MANCHESTER UNITED'S five outcasts have all been called back to work – but they will only train once the rest of the squad have gone home.
Ruben Amorim decided ten days ago that Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia should stay away from first team training.

They were given extra time off to find new clubs – but as yet nothing has been finalised.
So the quintet have now been told to return to Carrington although they will all report around 5pm once the manager and his chosen players have departed.
And as yet there are no plans to re-integrate any of them into the main group.
Amorim has put his players through their paces in the morning and early afternoon – so the first team squad will be long gone by the time the five report.
United made it clear at the time their facilities would remain available to the players even though they are excluded from training.
Rashford and Garnacho have both taken advantage of that offer and are believed to have trained together last Thursday.
The England forward arrived just eight minutes after his manager had gone home – and the only other players left at the complex were the Under 10s.
Rashford is eager to work around whatever obstacles he must to stay on top form and maintain the possibility of a move materialising later in the window.

On Monday he was seen leaving a gym in Salford after a four-hour session training alone while waiting for the 5pm curfew to pass.

Now the 27-year-old and his four fellow exiles have also been told they will be expected to clock in this weekend.
Juventus want Rashford!
However Amorim and his players are heading for Sweden on Friday night ready for a pre-season game against Leeds in Stockholm the following day.
And the following Tuesday, those selected will fly to the USA for a three-match tour spread over two weeks.
Rashford is hoping Barcelona will firm up their interest and offer him an escape route to the Nou Camp in the coming weeks.
Sancho is expected to join Juventus – while Garnacho has been linked with Chelsea and has also turned down a move to Saudi Arabia.
Real Betis are hopeful they can lure Antony back to them after he impressed during a loan spell earlier this year.

And Celtic are leading the chase to land defender Malacia who has endured a miserable couple of years with injury.
United are hoping to raise money from the five exiles to boost Amorim's spending power this summer.
A £65million move for Brentford's Bryan Mbuemo has been lined up but the Cameroon returned to training with the Bees on Monday with nothing resolved.
Amorim would love to have the 25-year-old in the squad that flies to the US next week for games against Bournemouth, West Ham and Everton.
