While most headlines surrounding Manchester United’s summer have focused on exciting arrivals like Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, the reality is that outgoings remain a pressing issue for the club behind the scenes.
Ruben Amorim has made it clear he wants a leaner, more focused group – and with Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof already gone, more exits are needed to free up funds and space.
Yet players remain in limbo, with Antony’s future unresolved with his next destination remaining uncertain.
While Jadon Sancho is still training away from the first team, unlikely to be reintegrated unless a significant shift occurs.
Dortmund remain linked with his signature, especially since the Englishman has appeared to agree to a wage cut.
Both face the possibility of spending the entire season in exile if no solutions are found.
Amorim is refusing to compromise on his squad standards, as he looks to bring a new, fresh culture to Old Trafford on and off the pitch.
Alejandro Garnacho is another whose future is uncertain.
Chelsea have long remained in the picture, actively working on a deal to bring the Argentine winger to Stamford Bridge.
Garnacho is understood to be waiting on Chelsea’s next steps, and remains keen to stay in England despite interest from abroad.
And now, in a shock development, former United boss Jose Mourinho has made a move of his own.
According to a CaughtOffside’s report, Fenerbahce have made early contact with Manchester United to explore a surprise transfer to Istanbul.
The Turkish giants are pushing to convince the player to consider the switch.
However, as expected, they face an uphill battle – particularly given their limited European pedigree and the player’s preference to remain in top leagues.
While Mourinho’s interest adds intrigue, Fenerbahce’s chances hinge on whether Chelsea back away from the deal – and if the player’s stance softens in the coming weeks.
