How 10 Man Utd Exits Are Faring in New Homes From Garnacho’s Chelsea to Rashford’s Barcelona Move
After Manchester United’s worst Premier League finish, ten senior players departed this summer. From Rashford’s bright Barcelona start to Garnacho’s Chelsea frustrations, their early journeys show mixed fortunes across Europe.
Manchester United’s record-low Premier League finish forced sweeping changes in the summer, with 10 senior players moving on. Here’s how each has started life away from Old Trafford.
Alejandro Garnacho
Last summer Grancho moved to Chelsea from manchester United
The £40m move to Chelsea was supposed to be Garnacho’s big step forward, but so far, the Argentine winger has struggled to impress. His first start came in the Carabao Cup against Lincoln City, where he failed to make an impact and was jeered throughout by opposition supporters. It’s early, but Chelsea fans are still waiting to see the spark he showed in flashes at United.
Marcus Rashford
Last summer Rashford moved to Barcelona from manchester United
Perhaps the most high-profile exit, Rashford joined Barcelona on loan and immediately reminded fans of his quality. A stunning Champions League double against Newcastle showed his star power. However, he ran into trouble after arriving late for training, leading to a benching. Even with the setback, his overall impact in Spain has been positive.
Antony
Last summer Anthony moved to Betis from manchester United
The Brazilian winger returned to familiar ground with Real Betis, a club where he previously enjoyed success on loan. While Antony looks more comfortable in La Liga than in England, his attacking output has yet to match expectations, with no goals or assists so far this campaign. Still, there is belief he can reignite his career in Spain.
Rasmus Højlund
Last summer Hojlund moved to Napoli from manchester United
Højlund reluctantly departed for Napoli on loan, and he wasted no time making an impression. The Danish striker scored on his Serie A debut, providing the confidence boost he lacked at United. For a player criticised for inconsistency in Manchester, Italy already looks like the right stage for him.
André Onana
Last summer Onana moved to Trabzonspor from manchester United
After losing his starting spot at United, Onana moved to Turkey to rebuild. His debut was shaky, but he quickly bounced back by notching an assist in his second game. Clean sheets are still missing, but he appears motivated to rediscover the form that once made him a Champions League standout.
Jadon Sancho
Last summer Sancho moved to Villa from manchester United
Sancho joined Aston Villa on loan but has yet to find his rhythm. He’s seen just eight Premier League minutes so far, plus a longer run in the Carabao Cup where Villa crashed out on penalties. It’s another frustrating chapter for the winger, who badly needs consistent playing time.
Victor Lindelöf
Like Sancho, Lindelöf moved to Villa Park but has been on the fringes. His only appearance came in a seven-minute cameo against Everton. Once a reliable figure at Old Trafford, the Swedish defender now faces a fight for relevance in a new squad.
Christian Eriksen
The Danish midfielder signed for Wolfsburg on a free transfer but has barely featured. His single substitute outing came in a defeat to Borussia Dortmund, and he faced criticism in Denmark for training with Malmo before joining his new club. The veteran still has the vision, but sharpness may take time to return.
Toby Collyer
The young midfielder headed to West Brom for Championship experience. He’s featured in every league game so far but only as a substitute. The hope is that regular minutes at this level will accelerate his development, even if he’s yet to start under Ryan Mason’s management.
Harry Amass
Amass joined Sheffield Wednesday, a club in crisis, and has been thrust straight into action. The 17-year-old started both league matches since arriving, playing in an advanced role on the left. For such a young prospect, the exposure could be invaluable, even if the team’s struggles add pressure.
