Preparations for the 2025-26 season are about to commence, and Manchester United have made a big decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday, Ruben Amorim<\/a> returned to Carrington<\/a> and immediately got stuck into tackling the big problems at Manchester United<\/a> this summer.<\/p>\n

The coaching staff have returned days before the United squad are due to return on July 7th<\/a>, and there have clearly been some decisions to make.<\/p>\n

In the hours after returning to the training ground, it has been confirmed that United have handed Matheus Cunha the number 10 shirt<\/a>, signalling the end for one player in particular.<\/p>\n

However, a bigger decision has been made regarding to future of the five players whom Amorim has no intention of using next season.<\/p>\n

There has been plenty of talk around United forming a \u2018bomb squad\u2019 this summer<\/a>, with a number of players simply having no future under Amorim.<\/p>\n

However, despite talk, it was claimed that Marcus Rashford, for one, was planning to return for pre-season<\/a>; however, the chances of this have just been slashed.<\/p>\n

United in Focus<\/strong> understands that five United players have told the club they want to leave. As a result, United have told them not to report for pre-season on Monday, giving them extra time to explore potential summer exits further.<\/p>\n
