Manchester United have taken the No. 10 shirt off Marcus Rashford and given it to new signing Matheus Cunha, sources have told ESPN.
Rashford has not featured for United since December and spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa.
The 27-year-old has been told by club bosses to delay his return to Carrington while he continues to seek a move away from Old Trafford. Preseason training for the rest of the squad is due to begin on Monday.
Antony, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia have also informed United they want to move this summer and have been granted an extended break to organise transfers.
All five are expected back at United later in July if moves have not materialised.
Ruben Amorim and his squad are to travel to Chicago for a three-game tour of the United States on July 22.
Villa have decided against taking up their option to make Rashford’s move permanent for £40 million ($54.56m). The valuation remains the same for any interested club this summer, but so far United have not received any firm bids.
Sources have told ESPN that the England forward’s representatives are hopeful that Barcelona will step up their interest now that Nico Williams has snubbed a move by signing a new long-term contract with Athletic Club.
Bayern Munich are also in the market for a winger and had previously been linked with Williams.
