Rúben Amorim NOT IMPRESSED with seven Manchester United first-team players this season, puts them all up for sale.
Rúben Amorim isn’t waiting for formalities as he prepares to take charge at Manchester United — the incoming boss has already made headlines with his no-nonsense attitude and bold early decisions. In a passionate press conference, Amorim made it clear that he’s far from satisfied with the current squad, pointing out that several players fall short of the standards he expects for a club of United’s stature.
The Portuguese manager didn’t mince words, admitting he’s closely observed the squad and has been left unimpressed. According to him, only those with the hunger, ambition, and modern mentality to match his vision will have a future at Old Trafford. While Amorim refrained from publicly naming the players he’s ready to move on, sources inside the club have disclosed a list of seven first-team stars who are now considered surplus to requirements — and some of the names are surprising.
Among them is Antony, the big-money signing from Ten Hag’s reign whose erratic form and lack of influence in big matches have raised eyebrows. Jadon Sancho, despite currently being on loan at Borussia Dortmund, has reportedly been told there’s no path back under Amorim. Club captain Harry Maguire is also on the chopping block, with the manager eager to revamp the defense into a faster, more aggressive unit.
Scott McTominay, a long-serving midfielder and occasional fan favorite, is said to be part of the clear-out as well, as Amorim looks to freshen up the engine room. Fellow defenders Victor Lindelöf and Aaron Wan-Bissaka face similar fates — the former seen as expendable in a revamped backline, and the latter considered ill-suited to Amorim’s preference for adventurous, attacking full-backs. Veteran playmaker Christian Eriksen, now 32, is expected to be phased out too, with Amorim intent on injecting youth and energy into midfield.
Amorim’s message is direct: reputation alone won’t save anyone. The new manager plans to build a squad founded on intensity, tactical awareness, and a relentless work ethic. Every player must fight for their place, with no room for complacency or passengers. His vision is one of a faster, younger, and tactically sharp Manchester United — one capable of challenging at the top once again. The winds of change are already sweeping through Old Trafford, and Amorim’s ruthless approach signals the start of a dramatic rebuild.
