Rashford’s relationship with manager Ruben Amorim has reportedly broken down. Apparently, the Portuguese coach previously questioned Rashford’s commitment. Alejandro Garnacho’s situation has also soured at this point. The 20-year-old Argentine is frustrated after being benched in United’s Europa League final.
The Red Devils lost the match to Spurs. Then Garnacho expressed his discontent on social media. “Up until the final, I played every round helping the team, and today I play 20 minutes. I don’t know,” he posted. Thus, fueling speculation over his exit. Chelsea reportedly retain a strong interest in the young winger.

Their focus is now at investing in new signings to start the next season anew. Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo is among their top targets. However, sources suggest the club has struggled to attract firm offers, despite signaling their willingness to sell.
Pre-season kicks off on July 20 against Leeds United in Stockholm. Coach Ruben Amorim is eager to reshape the squad to his vision as soon as possible. With Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho, Antony, and Malacia all likely heading for the exit, United’s summer may become one of their most transformative in years.
