Rubem Amorim 'set to banish FOUR Man United outcasts' from pre-season tour as he prepares for Old Trafford rebuild

Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho will reportedly all be exiled from Manchester United 's pre-season tour of the US.
The outcasts will be made to train alone at Carrington if they haven't found new sides when the tour begins in July as Ruben Amorim looks to exert his authority at the club.
The Portuguese boss endured a dreadful first campaign at Old Trafford, leading United to a 15th place finish in the Premier League, their lowest since relegation in 1974.
They were also beaten by Tottenham in the Europa League final in Bilbao last month, meaning they won't be competing in European competition next season for just the second time in 35 years.
The campaign was capped by a disastrous post-season tour to Asia which saw the Red Devils humiliatingly lose to exhibition side ASEAN All-Stars, while Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo came under pressure for altercations with fans.
A summer rebuild has began with United sealing a £62.5million deal for Matheus Cunha earlier this month, while they are heavily linked with Brentford 's Bryan Mbeumo.
Amorim only wants players who will 'die for the shirt', and is therefore set to axe the castaway quartet.
A club source told The Sun: 'Amorim is stamping his authority on the club. It was hard arriving mid-season but he now has the opportunity to shape the team in his image. And he's wasting no time.
'He only wants players who would die for the shirt and are on board with his ideas.
'He also wants a smaller squad to create an intimate team bond so that everyone gets enough game time to be at peak fitness when called upon. He doesn't want any bad apples or distractions.'
United's US tour begins against West Ham in New Jersey on July 26 less than two months after their post-season tour to Malaysia and Hong Kong concluded.
They then play Bournemouth in Chicago on July 30, before taking on Everton in Atlanta four days later.
Amorim's side face Arsenal in the opening weekend of the season and he will hope his squad has drastically improved by then.
While he has been assured there are funds available to bolster United, the transfer budget will be increased if they can offload Rashford, Garnacho, Antony or Sancho.
They have moved quick to bolster their squad and already completed a £62.5m deal for Cunha
Sancho has reportedly agreed personal terms with Napoli but United have slapped a €25m (£21.3m) transfer fee on the 25-year-old, which is said to be too much for the Italian champions.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are eyeing-up a shock move for Rashford, who has been exiled at Old Trafford after being loaned to Aston Villa for the second half of last season.
Garnacho is set to leave Old Trafford after a public spat with boss Amorim over being benched for the Europa League final.

Pirates' Dennis Santana involved in altercation with fan

June 20 - Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Dennis Santana was involved in an incident in which a fan was ejected from the nightcap of a doubleheader against the host Detroit Tigers on Thursday night. A spokesperson for the Tigers confirmed the fan was removed from Comerica Park after the altercation, which happened by the visitors' bullpen and caught on video. Santana, who said the altercation happened around the seventh inning, leapt at the fan in one video in an attempt to land a punch. Another video's angle shows Santana pointing at the fan before jumping near the bullpen wall to take a swing, which did not land. "You guys know me and know my temper," Santana told reporters via an interpreter after the game. "I'm a calm person. They just crossed the line a few times. I would like to leave it like that." "I'm still gathering facts," Pirates manager Don Kelly said. "I don't have enough information to really comment on that at all." Santana came in with the score tied in the ninth inning, then returned to the game following a 75-minute rain delay and recorded one out. Pittsburgh won 8-4 in 10 innings to split the doubleheader. In the 10th inning, another situation involving Santana's teammate Tommy Pham occurred, with security removing fans who apparently heckled the veteran outfielder, per The Athletic. Pham did not hold a postgame interview with reporters. "I didn't see it," Kelly said. "I guess fans were saying something to him, and he didn't take kindly to it. Security did a great job of de-escalating that situation pretty quick." --Field Level Media

Bryan Mbeumo signs, Marcus Rashford departs - Man Utd's next transfer moves

A busy summer is expected at Old Trafford and Carrington as Manchester United are left with no option but to back Ruben Amorim or face another year of desperate struggle Matheus Cunha is signed and ready to deliver after his £62.5m arrival from Wolves but that should just be the start of a long and hectic summer at Manchester United. Ruben Amorim's squad needs significant revamping following the nightmare campaign just gone and chief executive Omar Berrada says the club's target remains winning the Premier League in 2028. ‌ But everyone under the sun knows that the club must persuade other clubs to sign high-earning misfits for them to fund further new signings - with outgoings now the top priority despite continued interest in Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo. ‌ Here is where things stand with 81 days left in the transfer window. Mbeumo chase United know that their attack needs drastic improvement if the gap is to be closed in 2025-26 and Mbeumo has proven his Premier League chops by excelling at Brentford. However this deal is complicated by two factors. Spurs are also interested, having just appointed Thomas Frank from the Bees and Mbeumo may decide working with his old boss and playing in the Champions League is a better option. Plus he would not have to relocate. United aren't in Europe and the fact is that if they are to sign him there must be a number of unwanted stars heading for the exit. Ekitike doubts That second point also applies to any pursuit of Eintracht Frankfurt's forward Hugo Ekitike, who carries the red flag of having no experience of English football and just one prolific year in the Bundesliga. ‌ Eintracht are under no obligation to sell and what a big sum. United have taken similar risks in recent seasons that have backfired spectacularly. Rashford interest Then there are the exits and none are more high profile than Marcus Rashford, the homegrown hero no longer with a future at Old Trafford. ‌ His loan at Aston Villa last season went well before injury cut it short and a return there appears unlikely. Barcelona have been linked, talk of a switch to Newcastle has been dismissed. But it is probably beneficial to all parties for a deal to be agreed. Sancho to Naples Similar can be applied to Jadon Sancho. Chelsea paid £5m not to sign him following his mixed bag loan and recent reports suggest Napoli would be keen on bringing him in, joining Scott McTominay. ‌ But, yet again, there appears to be a snag regarding the financial make-up of a move. Garnacho conundrum Reports immediately after the Europa League final suggested that the Argentina attacker was told he could leave if he finds a new club. But he still went on a money-spinning post-season tour in Asia and there have been crickets since. ‌ He is one of few players who could earn a considerable fee, which also means he is one of few players with the natural ability to shine in a successful United side. Expect talk around his future to drag on to the September 1 window. Who else can go? We know Bruno Fernandes will stay because he turned down the Saudi riches but beyond that anyone could go if a good offer comes in. That, according to past reports, includes Kobbie Mainoo, Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund, who is yet to catch fire after two seasons since arriving for £72m from Atalanta.

BREAKING NEWS Dodgers fan protesting ICE removed from game by security hours after agents descended on stadium

A Los Angeles Dodgers fan was reportedly removed from their stadium by security on Thursday night for holding a sign that was allegedly protesting ICE's presence in the city. Footage posted to social media by a Dodgers beat writer showed the fan being led out as Shohei Ohtani and his teammates played against the San Diego Padres. The female fan could be seen in the clip with a sign in her hand, which reportedly read 'ICE out of LA'. The fan was given a huge round of applause by fans sitting near her as she held the sign aloft while being led up the steps and out of the stadium. Daily Mail has reached out to the Dodgers for comment. It came after the Dodgers said earlier on Thursday that they had asked ICE agents to leave their stadium grounds after they arrived at a parking lot near one of the gates. Security appears to be escorting a fan out holding a sign that says 'ICE out of LA.' — Fabian Ardaya (@FabianArdaya) June 20, 2025 Dozens of federal agents with their faces covered arrived in SUVs and cargo vans to a lot near the stadium's Gate E entrance. A group of protesters carrying signs against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement started amassing shortly after. 'This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization,' the team said in a statement posted on X. However, ICE later posted on X that its agents were never there. Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, said the agents were with Customs and Border Protection and that they were not trying to enter the stadium. 'This had nothing to do with the Dodgers. (Customs and Border Protection) vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement,' she said. Television cameras showed about four agents remained at the lot Thursday afternoon while officers with the Los Angeles Police Department stood between them and dozens of protesters, some carrying signs that read 'I Like My Ice Crushed' and chanting 'ICE out of LA!' Council member Eunisses Hernandez arrived at the stadium and said she had been in communication with Dodger officials and the mayor´s office. 'We've been in communication with the mayor's office, with the Dodgers, with Dodgers security, about seeing if they can get them moved off their private property,' she told KABC-TV. 'Public property is different. Private property - businesses and corporations have the power to say, "Not on my property," and so we're waiting to see that movement happen here.' Protests began June 6 after federal immigration raids arrested dozens of workers in Los Angeles. Protesters blocked a major freeway and set cars on fire the following days, and police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and flash-bang grenades. The team has yet to make a statement regarding the arrests and raids. The Dodgers´ heavily Latino fan base has been pushing for the team to make a public statement and ignited a debate online about its stance on the immigration crackdown happening in Los Angeles. The Dodgers had been expected to issue a statement of support toward Los Angeles-area communities affected by immigration enforcement, but no statement had been released by 5pm Thursday. 'Because of the events earlier today, we continue to work with groups that were involved with our programs,' Dodgers President Stan Kasten told a small group of reporters. 'But we are going to have to delay today's announcement while we firm up some more details.' The Trump administration has activated more than 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines over the objections of city and state leaders. Dozens of troops now guard federal buildings and protect federal agents making arrests. The demonstrations have been mostly concentrated downtown in the city of around 4 million people. Thousands of people have peacefully rallied outside City Hall and hundreds more protested outside a federal complex that includes a detention center where some immigrants are being held following workplace raids. Despite the protests, immigration enforcement activity has continued throughout the county, with city leaders and community groups reporting ICE present at libraries, car washes and Home Depots. School graduations in Los Angeles have increased security over fears of ICE action and some have offered parents the option to watch on Zoom.
