Five Manchester United stars have told Ruben Amorim they do not want to play for the club next season and have been granted extra time off to find a new team.
United players are due to report back to Carrington for the start of pre-season training on Monday morning with new signing Matheus Cunha set to be among them.
The Brazil international will be handed the no10 shirt with United opting to take it from Rashford to hand to their new arrival.
Rashford is one of five players desperate to leave Old Trafford with Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony all expressing their desire to leave after talks with the club.
Tyrell Malacia has also informed United he wants a new challenge away from Manchester.

United head out to the US for their pre-season tour later this month with the quintet unlikely to be involved if they fail to secure a move away before then.
Rashford is still hoping to secure a dream move to Barcelona.
Those hopes were given a major boost this week after Barcelona’s proposed move for Nico Williams fell through with the Athletic Bilbao star instead signing a new long-term deal with the Basque club.
United want £40million for the England international but Barcelona are thought to prefer an initial loan deal.
The Premier League giants meanwhile want £25m for Sancho who remains in talks with Juventus.
Chelsea were unable to agree terms with the winger following his loan spell at the club last season and instead paid a £5m penalty fee to get out of their obligation to buy him.
Antony starred on loan at Real Betis last season with the La Liga side eager to bring him back for the new campaign. Betis want another loan arrangement, something United are not currently prepared to agree to.
Garnacho represents perhaps United’s most valuable asset out of that group of players, looking for £70m for the Argentina international.
Aston Villa, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Napoli, and Bayer Leverkusen have all shown interest with the winger’s preference to remain in England.
Malacia meanwhile arrived at United in 2022 as a low-cost option at left-back.
Knee injuries have derailed his Old Trafford career however, shipped out on loan to PSV Eindhoven by Amorim in January.
