With new coach Amorim having a troubled start at Manchester United, the outstanding performances of the players he gave up in the new club have made the outside world increasingly skeptical of him. TA wrote an article about the current situation of former members of Manchester United's "Bomb Squad".

Rashford ushered in a new life in Barcelona. He contributed 3 goals and 5 assists in 10 games, completely dispelling Barcelona's initial doubts about his attitude. Club staff were impressed with his physical condition, while coach Flick was also full of praise for his professionalism. Tactically, he is no longer the only offensive core, which actually allows him to gain more space. Barcelona holds a buyout clause of 26 million pounds, but is in no hurry to make a decision.

Hoylen also performed well. He scored 4 goals in 6 games in Naples, and his efficiency was far higher than that of Manchester United. De Bruyne even compared him to Haaland. Naples' stable tactical system makes Hoylen a fish in water, and he himself is eager to prove that he is a top forward. Naples has a buyout option of £32.2 million and is very keen to keep him.

In contrast, the situations of several other players are different. Ganaccio gradually won the trust of coach Maresca at Chelsea and has started in key games, but has yet to contribute a goal or assist. Sancho had a very difficult start at Aston Villa, playing only 8 minutes as a substitute due to illness. More importantly, it is understood that after the transfer to Chelsea failed (Chelsea paid a fine of 5 million pounds to Manchester United), Sancho's contract with Manchester United has entered the final year, and the club has no intention of triggering the renewal option. He will leave the team free next summer.

After Anthony moved to Betis permanently for 25 million pounds, he is trying to regain his peak form when he was on loan last season (9 goals and 5 assists). Betis has full confidence in him because the club knows that he spent most of the last summer training alone and lacked systematic pre-season preparation. Goalkeeper Onana is on loan to Trabzonspor in Turkey. The club pay a higher wage than United and are pleased with his performances, but admit they may not be able to afford a permanent move at the end of the season.
