Amad has hinted at a major switch in the works, and it could rely on Manchester United<\/a> team-mate Marcus Rashford completing a permanent exit this summer. The 27-year-old winger is widely expected to depart Old Trafford for good after Aston Villa opted against triggering their \u00a340million buy option at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Barcelona have been strongly linked but are currently prioritising their pursuit of Athletic Club winger Nico Williams. Whether there will be space in the budget for Rashford beyond the Arsenal<\/a> target’s arrival remains to be seen, which has sparked murmurs of a Premier League stay. According to The Sun<\/a>, Newcastle<\/a> United are ready to offer Rashford an escape route in the coming months.<\/p>\n

It’s claimed that while Barcelona are the England international’s dream destination, Newcastle<\/a> are confident they can provide the perfect platform for his next step.<\/p>\n

Eddie Howe can offer Champions League football at St. James’ Park next season and is said to be planning with Alexander Isak rather than anticipating an exit.<\/p>\n

The report adds that Newcastle<\/a> would be signing Rashford to provide the Swede with competition, although they currently prefer a loan.<\/p>\n

Should Rashford walk away from Manchester this summer, he would leave his illustrious No. 10 shirt behind in the Old Trafford dressing room.<\/p>\n

Matheus Cunha is the hot favourite to wear the shirt next term, having been its owner in his final season at Wolves.<\/p>\n

There is a belief in some sections of the fanbase that United’s decision to keep Cunha’s number a secret when they confirmed his \u00a362.5m transfer is because it isn’t yet vacant.<\/p>\n

However, Amad is primed to play just as crucial a role for Ruben Amorim<\/a> next season, and it’s clear that he is also eyeing a new shirt number.<\/p>\n

During United’s launch of the 2025\/26 home kit, Amad shared a picture on Instagram<\/a> with the caption, “16 [hourglass emoji].”<\/p>\n

His social media actively represented a big hint that there are plans to upgrade the No. 16 he has worn since 2021.<\/p>\n

Amad wore the No. 19 shirt when he first started playing for United’s senior team before Raphael Varane’s 2021 arrival from Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

That number is vacant once again, but Bryan Mbeumo is almost guaranteed to be its owner if he seals his switch from Brentford.<\/p>\n

With the 7 and 11 shirts also occupied, the No. 10 appears to be the only clear upgrade for Amad.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old could be given priority when United decide on Rashford’s replacement over Cunha, considering he is the longer-serving player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amad has hinted at a major switch in the works, and it could rely on Manchester United team-mate…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2922,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[3899,3902,3905,3906,3898,3901,3908,3907,3900,220,221,3904,62,3903,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-2921","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-amad-diallo","9":"tag-football-section","10":"tag-man-utd-news","11":"tag-man-utd-transfer-news","12":"tag-manchester-united-fc","13":"tag-marcus-rashford","14":"tag-newcastle-news","15":"tag-newcastle-transfer-news","16":"tag-newcastle-united-fc","17":"tag-premier-league","18":"tag-soccer","19":"tag-sport-section","20":"tag-sports","21":"tag-transfer-news-section","22":"tag-united-states","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114722529821168906","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
