Manchester United -boss Ruben Amorim has dumped Marcus Rashford and £ 85.5 million flop Antony for the larger good of the club.
The star of its own soil Marcus Rashford, who is now out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury, found a new life on loan in Aston Villa.
He scored four goals and had five assists.
And Antony was immediately a favorite at the Spanish club Real Betis.
But for today's trip to Bournemouth, where United was confronted with their lowest Prem Points total ever, Amorim said he had to move the unfortunate duo.
And not only because the Cash-Trapped Club could save a huge part of their combined weekly wage of £ 500,000.
In a clear signal that he wants them to be sold to finance a rebuilding in the summer, Amorim said: “We miss many things in the team.
“We lost in January, and you are talking about Rashford and Antony, we lost these players.
“And we didn't bring new ones, that was a risk. We try to do something more important.
“But I think there are things here that are more important to score 10 goals than this season.
“We can hurt the team now, but in the future it will help the club, so I think we are on that path.”
Amorim emphasized that he had the full support of technical director Jason Wilcox with the loan agreements.
He added: “It was my idea, but I tried to help the team and sometimes helping the players need something else.”
The future of Rashford and Antony is away from Old Trafford, where United continues with plans to lure £ 62.5 million ahead Matheus Cunha van Wolves.
Liam Delap, available for £ 30 million from Ipswich, is another target, together with Victor Osimhen from Napoli.
