Marcus Rashford was warned by the former defender of Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand, that there was “no way back” for him in the club after his attitude was publicly questioned by head coach Ruben Amorim.
Rashford has not played for United since December 12th and only did the Matchday squad once during this magic. His absence against Liverpool was put down on illness, but otherwise the player did not fail to impress Amorim with his application in training.
The boss was repeatedly asked about Rashford, who, with the willingness to accept a “new challenge” after he was dropped for the Manchester derby last month, is best for the team.
“It’s always the same reason … the training. If things don’t change, I won’t change. It is the same situation for every player if you do the maximum and right things we can use every player “, Amorim said after United Beat Fulham on Sunday evening.
In the same press conference, he implied that the 63-year-old goalkeeper coach Jorge Vital has a better chance in this phase to do the bank than Rashford: “You can see that we miss a bit of speed on the bench, but I would do it [select] Vital in front of a player who does not give the maximum every day. “
Ferdinand does not see how Rashford can have a future in Old Trafford because he feared that the reintegration would ultimately send the wrong message to other players in the squad.
“If I were the player who said the manager about it, my heart, my pride, my ego – it’s embarrassed” Rio Ferdinand presented.
“In order for someone to question your application, ask you 100% for the team, say that you have no effort and take abbreviations, this is a damned comment. There is no way back for Marcus afterwards Removing is that other the players can take their foot off the gas and make a way back to the team and take abbreviations.
Rashford was strongly associated with an united exit this month, but his future still has to be solved with just a few days of the transmission window. The AC Milan is out of running, while Barcelona still had to make room in the squad before a deal can be completed.
At its best, Rashford is a player of 30 goals. The 27-year-old met this balance during the 2022/23 campaign 18 months ago. To score so many goals in a single campaign, only once is no coincidence. But Rashford also went over this highlight in two of the three seasons over 20.
The English international was not even a total disaster under Amorim and scored the first goal of the reign of the new coach within two minutes after the start against Ipswich Town in November. A week later, he also achieved a clip against Everton in Old Trafford, which remains his last start for the club.
