Rashford might be forced to leave United under Amorim's management.

Overview

  • Ruben Amorim stated he would prefer to include 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital in the squad over Marcus Rashford due to the forward's alleged lack of commitment in training.
  • Marcus Rashford has not played for Manchester United since December 12 and has been excluded from 11 consecutive matchday squads, despite the team's struggles in attack.
  • Rashford has expressed interest in leaving the club, with Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund reportedly exploring loan options, though his high wages remain a significant obstacle to a deal.
  • Amorim emphasized that Rashford could return to the squad only if his effort and attitude in training improve, maintaining that the same standard applies to all players.
  • The January transfer window closes on February 3, leaving limited time for Rashford to secure a move or reconcile with Amorim's expectations at Manchester United.
