Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim confirmed Marcus Rashford will stay sidelined amid transfer rumors. Despite United’s poor form and attacking struggles, Amorim insists he won’t field Rashford unless he’s the best option. Rashford’s future remains uncertain as United seeks stability in a challenging season.
Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed Marcus Rashford will remain out of the squad, intensifying speculation about the forward’s future at Old Trafford. Rashford, excluded yet again in United’s 3-1 defeat to Brighton, has reportedly expressed his desire to leave the club amidst the Red Devils' ongoing poor form.
Amorim defended his decision, stating, “I won’t field a player unless I believe he’s the best option for the team.” Despite United’s attacking inconsistency, the Portuguese manager suggested Rashford’s absence isn’t linked to their struggles, emphasizing that the forward is not part of the current "bad moment" due to his lack of involvement.
The situation has raised questions about Rashford’s future, with the January transfer window presenting an opportunity for a potential exit. Having shown glimpses of his former self early in Amorim’s tenure, Rashford’s sudden announcement of his intention to leave has left United in a difficult position.
With the club languishing in 13th place, Amorim has called this squad "the worst in Manchester United's history" and now faces the challenge of managing growing unrest on and off the pitch.
United will seek to turn their fortunes around with a Europa League clash against Rangers, followed by a tricky Premier League tie at Fulham. Meanwhile, fans and pundits await clarity on Rashford’s future as the club grapples with multiple crises.
