Amorim’s Ruthless Manchester United Overhaul: 10 Players Reportedly Facing Exit
Ruben Amorim is reportedly planning to offload ten Manchester United players as part of a major summer squad restructuring, according to shocking reports from Spanish media.
Manchester United has already shown its transfer intent by securing Patrick Dorgu from Lecce and Ayden Heaven from Arsenal during the January window. However, before making further additions this summer, Amorim appears focused on trimming the existing squad significantly.
Spanish publication Fichajes claims the Portuguese manager has identified ten first-team players he deems surplus to requirements, including several high-profile names and recent big-money signings.
Star Signings Among Those Reportedly on Transfer List
The list of players allegedly set for departure includes:
- Rasmus Hojlund (£72 million signing from Atalanta)
- Mason Mount (£55 million acquisition from Chelsea)
- Jadon Sancho (currently on loan at Chelsea)
- Antony (on loan at Real Betis)
- Marcus Rashford (on loan at Aston Villa)
- Casemiro (specifically mentioned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe in a recent interview)
- Christian Eriksen
- Victor Lindelof
- Jonny Evans
- Tom Heaton
What makes this reported exodus particularly surprising is the inclusion of Hojlund, who joined the Red Devils just last summer in a massive £72 million deal. Similarly, Mount’s presence on the list raises eyebrows given his £55 million price tag when moving from Chelsea.
The three attackers currently out on loan—Sancho, Antony, and Rashford—apparently have no future at Old Trafford under Amorim’s leadership. Sancho’s relationship with the club deteriorated following his public dispute with former manager Erik ten Hag, while both Antony and Rashford secured loan moves in January after struggling for consistent form.
| Player | Current Status | Original Transfer Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Rasmus Hojlund | First team | £72 million |
| Mason Mount | First team | £55 million |
| Jadon Sancho | On loan at Chelsea | £73 million |
| Antony | On loan at Real Betis | £82 million |
| Marcus Rashford | On loan at Aston Villa | Academy graduate |
In midfield, veteran players Casemiro and Eriksen are reportedly considered past their prime for Amorim’s high-intensity system. Defensive options Lindelof and Evans, along with goalkeeper Heaton, complete the list of those potentially leaving.
Despite a challenging start since his November appointment, Amorim recently guided United to the Europa League quarter-finals following their victory over Real Sociedad. This progress in Europe offers some positivity amid what appears to be extensive behind-the-scenes planning.
Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada recently provided insight into the club’s transfer strategy, stating: “We’re making some big efforts to get us in the best financial position. Even if we’re outside of Europe – I think we will be in a position to invest in the squad.”
Berrada emphasized the strong working relationship between Amorim and Sporting Director Jason Wilcox, noting they “share the vision of how they want to see the team playing.” This alignment suggests the reported squad overhaul has organizational backing at the highest levels.
