Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim will now have the final say over what happens next with one first-team player at Old Trafford, according to stunning reports.
The 2025 summer transfer window has concluded for several top-flight leagues in Europe, but the market remains open for clubs in other countries around the world.
Manchester United still have the option to offload further players who are deemed surplus to requirements under Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford amid the new season.
Amorim has been able to revamp his United first-team squad this summer with the arrival of five new summer signings and the axing of other players from the Red Devils.
United have been able to loan out Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund and Jadon Sancho, while Alejandro Garnacho and Antony completed permanent transfers away.
