Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho have all informed the club they want to leave Manchester United.
As a result, United have delayed their required return date until later in July to allow them time to explore potential solutions further. The rest of the squad will begin reporting back from Monday.
If their futures are not resolved during this period, they will be return to Carrington, where they will continue to have full access to medical and training support.
With regard to Rashford, his representatives were informed of the decision in advance.
Matheus Cunha will be given the No 10 shirt – Rashford’s shirt number.
Man Utd expected to increase Mbeumo offer
Manchester United are expected to go in with an improved offer for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo.
Internal discussions at United continue over their next steps regarding their pursuit of the 25-year-old, who effectively has two years left on his deal.
There is a feeling that United’s latest proposal – worth an initial £55m, reaching £62.5m with add-ons, is not far away from what Brentford want. However, the structure of the deal will be significant.
Brentford want at least £65m – with most, if not all, of that amount guaranteed.
Mbeumo only wants to join United and Brentford sporting director Phil Giles says the Cameroon international has said the forward is happy to stay if a deal cannot be agreed.
While United’s focus is on Mbeumo and potential sales, they are still exploring a deal for a striker.
It is understood Juventus mentioned the sale of Dusan Vlahovic when talks took place over Sancho.
Juventus are desperate to sell Vlahovic – he is on huge wages and has entered the final year of his contract.
Juve are still interested in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who was on loan at Galatasaray last season.
Vlahovic is one of a number of strikers United have looked at and they continue to keep an eye on Ollie Watkins’ situation at Aston Villa.
