Marcus Rashford is one of five players to inform Manchester United that he wishes to leave the club this summer, according to various reports.
It is claimed that Rashford, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, is joined by Jadon Sancho, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia in telling the club they want to leave Old Trafford.
Rashford, 27, has been at United since 2005, coming through the academy before making his debut as an 18-year-old in the UEFA Europa League against Danish side FC Midtjylland in 2016, where he scored two goals to overtake George Best as the youngest European goalscorer in the club’s history.
He continued to impress as United went on to win the Europa League that season, also winning two FA Cups and two League Cups and scoring 138 goals in 426 matches.
Unai Emery's side have decided not to sign Rashford permanently, and the England international has since been linked with a move to European giants Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
His No. 10 shirt has reportedly been given to summer signing Matheus Cunha.

Sancho joined United to great fanfare in 2021 for a fee of £73m, but relations soured between the winger and then-manager Erik ten Hag, which led to him spending the last 18 months on loan at former club Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea.
The Blues opted not to make Sancho’s loan deal permanent and instead to pay a £5m penalty to send him back to Old Trafford, and he is now being linked with a move to Juventus.
Antony joined the year after Sancho for a fee of £85m from Ajax, making him the second most expensive signing in United’s history.
Having scored just 12 goals in 96 appearances, the 25-year-old was loaned to Real Betis, where he came up against Sancho in the UEFA Conference League final.

The Spanish club are hoping to make the move for the Brazilian permanent after he impressed, scoring nine goals in 26 matches.
It has been reported that Man Utd are willing to lower their initial asking price of £60m in an effort to get Garnacho off their books, with the Argentina international linked with a move to Chelsea.

Malacia moved to Old Trafford in 2022 for a fee of £13m from Dutch side Feyenoord, but after missing the entirety of the 2023/24 season with injury, he was loaned back to the Eredivisie to join PSV Eindhoven in January.
The report claims none of the five will take part in pre-season training at Carrington amid a likely exodus as Amorim looks to re-shape the squad to fit his style of play.
The medical facilities will remain open for each player to use, but Amorim is hoping they will all find a new club before the transfer window shuts on September 1.
United have already secured the signing of Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers for a fee of £62.5m.
There have been two failed bids to sign winger Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, while there have also been links for Amorim to be re-united with Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres.
