Expose Manchester United's determination of Amorim's retention process! The official announcement of the list of Asian trips, Garnacho was asked to participate

British media revealed that Manchester United had confirmed the retention of Ruben Amorim within 48 hours of the Europa League defeat. After the game, he flew to Monaco, where owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe lives all year round, and was assured that he would continue to coach next season and will be backed to rebuild his squad in the summer window.

Manchester United have had a poor season in the Premier League, losing 18 of their 38 Premier League games and finishing 15th. The 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League completely dashed the team's hopes of saving a disastrous season, missing out on European competition, and affecting financial revenue. However, Athletic revealed that Amorim was scheduled to travel to Monaco last Friday to attend the club's monthly executive committee meetings.

On his return to Manchester, Amorim announced to the squad in the dressing room that he would continue to lead the team. On the same day, the Manchester United boss also informed Argentina winger Garnacho in front of the whole squad that he had no future in his plans and could find another home in the summer window, and the 20-year-old Academy talent was also excluded from the final round of Premier League squads.

It is reported that Garnacho had hoped to leave the team immediately and go on holiday, as he said after the Europa League game. But Amorim demanded that he travel with the club to Asia for the next two commercial matches, from which the club could earn £8 million. Under the contract, the Red Devils are required to bring in all key players who are not injured.

Speaking after the win over Villa, Amorim said: "Garnacho is still a Manchester United player, even though he is not in the team today, he is still our player. So, he'll fly with the whole team to the playoff tour. We need to give our all and give back to the fans on the other side of the world."

Manchester United's official 32-man squad for the Asian tour is missing two injured players, Mazraoui and Leni Yoro. In addition, Victor Lindelof and Eriksen, whose contracts are about to expire, are also not involved, and they will be on a free transfer, so injuries need to be avoided. Evans is also out of contract, but he is about to retire, so there is no worry and he will travel with the team to Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong SAR to say goodbye to the local fans.

De Ligt and Zirkze both missed the final Premier League tie with Villa through injury, but they still travelled with the squad. Diogu Darlow, who was substituted after coming off the bench against Villa, was also included in the squad.

Amorim has also called up several Academy youngsters who have not featured for the first team, including Dan Armer, Godwill Kukonki, Jaydan Kamason, Reece Munro, Tyler Fletcher, Jack Moorhouse and Jim Thwaites) and Shea Lacey, the most famous of all.

Manchester United have already departed directly on Malaysia Airlines flights hours after the match against Villa, starting with the ASEAN All-Stars at the 84,000-capacity Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday and the 40,000-capacity Hong Kong Stadium on Friday.

Although in the group photo before boarding, the Manchester United players squeezed out a smile. However, many of the main players will have a very tight schedule, and according to FIFA, Manchester United must have 31 May to report their players to the national team for international matches.

UEFA Nations League and World Cup qualifiers will take place in early June, with Portugal, for example, played by captain Bruno Fernandes, taking on Germany in the semi-finals of the Nations League on 5 June.

Manchester United's 32-man squad for Asia tour: Andre Onana, Altay Bayndir, Tom Heaton; Harry Amas, Amer, Darlow, De Ligt, Patrick Dolgu, Evans, Taylor Frederickson, Eden Haven, Carmarthen, Kukongi, Maguire, Munro, Luke Shaw; Casemiro, Toby Collier, B Fee, Taylor Fletcher, Sekou Koné, Kobe Maynor, Moorhouse, Mason Mount, Swaites, Ugarte; Garnacho, Amad Diallo, Hojlund, Lacey, Chedo Obi, Zirkze.
