On the last day of the Premier League summer transfer window, Manchester United accelerated the progress of cleaning up the team's redundant staff. Among them, Sancho joined Villa on loan, and Anthony transferred to Real Betis forever. In addition, Rashford, who had previously loaned to Barcelona, ​​and Garnacho, who had permanently transferred to Chelsea, the "Dark Four Kings" and "Bomb Team" mentioned by Manchester United fans have now all left the team. The departure of these four people not only saved Manchester United a lot of salary expenses, but also brought in 100 million euros in transfer income.

This summer, Amorin made a bold decision. He directly excluded players such as Garnacho, Anthony, Sancho and Rashford from the first team until the summer window was completely over. Although these four people can continue to use the facilities of the Carrington Training Base, their training time and schedule will be completely staggered from the first team. British media called them Manchester United's "bomb squad".

Among the four-person "bomb squad", Rashford was the first to confirm his departure. On July 23, Barcelona officially announced that it would be loaned to Rashford for one season, with a buyout option in the transaction. It is reported that Rashford cuts his salary by 15% to join Barcelona, ​​and Barcelona will pay its total salary of 14 million euros, and Manchester United will not bear any salary. Rashford's buyout clause is 30 million euros. In the new season, Rashford has made three appearances in La Liga for Barcelona, ​​one of which started. Among the "Bomb Squad", the second player to find his next home is Garnacho. Just yesterday, Garnacho officially transferred to Chelsea, with a transfer fee of 40 million pounds (about 46.2 million euros), and Manchester United will have a 10% second transfer share. Because of wasting opportunities many times in the game and being rude to Amorin, 21-year-old Garnacho was scrupulous by Manchester United. He is also the most valuable transfer among Manchester United's "bomb squad". Among the

"Bomb Squad", Anthony is the one with the most transfer reversals. At first, several media outlets officially announced that he joined Betis, but they were rejected by the other party. The reason is that Betis is unable to pay his €6 million in salary loss caused by the transfer. After the last day of intense negotiations, Anthony finally transferred to Betis for a permanent transfer. It is reported that the transfer fee is 25 million euros, and the two sides have signed a contract for 5 years.

And before the summer window closed, Sancho finally found his next home. In the new season, he will join Villa on loan, and the opponent will bear 80% of Sancho's salary. Last season, Sancho was loaned to Chelsea to play football, but the opponent did not fulfill his buyout obligation, but chose to pay a penalty of 5 million euros. And this fee is enough to cover 20% of Sancho's contract salary in the next year.

With the departure of all the four members of the "Bomb Team", Manchester United's summer window cleaning plan was a complete success. After some operations, Manchester United not only saved a lot of salary expenses, but also expected to recover more than 100 million euros of transfer fees from four people. Manchester United, who has experienced "bone scraping and healing injuries", will be on the field lightly and play in the Premier League in the 2025-26 season.
