Flamengo continues to monitor the market in search of new players for the remainder of the 2026 season. As such, six players are available on the market after leaving Manchester United (ENG) this June.
This is because Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia, Sonny Aljofree, James Bailey, and Malachi Sharpe left Manchester United on free transfers. Therefore, the six players can sign for any team in the world at no cost.
Of those names, three players came through Manchester United’s youth academy and did not get opportunities with the first team. As such, these players are expected to attract interest from smaller clubs, such as teams in the second and third divisions of Europe’s main leagues.
On the other hand, Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, and Tyrell Malacia have a market among the top clubs in European football. That is because Casemiro was one of Manchester United’s standout players in the latest Premier League edition. Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho had a quiet season during his loan spell at Aston Villa (ENG).
Finally, another name who could gain space in the top leagues is Tyrell Malacia. Even so, the Dutch left back played in only two matches last season for Manchester United, as he was not used by Ruben Amorim and Michael Carrick.
Flamengo is active in the market, although it is not yet negotiating with any player. The Rubro-Negro club is mapping out options to strengthen the squad for the rest of the season, which features a packed schedule.
At the moment, Flamengo is competing in two tournaments in which it is still fighting for the title. The team managed by Leonardo Jardim sits in second place in the Brazilian Championship and is in the Round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, where it faces Cruzeiro.
Flamengo has paused competition due to the World Cup, which is being held between June and July in North America. However, the Rubro-Negro team is already preparing for its mid-season training camp, which will take place in Portugal.
WHEN WILL FLAMENGO VS BENFICA TAKE PLACE?
Therefore, Flamengo will take the field on July 11 in the Algarve, Portugal, for a mid-season friendly against Benfica (POR). The match time has yet to be set by the teams. That way, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information about the clash.
