Manchester United supports Amorim's decision to exclude Garnacho! Selling the "Five Mice" at a low price, valued at 300 million at its peak, now selling for less than 100 million this summer.

On Tuesday, Manchester United will fly to Chicago, USA. New signing Mbemo made it in time, but the "Five Mice" in the locker room—Rashford, Sancho, Garnacho, Antony, and Malacia—will be left behind in Carrington for individual training, except for Rashford, who has already flown to Barcelona to finalize his transfer.

Twenty-one years ago, Manchester United first traveled to the windy city of Chicago, with many stars not accompanying the team, as Cristiano Ronaldo and others participated in the European Championship, Copa America, or were preparing for the Athens Olympics. Only Roy Keane was a star on the trip, and after a 0-0 draw against Bayern Munich at Soldier Field, the crowd booed, forcing Sir Alex to temporarily call up star players.

However, this time, the absence of five players is unlikely to provoke complaints from fans, and the club strongly supports Ruben Amorim's decision to exclude them. Amorim believes that taking the remaining four players, referred to by the British media as the "bomb squad," would distract the other players.

This is different from last year when Ten Hag seemingly reconciled with the feuding Sancho, who traveled with the team to the USA, even participating in the Community Shield and missing a penalty. This helped Manchester United offload him, and the 25-year-old England winger was ultimately loaned to Chelsea.

If Manchester United had brought Garnacho along, it might have helped in selling him later, preventing other teams from driving the price down. However, Amorim wants a fresh start, and he has the club's backing; Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Ineos management team will have to accept a lower price for the remaining "Five Mice."

Keeping them in Manchester is better for team morale, but it will certainly cost the club a significant amount this summer. This clearly indicates that these players are no longer needed, hence their peak value of 350 million pounds has plummeted, and Manchester United has lost their negotiating power.

Rashford, at 27 years old and coming off a season with 30 goals, was valued at over 100 million pounds by Manchester United. Now, even if he performs excellently on loan at Barcelona for a season, the Red Devils can only expect to receive 30 million euros (26 million pounds). This is almost half of the 40 million pounds buyout clause agreed upon in his loan to Aston Villa.

In January, Napoli's 40 million pound bid for Garnacho was firmly rejected by Manchester United, who demanded 70 million pounds at the time. Now, the Red Devils' asking price is still 60 million pounds, but if they can net 45 million pounds from the transfer of the 21-year-old Argentine winger, it would be considered a success.

Three years ago, Antony transferred from Ajax for 86 million pounds (100 million euros), becoming the second most expensive player in Manchester United's history. However, his current value is certainly not half of that amount, and the club might consider offers below 35 million pounds.

Despite Antony transforming into a "round god" at Real Betis, very few teams have made genuine offers, and Betis can only provide a transfer fee of 25 million pounds, with a weekly wage of just 50,000 pounds. The 200,000 pounds weekly wage initially offered by Manchester United to the Brazilian winger has become one of the major obstacles.

Sancho's transfer fee upon joining Manchester United reached 73 million pounds, but now the selling price is likely only 15 million pounds, and the club will have to subsidize part of his wages. The 25-year-old "Big Joe" has just 11 months left on his contract, and Juventus is interested; the Red Devils' stance is to sell for whatever they can get.

Tyrell Malacia transferred from Feyenoord for 15 million pounds, becoming Ten Hag's first signing during his tenure. Last season, he was loaned to PSV Eindhoven, where the team won the championship, but he was only a backup. Upon returning to Manchester United, the club would be happy to sell him for just 3 million pounds, significantly lower than the 9 million pounds buyout clause in his PSV loan agreement.

With Rashford at zero loan fee, Garnacho at 45 million pounds, Antony at 35 million pounds, Sancho at 15 million pounds, and Malacia at 3 million pounds, the potential income from Manchester United's "Five Mice" this summer may not even reach 100 million pounds.

Sir Jim will argue that they are cleaning up the "mess" left by the previous management, and after spending over 130 million pounds on signing Cunha and Mbemo, they must sell off excess players to recoup funds. Some players who traveled with the team to the USA for training may also be sold at low prices in the future, such as striker Hojlund and goalkeeper Altay Bayındır.
