- Marcus Rashford has had his squad number taken off him and allocated away
- He is one of five first team stars who have told Man United they want to leave
- Those five do not need to report for the start of pre-season training on Monday
Manchester United have told five of their unsettled stars to delay their return to pre-season training.
Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia will now not report with the rest of the squad at Carrington on Monday morning, and will have to wait until later in the month.
United believe that is the best way forward with all five players exploring moves away from the club this summer.
They will still be given access to the medical and rehab facilities at Carrington should they want to come into the training ground, and be welcomed back if they cannot find a new club over the next few weeks.
