Okay, 5 players (Rasford, Antony, Garnacho, Sancho and Malacia) of Manchester United asked to leave. This is such a good news for MU because they don't need to put more effort in order to sell them. However, this news is so late. This should happen like two years ago in order to minimize their financial lose.
They have to accept the financial lose from selling them all, then focus on how to rebuild the club back from the scratch.
How come Manchester United doesn't need to make an effort to sell them?
The point is that Manchester United needs to sell them. I think the situation has escalated to a level where the club should no longer be making things more difficult. When the club sets high prices, it does not lower them so that players can be sold with a certain urgency, so the club does not want the players to be sold. So if the players are not sold, the club will come out with much more losses because it would be paying them wages without them playing.
For example, let's say Manchester United wants 40 million for Rasford, but other clubs want him for 20 million. The Manchester United board does not accept it. But they forget that Rasford is not performing well, and if he stays at Manchester United, the club will continue to pay his wages until 2028. And to make matters worse, if Rasford does not play, then his price will be much lower. So it's worth selling it now for a low price
