Rashford’s Manchester United Career In Jeopardy As Amorim Sets Clear Conditions

Ruben Amorim made it explicit that Marcus Rashford needs to show greater commitment towards Manchester United if he wants to ever play for the Red Devils.

Ruben Amorim made it explicit that Marcus Rashford needs to show greater commitment towards Manchester United if he wants to ever play for the Red Devils. Amorim said he chose not to select him for the 2-1 win over Viktoria Plzen on December 12 because of “training reasons.” Rashford had since wished for a “new challenge” after that match but has been put in the match-day squad only once-benchmarked during a 2-0 loss to Newcastle on December 30. Amorim’s relationship with the forward has since tainted, with the manager stating that he would rather take Jorge Vital-his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach-onto the bench ahead of Rashford because of the latter’s alleged lack of application in training. The two are reportedly not on talking terms anymore.

Rashford’s Future At United Uncertain As Transfer Window Nears Closure

The closing of the transfer window on Monday, with Rashford hoping against hope that he can secure a transfer in view of this impending deadline. Rashford’s preference for a loan move to Barcelona, albeit with financial constraints currently besetting the La Liga club, makes this difficult to happen. As the time approaches for United’s final Europa League group clash versus FCSB, Amorim was asked what he thinks Rashford should do about his undermined future at the club in case he stayed. Amorim acknowledged Rashford’s talent but insisted things had to change, said that, “If he changes, we are more than welcome to have him,” bearing in mind that the team needs players committed to the same standards.

Amorim’s Firm Stance On Rashford And United’s Transfer Plans

Amorim stated that it all depends on if Rashford can reaffirm his position at United based on his spirit to comply with team standards, like contributing goals and attacking opposition defenses. He revealed that while he does not have any grudge against Rashford, the coach has to watch out to ensure that all players fall under the same rules. When asked if Rashford would be given time for some separate training away from the rest of the group, Amorim stood firm, reaffirming that his decision would be based on what he considers to be best for the application of the player. Meanwhile, United is confident they will complete a €30m deal for Lecce full-back Patrick Dorgu, but Amorim is not gearing up for any signings and is keen to pay attention to the difficulty-ray bars around this transfer window and the changing settings around the club. United have to win against FCSB to qualify for the last-16 of Europa League.
