Marcus Rashford has been left out of the Man United squad for the last 3 matches. The English striker also hinted that he would leave the place where he was trained as a child. It is possible that Rashford will leave Man United in the winter transfer window and not need to wait until the summer of 2025.
Rashford has been removed from the squad since his interview with journalist Henry Winter. The 27-year-old star said he was ready to find a new challenge. That statement was no different from declaring that he no longer wanted to play for the "Red Devils". Amorim must immediately remove Rashford from the squad to maintain internal discipline, but does the Portuguese coach really want to cut ties with his student?
"Things like this are always difficult to handle. I know there are some players who don't necessarily want to say what they think. However, people around them or their representatives spread the news first. Sometimes it's not necessarily what the player wants to say right away.
They did not do that interview with Marcus Rashford just to get him to say what he thought. For me, as a manager, I have to help Rashford like all the other players in the team. For each player, I want to focus on their performance and training and leave the rest to the club.
"I want to see a good version of Marcus Rashford. I will forget that interview and see what he can do on the pitch" - Ruben Amorim shared.
Ruben Amorim is considered to be fair when giving opportunities to everyone since he took over the team, Rashford is one of them. The 27-year-old striker has started, come off the bench, even scored but it is still not enough to convince the fans and the Portuguese captain himself.
Amorim's approach of giving everyone a chance helps the team's dressing room maintain stability. If a player plays well, the opportunity will come to them and vice versa. With Amorim's approach, players who were thought to be on the brink of being sold, such as Amad Diallo, suddenly became key players. Meanwhile, a harmless player like Rashford was eventually "unmasked" and could no longer be in the Man United squad due to his lack of ability.
Rashford's announcement of his future in the media is no different from an undisciplined act, but perhaps, it is his way of leaving Man United early. From the perspective of former player Gary Neville, Rashford may have behaved badly but it would be better if he had a new destination soon. The most recent case of Jadon Sancho, after leaving Man United, played well for both Dortmund and Chelsea is the clearest example.
Marcus Rashford has not closed the door to his future with this decision and Amorim no longer has the responsibility to keep him. If this parting comes early, hopefully it will leave a good result for both sides in the future.
