(Reuters) -Five players including England forward Marcus Rashford and Argentina winger Alejandro Garnacho have informed Manchester United that they wish to explore a future away from the Premier League side, a club source said on Friday.
Brazilian midfielder Antony, Dutch defender Tyrell Malacia and England international Jadon Sancho are also looking to leave the club, the source added.
Rashford, who has fallen out of favour with manager Ruben Amorim, played for Aston Villa on loan while United had their worst-ever Premier League campaign, finishing 15th in the standings.
Sancho was on loan at Chelsea, while Antony was at Real Betis and Malacia played for Dutch side PSV Eindhoven.

Cricket-'Prince' Gill joins elite with 430-run haul at Edgbaston

Cricket - Second Test - England v India - Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham, Britain - July 5, 2025 India's Shubman Gill celebrates after completing his century Action Images via Reuters/Paul Childs BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) -Shubman Gill joined elite company when he followed up his captain's knock of 269 in the first innings with 161 in the second as England struggled to find a chink in the armour of the man nicknamed "The Prince" at Edgbaston on Saturday. As India piled on the runs to set the hosts a mammoth target of 608, Gill became only the fifth man to score 400 runs in a test, joining an illustrious list including England's Graham Gooch, Australian Mark Taylor, Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara and West Indian Brian Lara. Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad took 604 test wickets but struggled to find a weakness in Gill's batting. "As a bowler, I'll be looking for technical things so I could expose him, but he's not shown any obvious signs of dismissal and he's played stylishly," Broad told Sky Sports. "He's played with huge responsibility, under big pressure. It's breathtaking and deserves all the applause he is going to get." India have never won a test match at Edgbaston but the venue will go down in history as the first ground where they registered more than 1,000 runs in a test match (1,011). In his second match as captain and under fire from day one after resting Jasprit Bumrah, the world's number one ranked test bowler, Gill took on the England attack and plundered 430 runs in two innings. He became only the second batter in history to score 200 and 150 in the same test match after Australian great Allan Border, 45 years ago, while he is behind only Gooch (456) for most runs by a batter in a test. He surpassed Sunil Gavaskar's long-standing record of 344 runs in a single test for India, which came against the West Indies 54 years ago. Indian batters have often struggled in seaming conditions in England but Gill mixed elegance and explosiveness to torment the bowlers. Having also scored a century in the first test, Gill took his run tally to 585 in two matches. The Indian record for most runs in a test series in England belongs to Rahul Dravid (602) while Virat Kohli scored 593. Gill could easily break that record at Lord's in the next match and the sky is the limit with three matches left. He also set the record for the most sixes by an Indian captain when he cleared the rope eight times in the second innings as India set England a massive target of 608 to win the match. "Well played, Star Boy. Rewriting history," Kohli wrote on Instagram. "Onwards and upwards from here. You deserve all of this." (Reporting by Rohith Nair in Bengaluru;, editing by Ed Osmond)

Soccer-Miedema's 100th goal fires Dutch to 3-0 Euros win over Wales

Soccer Football - UEFA Women's Euro 2025 - Group D - Wales v Netherlands - Stadion Allmend, Lucerne, Switzerland - July 5, 2025 Netherlands' Vivianne Miedema celebrates after Esmee Brugts scores their third goal REUTERS/Matthew Childs LUCERNE, Switzerland (Reuters) -Vivianne Miedema scored her 100th international goal to send the Netherlands on their way to a 3-0 win over Wales in their Group D opener at the Women's European Championship at the Allmend Stadion in Lucerne on Saturday. Wales came into their debut match at a major tournament as underdogs against the 2017 champions and, after frustrating the Dutch for long periods of the opening half, Miedema's milestone strike before the break ended the Welsh resistance. The Welsh were pinned back in their own half for long stretches, often making things difficult for themselves with some wayward passing but also regularly putting their bodies on the line in the box to block the constant Dutch danger. Jill Roord hit two powerful efforts in the first half, one saved by Wales keeper Olivia Clark, the other thundering back off the upright, while the Welsh intent was underlined by Lily Woodham picking up a booking inside 25 minutes for time-wasting. Wales looked like hanging on until the interval but, deep into added time, Miedema struck a curling shot from outside the area which sailed into the far top corner, a goal worthy of the captain's milestone in her 126th international appearance. The Dutch doubled their lead less than three minutes after the break, with Danielle van de Donk laying a pass back to Victoria Pelova in the box who blasted a shot through the legs of defender Gemma Evans and beyond the keeper. Roord again hit the woodwork, as the Netherlands almost added a third immediately, and they did find the net again in the 57th minute. Jackie Groenen's shot rattled the crossbar and, from the rebound, Pelova floated a ball to the back post which was finished off by Esmee Brugts. The Dutch threatened to run riot but despite plenty of chances were unable to add to their tally. In arguably the toughest group in the competition, holders England face France later on Saturday.
