The futures of Jadon Sancho, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, and Tyrell Malacia remain unsettled as none feature in Amorim\u2019s plans or the preseason tour in the United States. These players have been asked to stay away from first-team training sessions during the day.<\/p>\n<p>Amorim warned interested clubs that delaying bids could backfire. \u201cJason [Wilcox], Omar Berrada and the club have a number for these players,\u201d he said in New Jersey ahead of the club&#8217;s friendly against West Ham United. \u201cIf they don\u2019t reach that, they will be Manchester United players, no doubt about that. Some players have to find a new place so we have more space in the team and other players clearly show they want a new challenge and want new teams. We are just allowing these players to have time to think and to decide. I understand the [buying] clubs are waiting for the last minute but they can have a surprise. I\u2019m ready to receive the players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Attempts to move Sancho, valued at \u00a325 million ($33.6 million), have stalled, notably with Juventus pausing their interest as they need to offload players after signing Francisco Concei\u00e7ao. Antony\u2019s potential return to Real Betis is unlikely due to financial constraints, and despite rumors, Bayer Leverkusen has been distanced from pursuit by former United manager Erik ten Hag. Two unnamed Saudi Pro League clubs currently represent his best options, though the winger prefers to remain in Europe if possible.<\/p>\n<p>Should no suitable offers materialize, Amorim suggests these players will stay and be reintegrated into the squad. This signals a clear message that Manchester United will neither be hurried into unfavorable deals nor leave valuable squad members in limbo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ruben Amorim confirms Manchester United won\u2019t sell key players cheaply as transfer window closes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":621,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[179],"tags":[227,226,196,277],"class_list":["post-622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-manchester-united","tag-alejandro-garnacho","tag-antony","tag-jadon-sancho","tag-ruben-amorim"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=622"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":623,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622\/revisions\/623"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
