Ruben Amorim Prefers 63-Year-Old Coach Over Rashford Due to Attitude Concerns
Posted on January 27, 2025
Manchester United's manager, Ruben Amorim, has stirred controversy by suggesting he would rather include his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach on the bench than forward Marcus Rashford, citing concerns over Rashford’s perceived lack of effort in training. The England international has been absent from the matchday squad for six weeks, missing another game during United's recent 1-0 victory against Fulham. Amorim emphasized that consistent effort and dedication are crucial for any player to earn their place in the team.
Amorim criticized Rashford, stating, "If things don't change, I will not change," highlighting that he expects all players to give their maximum every day. He expressed disappointment that Rashford has not demonstrated the commitment he deems necessary for selection. Despite this criticism, sources close to Rashford assert that he has no issues with Amorim and is eager to contribute to the team again. The forward’s future remains uncertain, with potential moves to clubs like AC Milan and Barcelona being complicated by various factors.
The comments from Amorim come during a challenging start to his tenure at Manchester United, where results have been mixed. The manager is under pressure to establish his style of play while ensuring that players meet his expectations. Former players have weighed in on the situation, with Shay Given and Thomas Hitzlsperger discussing the implications of Amorim's remarks and the potential impact on team morale. As the transfer window approaches its end, United faces critical decisions regarding player management and acquisitions.
