Man United’s Amorim Warns ‘Bomb Squad’ Players, Sets Firm Transfer Prices

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has made it clear that the club will not lower their asking prices for out-of-favor players Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia, despite interest from various clubs and the players' desires to move. These four players are currently training separately from the first team and were excluded from the pre-season tour in the United States, with only Marcus Rashford having secured a loan move to Barcelona so far. Betis, keen to re-sign Antony on loan with an option to buy, cannot meet United's asking price of around €40 million, complicating their efforts. Amorim warned that clubs waiting until the last minute to negotiate could be surprised, as United is prepared to reintegrate these players if no acceptable offers come in. He emphasized that players who want to participate in the upcoming World Cup need regular playing time to maintain their chances, adding that increased competition within the squad is beneficial. United’s chief executive Omar Berrada and sporting director Jason Wilcox have firm valuations for these players and will stand by them, signaling a tough stance in the ongoing transfer window.
