Ruben Amorim reveals why Rashford was frozen out of the team

Manchester United’s head coach, Ruben Amorim, has taken a hardline stance against forward Marcus Rashford, leaving the England star out of the team for several weeks.

The ongoing conflict between the pair has raised serious questions about Rashford’s future at Old Trafford.

Once hailed as a key player for Manchester United, Rashford has struggled to replicate the form that earned him a lucrative contract extension two seasons ago. Since signing the new deal, the forward has failed to significantly impact the pitch, prompting criticism and concerns about his commitment.

Amorim, known for his no-nonsense approach, has reportedly been unimpressed with Rashford’s performance in training. The Portuguese manager cited the player’s lack of effort and attention to detail as the main reasons for his exclusion from the squad across all competitions.

In a candid statement, Amorim explained: “Rashford out? The reason is the training, the way I see what footballers should do in training, in life. It’s every day, every detail. Even if we missed something upfront against Fulham, I prefer like this.

If things don’t change, I will not change. I will put the goalkeeper coach Vital before I put a player who does not give the maximum every day. I will not change in that department.”

With Rashford sidelined, speculation about his future is heating up. The forward has been linked with a move away from Manchester United, with Barcelona emerging as a potential destination. As the January transfer window approaches, fans and analysts alike are eager to see a resolution before the deadline.

The clock is ticking, and for Rashford, the next few weeks could determine whether he stays to fight for his place at Old Trafford or seeks a fresh start elsewhere. One thing is clear: Ruben Amorim’s standards leave no room for compromise.
