Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has made it clear that the club will be selling players this summer, and probably a lot of them. According to British media, players including academy aces Garnacho and Kobe Mayno can be sold as long as there is a reasonable offer to raise funds to rebuild the squad that the new coach wants.

Manchester United sent Antony, Marcus Rashford and Tyrell Malacia on loan in the January winter transfer window, with Aston Villa having an option to buy Marcus in the summer and PSV Eindhoven also having a clause to buy Malacia. At the same time, the Red Devils, who have struggled to score goals, have not brought in a new striker, leaving everything to the summer window.

Ten Hag spent £200 million to sign five players after renewing his contract last year, only to be sacked due to poor results, which overdrawn the club's cash. Now, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has no choice but to keep cutting staff and cutting costs, as the club has lost £300 million in the past three years and is at risk of financial irregularities.

Therefore, if the club wants to buy people, I am afraid that it will have to sell people first. Speaking at his pre-match press conference on the Premier League trip to Tottenham, Amorim said: 'Our biggest problem right now is Tottenham, but I also know the current situation of the club and I have to understand all the problems, it's not new. Everybody knows the rules of financial fair play and we are having difficulties at the moment, but that doesn't stop me from preparing for the next game and coaching the team. At the moment my focus is on the game and nothing else. The situation is actually very simple, if we want to buy someone, we must first sell. So, I'm focused on preparing now because the transfer can't go ahead and now the window is closed. Let's play the game first, especially the next one, and then talk about the rest in the summer."

Amorim is ready to launch a purge, and the British media revealed that in the three months since he coached, he has kept a distance from the players, but the relationship between colleagues is not very close. According to the Manchester Evening News, the 40-year-old Portuguese is preparing to sell and does not want emotional factors to influence his decision.

Former United boss Erik ten Hag has a better relationship with his players, which is no surprise given that he has brought in most of the players, including Lisandro Martinez, Antony and Andre Onana, who are descendants of Ajax, while Garnacho and Mayno are his Academy favourites.

United interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy also has a good relationship with his players, with one player relishing the skills of the former Dutch goalscorer, while Casemiro likes to communicate with him in Spanish, having played for Real Madrid and Malaga in La Liga.

However, Amorim distanced himself from the player and he plans to make major personnel changes in the summer. United's new boss has cleared the likes of Marcus Rashford for his poor training attitude. Understandably, Amorim also wants to bring in players who are more suited to his playing system.

British media revealed that only two players are closely linked to Amorim, namely Portuguese compatriots Bruno Fernandes and Diogu Darlow. Last month, Amorim admitted he did not have a close relationship with the player.

"Sometimes the details really matter, like a pre-season training camp where you spend three or four weeks together and create something." "I want them to get to know me in a different way and not always prepare for the game with pressure. We don't have time to do that at the moment, and I think that's important, that's the team's secret. Even if you have the best players, it will feel difficult to win if you can't be a unit. So I'd like to build something similar here, but we'll need time."
