At the start of pre-season, five wantaway players were exiled from the United squad – Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia

Ruben Amorim has said that there is a potential way back for outcast players at Manchester United. The Portuguese head coach, who left Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia out of the club’s pre-season squad to the United States, appears to be open to the idea of reintegration of those out in the cold.

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim insists he would be "happy" to start the season without a new striker. United have enhanced their attack with the £133.5million arrivals of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo but missed out on Liam Delap, their prime striker target, after he chose to join Chelsea.
