunha.
Manchester United is also handling contract issues with caution, suggesting that the players expressed their desire to explore leaving Old Trafford and gave them more time. However, some players insist that they did not ask for a departure, a move that would affect their compensation clause when they eventually leave the team. Nevertheless, everyone believes finding a new club is good for all parties.
Manchester United could not ban five players from entering the Carrington training base because they did nothing wrong. These players still have access to medical and rehabilitation facilities and if the transfer fails to come, they can return to Carrington in a few weeks (probably after Amorin and the others head to the U.S. Tour on July 23).
So far, only Rashford has exercised this option, working with Manchester United's fitness coach on Monday and Tuesday, a source said it was "coordinated" to avoid the return training of other players. Sancho has long been accustomed to training alone in Carrington after former coach Ten Hager excluded him, while the other three marginalized players have not yet appeared. Chris Fanel, a sports lawyer, said: "This creates a rather unpleasant situation between the club and the players, who are unable to make the most of these players, and the players are not ready for the new season. Both sides are keeping their negotiating stance as much as possible and acting cautiously to avoid breach of contracts. This is the club's calculated action and the players are not excluded. The club does not take risks at the moment, but as the season begins, this risk will increase significantly." The last time the players gathered in Carrington in May, Amorin told Garnacho to "pray" that he can find a new club this summer, a reaction to his being placed on the bench when he lost to Tottenham in the Europa League final. On Monday morning, the first group had a brief team meeting, during which Cunha and another new player from Manchester United, Diego Leon, met their new teammates. It is understood that Amorin only introduced new employees and did not mention the absentees.
The various departments are working with the coaching staff to finalize the final details so that the team will be ready when they return from the United States in early August. Currently, the men's football gym is located in an indoor court, where medical tests began on Monday morning. Given that the players have travelled to the Far East over a month after the season and many follow a fitness and nutrition program, they are unlikely to be in poor health.
Amorin once complained that he had few opportunities on the training ground with the players in the first eight months of taking over the team, so he did not waste time and led the players to start grass training before lunch, and four youth training players were invited to join the first team. Another group of players also received training notices Tuesday as Amorin's demand for position changes.
Yesterday, eight players who received extra holidays for international match missions returned, including B Fee and Dalot. The second group of players will meet with the rest early next week to prepare for Manchester United's pre-season friendly against Leeds United, which will be held in Stockholm a week later. The
team will head to Chicago's training base after returning to Manchester for the Premier League summer series against Bournemouth on July 31. First, they will fly to New Jersey to face West Ham United on July 27, and then play Everton in Atlanta on August 3. Amorin hopes that the five players will be able to leave by then, but there is no guarantee yet.
