Amorim demands Man Utd off-load Rashford and other star before transfer window closes

Ruben Amorim has made it clear that Marcus Rashford and Casemiro do not fit into his plans at Manchester United and is insisting they leave.

Since taking charge in November, the Portuguese manager has been working to reshape the squad, identifying underperforming senior players who do not meet his expectations.

Among them, Rashford and Casemiro have emerged as two high-profile names United are looking to part ways with.

Once a key figure at Old Trafford, Rashford has struggled for form, prompting United to consider offers of £40 million or more for the England forward.

Barcelona remain keen on securing Rashford on loan, with the player himself willing to take a pay cut to facilitate a move to Spain. However, no formal agreement has been reached yet.

Signed for £60 million from Real Madrid in 2022, Casemiro has failed to replicate the dominant performances he displayed at the Bernabeu.

Now, United are open to letting him go, with Roma considering a loan deal as a potential replacement for Leandro Paredes, who could leave in the coming days.

Meanwhile, United have received a significant boost in their chase for Bayern Munich striker Mathys Tel, as the 19-year-old has rejected a move to Tottenham despite the North London club agreeing a deal with Bayern.

United are among the clubs keen on Tel, and his decision to turn down Spurs could work in their favor as they look to strengthen their attacking options.

With Victor Boniface’s move to the Saudi Pro League falling through, Bayer Leverkusen have now offered the Nigerian striker to clubs in England, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Aston Villa. United could explore a deal if they fail to land their primary targets.

While Amorim is actively reshaping his squad, he has been firm in his stance on Alejandro Garnacho, insisting that the club must keep academy-grown talents like him.

Chelsea and Napoli have both expressed interest in the Argentinian winger, but United’s boss remains adamant that he is a key part of the club’s future.

"I want players like Kobbie and Garnacho. Our focus must be on improving the academy and developing homegrown talent. That is something all English clubs must take advantage of—to play, feel the shirt, but also to sell. Our goal is to bring more academy players through."

With just days left in the transfer window, United are expected to act swiftly in their efforts to reshape the squad, moving out unwanted players while reinforcing key positions.
