Amorim clear out at Man United: ‘Major updates as 3 big-money flops wanted now’
Ruben Amorim could be set for a transfer window clear out at Man United as three big-money outcasts are attracting named interest, according to Sky Sports.
According to the outlet’s website on 6 January, the Red Devils are ready to listen to offers for multiple members of the first-team squad.
Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth has revealed that several clubs in Spain and Greece have made contact regarding a potential loan move for Antony [via Sky Sports Transfer Centre].
The Brazilian winger has fallen out of favour and has yet to start a single game for the club this season. Sheth added that United are open to considering offers for the player.
In another update from the Sky Sports Transfer Centre, it was reported that AC Milan are “discussing internally” the possibility of a loan deal for Marcus Rashford, according to Sky in Italy.
Additionally, Casemiro has been identified as another player “allowed to leave if the right offer comes in.” The 32-year-old midfielder has drawn interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia.
Man United need funds and space for new players under Ruben Amorim
Football Insider opinion
All three players have fallen out of favour under the new coach. Amorim has shown he isn’t afraid to make bold decisions, such as leaving Rashford out of the squad for the Manchester derby.
While the exact reasons haven’t been disclosed, disciplinary issues have been revealed and strongly hint at an impending exit for the academy graduate.
Casemiro, too, finds himself on the fringes as Manuel Ugarte has taken over the defensive midfield role. His high wages are a significant burden not only for the club but also for any club considering signing him.
Antony appears to have been replaced by youngster Amad Diallo. The Brazilian winger has struggled to make an impact since his high-profile €95 million (£81.3m) transfer in 2022 [BBC Sport]. With only 12 goals and five assists since his debut, he has has failed to justify his hefty price tag.
Meanwhile, Diallo has emerged as a shining light in what has been a challenging season for United. With crucial goals against Liverpool and Man City, he is reportedly set to be rewarded with a new contract, while Antony seems poised to leave.
With high-profile players linked to potential departures, Man United appear ready to back Amorim in the transfer window and make significant changes to the squad.
