Manchester United’s boss, Ruben Amorim, suggested that he preferred to give a place on the bench to his 63 -year -old goalkeeper instead of Marcus Rashford due to a lack of effort perceived.
The England striker has not been involved in a match team for United for six weeks and he was again left out for the 1-0 Sunday victory in Fulham in the Premier League.
With the closure of the transfer window on February 3, we do not know what the future has in store for us for Rashford, which Murim criticized for not showing someone’s attitude “giving the maximum every day “.
“This is always the same reason – training, the way I see a footballer should do in life. It is every day, every detail,” said Amorim, when asked why Rashford N ‘was not available.
“If things do not change, I will not change. It is the same situation for each player, if you do maximum and good things that we can use each player.
“You can see on the bench, we lack a little pace on the bench, but I will put [Manchester United goalkeeper coach Jorge] Vital in front of a player who does not give the maximum every day. “”
Sources close to Rashford had been categorical, the 27 -year -old has no problem with Amorim and was ready to play again for the club.
The hopes of a move to AC Milan were destroyed by the arrival of Kyle Walker because the Italian club can sign only one English player this month.
A potential loan in Barcelona depends on the release of a few players and neither Eric Garcia ni Ansu Fati showed much desire to leave the Nou camp.
The former Newcastle goalkeeper Shay told BBC Match of the Day: “Fans are not stupid. They see that they are not good enough of the players and Ruben Amorim is just honest.
“If you do not train hard and you do not devote your life, you will not be in the team. You must show your manager, you deserve a place in the team.”
The former villa midfielder, Thomas Hitzlsperger, added: “He wants to give an example but, if he does it, they will never be friends again.
“Amorim is also under pressure, if he is very hard with the players, his teams must improve.”
“ It is 50, not 40 ‘- amorim jokes that he is 10 years old at man utd
Amorim endured a start of testing as a Manchester United manager, having struggled to obtain his style of play to produce results.
Sunday’s match in Fulham seemed to be heading for a relentless draw before Lisandro Martinez’s deviated strike in the last stages won the victory.
It was only the fourth victory of Manchester United in the Premier League since Morim took the post of manager in November.
Amorim, who was 40 on Monday, joked: “It’s not 40 … I am 50 years old.
“After two months in Manchester United, it’s 50 years. It’s a privilege to spend my 40th birthday here.”
Amorim will have welcomed the chance to smile because there has not been too many opportunities to do it in his time at the club so far.
The performance in Fulham was not convincing, but they obtained the result and means that they have now won three of their last four games.
“Today was not the best match, but we managed to win,” added Amorim.
“The important thing is that I have a clear idea of what I want to do. Sometimes I am frustrated.
“We want to play a different style and we are going to play a different style in the future.”
“ We must be careful ” – AMORIM transfer warning
With just over a week until the transfer window is closed, Manchester United has not yet signed, with the accent being put on expenses.
The winger Antony, who joined Manchester United from Ajax in August 2022 for 81.3 million pounds sterling, left on Saturday to join Real Betis for the rest of the season.
Meanwhile, Argentina striker Alejandro Garnacho was also linked to a distance from the club, although Morim started the 20 -year -old in Fulham.
Garnacho, like his teammates, presented a largely flat exhibition in Craven Cottage, but played a role in the winner, with his reduction which finally found his way to the scorer Martinez.
Garnacho’s sale could be said to help Manchester United collect funds to make purchases and potentially avoid the rules of profit and sustainability.
The Red Devils have been linked to potential movements for the lateral back of Lecce Patrick Dorg and Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku, but for the moment Amorim must continue to work with what he has.
“We have to practice,” he added.
“We have made mistakes in the past and we cannot do it now.”
