With pre-season underway and the new Premier League season edging closer, Manchester United are focusing on both incomings and outgoings.
Having already signed Matheus Cunha, who played his first minutes for United in the pre-season fixture vs Leeds, United are edging closer to securing the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford.
However, as important as signings are for United, the outgoings are equally as important.
Ruben Amorim is looking to revamp his squad, aiming for a group of players who are talented, hard working and have the mentality to succeed at a club the size of United.
Amorim has been clear in which players he wants out of the club, with five players training alone at Carrington as the search for a move away from the club.

One of these players, Marcus Rashford, is edging closer to completing a move to Barcelona.
United and Rashford have been exploring a departure ever since he returned from his loan spell at Aston Villa.
A verbal agreement has now been reached between United and Barcelona for a loan deal with an option to buy.
While United would have preferred a permanent transfer, Barcelona have reportedly agreed to cover all of Rashford’s wages during the loan, providing significant financial relief for United.
Likely to be a key factor in getting the deal over the line.

However, according to Ben Jacobs, Rashford has accepted a big pay cut in a bid to seal his move away.
Rashford will be earning €5 million net salary during the loan deal, a huge cut from his £17 million gross wage he is currently earning at United.
Barcelona will be covering all of this fee.
🚨🚨🌕| Marcus Rashford will earn around €5M net at Barcelona — fully covered by the club.
Manchester United won’t pay a cent, as Rashford has accepted a massive pay cut.
