Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim has shed light on his decision to keep Marcus Rashford out of the squad, even during the team’s challenging times.
Rashford, 27, was notably absent as United lost 3-1 to Brighton in their latest Premier League match. His exclusion has fueled speculation about his future, especially since the forward expressed last year that he’s looking for a new challenge. Reports suggest Rashford could leave Old Trafford for an overseas club in the January transfer window.
When asked if Rashford might return to the lineup, Amorim was firm in his response:
“It’s his choice not to play. I don’t want to focus on this difficult period and blame Rashford because he hasn’t been part of these games. I won’t play someone unless I believe they’re the best fit for the team.”
Amorim’s comments reflect his unwavering approach to team selection, prioritizing the squad’s needs over individual circumstances.
While Rashford’s future remains uncertain, one thing is clear: Amorim will only include players who align with his vision for the team.
