Man Utd legend backs Ruben Amorim over five-man bomb squad who 'simply have to leave'
Ruben Amorim has taken a firm stance over Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and the other Manchester United players who are desperate to leave the club this summer Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim's hard line stance with his petulant stars has been backed to lead the club back to the glory days of the past. Amorim has banned five United players – Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrrell Malacia – from returning to the club for pre-season training. All five want to leave and Amorim does not want their negative influence around the squad, so has told them to stay away until United's squad have left for their pre-season tour of the US. Amorim's ruthless approach has been backed by former United defender David May, who said he is right to get rid of players who put their own egos ahead of the interests of the team. 'I think this manager is perfect for the club,' said May, who won the Treble with United in 1999. 'I like what he does, how he speaks and I think the club is in really good hands with him. 'It's just the players and the mentality of some of them, who simply have to leave. You need players who will run through brick walls and who won't question, but will just get on with it. 'You can question certain things, but go and see the manager if you've not played, have it out in his office. Don't do it in the press or on social media. You see some of the stuff that's out there and it's so disrespectful, what some of the players are doing. 'You look at some of the players and their body language, and I think I'd much rather have 10 average players who will work their socks off than these prima-donnas who don't care. 'It's only when you leave the club, as a player, that you think 'wow, that is such a special place'. To be part of it, to have 70,000 people behind you, week-in, week-out, is the best feeling ever. 'These players have to realise that. I spoke to Ruben and he said 'the club is amazing, it's so special, but I feel I'm betraying the fans because I'm not getting the results'. 'I told him every fan I know absolutely loves what he's doing and he said 'nothing will change until the mentality changes' and he's spot-on.' United ended last season in 15th place, their lowest finish of the Premier League era, while defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final means no European football for only the second time in 35 years. But May, who is climbing Snowdon next month to raise funds for the Manchester United Foundation, reckons the absence of European football could work in the team's favour. 'Sometimes you have to hit rock-bottom – and I think we are at rock-bottom,' said May. 'But I think it's a blessing in disguise. You just have to concentrate on the league every week and not worry about Europe. Ruben can focus on starting the season well. We've got a great opening game, at home to Arsenal, and it's important we get off on the right foot. 'This pre-season is all about getting the right players in and certain players out. Matheus Cunha, there's something about him, he's a bit like Eric Cantona. He has that nastiness about him. United need that and I'm sure the fans will absolutely adore him. The fact Bryan Mbeumo said he wants to come here – how good is that to hear? He's not coming for the money. 'I don't see any reason why we can't be pushing for the top four next season. There are no distractions with Europe, it's just a case of focusing on every league game. You can't have any excuses and you can't feel tired, because you're not playing every three or four days like last season.'

Man City sign eye-watering £1BILLION deal to break Premier League record
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are getting ready to launch a title bid in the 2025-26 season and they have been bolstered by a historic £1billion kit deal with manufacturers Puma Manchester City have signed the biggest kit deal in Premier League history worth up to £1billion. City have extended their agreement with kit sponsors Puma for 10 years, with the deal understood to be valued at £100m a season. That is a significant upgrade on the £65m-a-year deal agreed between City and Puma when they began their partnership in 2019. The alliance has now been extended until at least the 2034-35 campaign, with the increased value of the deal reflecting City's unprecedented success over the last six years - despite ending last season empty-handed. City chief executive Ferran Soriano said: "We joined forces with Puma with the ambition to challenge ourselves and go beyond the expectations. We have achieved this and more over the last six seasons. "Puma have seamlessly integrated into our organisation and we've enjoyed many historic moments together, engaging fans globally. "Today's renewal and extension solidifies our relationship and projects it to an even brighter future.' City won the Treble in the 2022-23 season and made it a record four Premier League titles in a row last season. Despite relinquishing the title to Liverpool last season and coming up short in the other competitions, City have still been able to negotiate the most lucrative kit sponsorship deal in English football. Puma chief executive officer Arthur Hoeld said: "Puma's partnership with Manchester City has been a great success both on and off the pitch. Trophies, a perfect stage for our performance products and commercial success were exceptional." Pep Guardiola's men are making preparations for the 2025-26 season and are hoping to mount a title challenge against Liverpool. They have already made three major signings. They signed midfielder Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan, while playmaker Rayan Cherki arrived from Lyon for £34m and Rayan Ait-Nouri joined from Wolves for £31m. Guardiola's City were one of the favourites to win the Club World Cup this summer - which would have banked them a reported sum of £97m - but the Premier League side had a disappointing tournament as they went out in the round of 16 after a 4-3 loss to Al-Hilal.
