Manchester United have taken a ruthless approach when it comes to informing players that they are surplus to requirements this summer. The now-notorious bomb squad - featuring Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia - has taken centre stage.
Rashford sealed a season-long loan switch to Barcelona, who have the option to buy him for around £26million next summer. And while Garnacho, Antony, Sancho and Malacia are yet to find new clubs, the quartet are widely expected to depart before the September 1 deadline eventually.
Amorim's cut-throat decisions have extended beyond those five players who have been training away from his squad since the start of pre-season.
Rasmus Hojlund is the latest player to learn that he does not feature in the Portuguese head coach's plans this season.
After scoring twice in a 4-1 victory against Bournemouth in Chicago, Hojlund played 18 minutes against Everton and was an unused substitute in United's final pre-season friendly against Fiorentina at Old Trafford.
Amorim then excluded the 22-year-old striker from his squad entirely for the Premier League opener with Arsenal, a 1-0 defeat on Sunday.
Hojlund has reportedly been informed that minutes will be challenging to come by this term, sparking a potential move to Napoli.

Antonio Conte wants the Dane after a long-term injury to Romelu Lukaku, and the interest is believed to be mutual.
United's outcasts may not stop there, though, because business is also moving when it comes to potential incomings.
According to talkSPORT, the Red Devils have already agreed on personal terms with Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens.
The 23-year-old Belgian has emerged as Amorim's top target to solve his goalkeeper dilemma, with both Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir failing to convince.

Onana was also absent from United's squad to face Arsenal, considering he had trained just three times after returning from a hamstring injury that ruled him out of pre-season.
Ahead of Sunday's trip to Fulham, Amorim has confirmed that the Cameroonian is available.
Therefore, another exclusion, especially with the Lammens links heating up, would be a telling indicator of the direction of travel.
Lammens could arrive at Old Trafford even if Onana stayed, but the prospect of a demotion to Amorim's third-choice stopper could be all he needs to explore his options.
