Marcus Rashford
At Barcelona, Rashford had an impressive start with 3 goals and 5 assists after 10 matches. This number is a fulcrum but what is more impressive is how he integrates. Before Rashy joined, Barca were worried that the star's efforts were over. However, when he arrived in Spain, he surprised the coaching staff and the medical staff with his good physical condition and seriousness.
After a lackluster first three games, Rashford exploded in the next five games with four assists and one goal. He has never been a No. 1 choice in the Barca attack, often given the opportunity to have someone injured or come on in the second half.
Teammates commented that Rashford is a bit quiet and is actively learning Spanish. Captain Hansi Flick was very impressed with his working spirit. Currently, Barca is in no rush to activate a £26 million buy-to-know clause as they hope Rashford will maintain this form for the rest of the season.
Rasmus Hojlund
Hojlund proudly posted on Instagram: "Scored 2 goals in the Champions League thanks to De Bruyne's assist". The Danish striker was compared to Erling Haaland by his teammates after scoring from De Bruyne's pass to Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League.
In Serie A, Hojlund also quickly left a highlight. In his debut match against Fiorentina, the return to finish defeating De Gea was a spectacular debut. Last weekend, he continued to score the second goal for Napoli against Genoa. The total so far is 4 goals after 6 matches, a much more impressive performance than previous seasons.
Napoli hopes Hojlund will gradually become a bridge between the attack and midfield when catching the better pace in the upcoming matches. The 22-year-old star said that his goal was not to prove that M.U was wrong. It is simply a refutation of criticism about one's actual abilities.
There is a buy-through clause between Man United and Napoli of £32.2 million. If Hojlund maintains his form, the Serie A team will definitely want to keep him for a long time.
Alejandro Garnacho
One of the reasons Garnacho wanted to leave M.U was because Chelsea had a large Argentine force, which helped him integrate well. In his debut match against Chelsea at Brentford, Garnacho showed potential when participating in the combination leading to a goal. However, it was Garnacho who made the mistake that caused The Blues to equalize.
However, Enzo Maresca still has faith in his young student when Garnacho was put on the field in big matches such as against Benfica and Liverpool. In the first 5 matches, even without scoring or assisting, Garnacho still left a clear impression.
Jadon Sancho
Sancho went through a very difficult period when he failed to move to Chelsea, was fined, and then loaned to Aston Villa. So far, he has not been able to make a big impression. The English striker was sick for a while and had only played for 8 minutes in the Premier League. In addition, Sancho has also made 2 appearances in the League Cup and Europa League but has not left much of an impression.
Sancho is 25 years old this year, his contract with M.U will expire at the end of this season. The club could activate a one-year extension but there is a high possibility that he will leave free next season.
Antony
Antony returned to Real Betis this summer and was welcomed by fans as a return star. At Betis, he regained his form when 9 goals and 5 assists last season helped Betis reach the Conference League final. This season, Antony has played 5 matches, scoring an important equalizer in the Europa League against Nottingham Forest. Although not at his best, Betis' board believe that when he is healthy, Antony will shine again.
Andre Onana
After M.U brought Lammens, Onana's chance was over. He was loaned to Trabzonspor and is receiving support in Turkey. In the 4-0 win over Kayserispor, Onana made 7 saves to keep a clean sheet.
In his debut against Fenerbahce, Onana made good saves but was also criticized for a situation where the opponent scored. However, Trabzonspor fans warmly welcomed him and believed that Onana would continue to have a positive impact. The Super Lig team paid Onana a higher salary than M.U but it is uncertain whether they bought it out at the end of the season.
The names that Amorim "deported" such as Rashford, Hojlund, Garnacho, Sancho, Antony, Onana, they are not completely failed deals. Many of these are continuing their stories in a way that is opposite to the path they have taken at Old Trafford.
