Man Utd choose NOT to sell two players' 2025/26 shirts as big decision on Marcus Rashford is made

Amorim was damning when asked about Rashford earlier this year RASH DECISION Man Utd choose NOT to sell two players' 2025/26 shirts as big decision on Marcus Rashford is made MANCHESTER UNITED are NOT selling Jadon Sancho or Antony shirts on their official website. But the Red Devils are flogging Marcus Rashford jerseys.

Sancho headed for Chelsea, while Antony excelled at Real Betis. Rashford, meanwhile, spent four months at Aston Villa after falling out of favour under boss Ruben Amorim. United's online shop suggests that there could be a way back for the homegrown hero.

Sancho's squad number has been taken by Manuel Ugarte, with the former England winger having worn No25 prior to being loaned to Chelsea. The No21 shirt worn by Antony is vacant, but still does not appear on United's online shop. Rashford still has three years remaining on his contract, with Antony's up in 2027 and Sancho's running for 12 more months.

His performances for Villa saw him earn a call-up to Thomas Tuchel's first Three Lions squad in March. In April, the BBC reported that Rashford was set for talks over his United future in "mid-June".

Man Utd drop hint on three transfer exits as Ruben Amorim plots huge rebuild

Manchester United are expected to undergo a major overhaul in this summer's transfer window after a dreadful season that saw them finish 15th in the Premier League Manchester United have that hinted three players are on their way out of Old Trafford imminently. Boss Ruben Amorim is keen to deliver a huge rebuild of the squad following a dreadful season. They finished 15th in the Premier League table, a massive 42 points adrift of champions Liverpool. The Red Devils also failed to secure European qualification after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham. ‌ Matheus Cunha has already arrived in a £63million deal from Wolves, with more signings expected. Several players are also expected to be moved out of the club as Amorim wields the axe. ‌ Before the squad even report back for pre-season duty, United are working on selling several stars. The transfer window is now open until September, with business to proceed quickly. United are making no secret of the players who are first in the line for the exit door. And club chiefs have dropped a huge hint over those who they believe have no future at Old Trafford. The club launched their new home kit for the 2025/2026 season last week, with it immediately going on sale. But fans are not able have the names and numbers of Tyrell Malacia, Antony or Jadon Sancho on the back of their shirts. That is a strong hint that the trio will be on the move. Some may be surprised to see though that fellow likely departures Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho both have their names and numbers available to buy. That only makes the absence of Malacia, Antony and Sancho more noticeable. Malacia joined PSV Eindhoven on loan in January, making 12 appearances as they won the Eredivisie title. ‌ Sancho meanwhile played 41 times for Chelsea, as they won the Europa Conference League. But in a humiliation for the winger, the Blues decided to pay a £5m fine to United, rather than activating the £25m obligation to buy clause in his loan agreement. The Englishman even no longer has a squad number at United after the Red Devils gave his No. 25 shirt to Manuel Ugarte last year. Antony is pushing to join Real Betis after a successful loan stint, a move he admitted has reinvigorated his career. Speaking to TNT Sports Brazil, he said: "[Coming to Betis] changed a lot because I needed to find myself, because of everything I went through in my personal life. As I said, I wanted to do things, but they didn't seem to work out because I wasn't happy. ‌ "I didn't feel that desire to play football, and I needed to find myself and be happy again because playing football was always something I loved. I went through difficult times [at Manchester United ] when I no longer felt that pleasure. "I even always told my brother, I told him that I couldn't take it anymore. [My brother] told me to hold on a little longer, that things were going to change . It even made me emotional, because they were very hard days for me."

The Blues got a good impact out of their substitutes NET POSITIVES Chelsea player ratings: Pedro Neto star of the show but petulant Marc Cucurella has day to forget CHELSEA opened their Club World Cup campaign with a low-key 2-0 win over LAFC. Enzo Maresca named a strong side for the game in Atlanta, not taking the Blues' MLS opponents lightly. 12 Cole Palmer congratulates Pedro Neto for his opener Credit: Reuters The likes of Liam Delap started on the bench, with Maresca going for a more tried and tested line-up. Despite beginning as a sub, Delap did come on to have an impact. Goals by Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez went on to seal victory for the Blues. Here's how SunSport's Etienne Fermie rated each Blues star.

Involved in a few theatrical incidents and booked in the second half for a petulant challenge. 12 Marc Cucurella adjusts his barnet during the match Credit: Getty MOISES CAICEDO - 7 A typically tenacious performance in the middle of the park from Chelsea's reigning player of the year. Caicedo was effective in regaining possession and recycling the ball. 12 Moises Caicedo was not afraid to get stuck in Credit: Reuters ROMEO LAVIA - 6 Played a few smart passes during a low-key first half.

Was often involved during the first half but little he tried came off. Subbed just after the hour mark having failed to make a big impact. 12 Much of what Noni Madueke tried did not work on the night Credit: AP NICOLAS JACKSON - 7 Played Madueke through with a brilliant pass. Later produced an even better ball to set up Neto's opener. Nearly scored with a second half header before being replaced by Liam Delap. 12 Nicoals Jackson was a thorn in his opponents' sides Credit: Getty SUBSTITUTES Enzo Fernandez (for Lavia, 46) - 7 Sealed Chelsea's win with a simple close-range finish. Malo Gusto (for James, 46) - 5 A pretty underwhelming cameo from Chelsea's backup right-back. Liam Delap (for Jackson, 64) - 7 Some brilliant bustling centre-forward play to bully his marker before nearly teeing up Fernandez. Lovely cross to set up the Argentine's goal. Tyrique George (for Madueke, 64) - 5 A few nifty touches but didn't really make much of an impact. Dario Essugo (for Caicedo, 84) - N/A Not enough time to show what he can do. Christopher Nkunku (for Palmer, 84) - N/A Forgotten man barely got a touch off the bench.
