Following Manchester United’s narrow 1-0 victory against Fulham, Ruben Amorim didn’t hold back when addressing Marcus Rashford’s situation. In a surprising and candid statement, the Red Devils’ manager criticized the 27-year-old striker, who has been excluded from the team’s last 11 matches.
Amorim even claimed he would rather field Jorge Vital, the club’s 63-year-old goalkeeping coach, than Rashford if his attitude doesn’t improve. “I know what a footballer needs to do in training and in life every day. Until things change, my decision will not,” Amorim declared, emphasizing his high standards for professionalism and effort.
This bold statement has further fueled speculation about Rashford’s future at the club. The academy graduate is now under significant pressure to reclaim his spot by proving his commitment on and off the pitch.
While some fans see Amorim’s tough stance as a wake-up call for Rashford, others fear it could create an irreparable rift between the player and his manager. Only time will tell how this situation evolves.
