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.
