CONFIRM: Man United announced the squad for the US Tour: 4 names OUT; The End for Fred
After the victory over Lyon, Manchester United officially announced the list to attend the summer tour in the US.
Man Utd had the second friendly match to win when defeating Lyon with a score of 1-0. The only scorer of the game was Donny van de Beek. The Dutch midfielder took the pressure off with a quick entry into the box and a sharp finish.
After the match ended, coach Erik ten Hag’s teachers and students did not return to Manchester. On the contrary, they took a flight from Scotland to the US to begin an important summer tour. There, Coach Ten Hag will have the final tests to assemble the squad.
In addition to familiar faces like Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes or rookie Mason Mount, the Old Trafford team decided to name four players. One of them is Fred.
The Brazilian midfielder is linked with leaving Old Trafford this summer. Accordingly, Fulham is the club interested in a transfer agreement. Man Utd announced: “Fred is absent due to personal problems but is expected to join the rest of the team soon.”
However, Man Utd’s move actually shows that they are about to sell out the Brazilian midfielder. It should be known that Fred has just played against Lyon, so the fact that he did not have a name with his teammates moving to the US raised suspicions.
Alex Telles and Eric Bailly were also absent from the Reds’ initial roster. The Old Trafford team is planning to part ways with both players when it is no longer in the plan of coach Erik ten Hag.
Telles, who spent last season on loan at Sevilla, is close to joining Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr in a deal worth £4m plus extra fees. Meanwhile, Bailly is also looking for a new club and is not joining the team.
The fourth player absent is Tyrell Malacia. The Dutch defender has not yet gone to the US and has to stay at the Carrington training center to continue his injury recovery process.
Quite surprising when 3 players rumored to be leaving Man Utd, Van de Beek, Dean Henderson and Harry Maguire were still present. Jonny Evans will separate from the group. He still went to the US but went with the youth team. The opportunity for Evans to be retained by Man Utd is still there if he continues to perform well.
Meanwhile, Andre Onana was at Man Utd headquarters to complete a £ 47 million transfer from Inter Milan. The Cameroonian goalkeeper, who worked with Ten Hag at Ajax, is expected to reunite in the United States after completing all the paperwork.
Of course Mason Greenwood, who is currently suspended, cannot be named on this trip until a final conclusion from Man Utd.
List of Man Utd players for the summer tour of 2023:
Goalkeepers: Nathan Bishop, Tom Heaton, Dean Henderson, Radek Vitek.
Defenders: Diogo Dalot, Alvaro Fernandez, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Brandon Williams.
Midfielders: Amad, Antony, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes, Dan Gore, Hannibal, Kobbie Mainoo, Scott McTominay, Mason Mount, Facundo Pellistri, Jadon Sancho, Donny van de Beek.
Forwards: Anthony Elanga, Omari Forson, Alejandro Garnacho, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford.
