Amorim's huge pressure attack on Rashford

Is this the end of the story or the start of a new chapter for Marcus Rashford? A gem from the training center, the English striker shone in his early days before going through more complicated periods, like his training team. But since the arrival of Ruben Amorim at the head of the club at the end of November, he is undoubtedly going through the most complicated period of his career. Sidelined for the matches against Tottenham and Bournemouth while he was available, he could still be put aside for the trip to Wolverhampton for Boxing Day on December 26.

“Some players here have a big responsibility”

Present at a press conference today, his coach did not hesitate to send him a strong message: “As with any player, I want him to be at his best. If you want to be a great talent, it means great performance, great responsibility, total commitment, and the ability to push everyone forward, especially right now. Some players here have a big responsibility because they have been here for a long time. This may be one of the lowest moments for our club, so we have to be strong and face it“, he said. Subsequently, he explained that his player wanted to play, but that he had decided for the moment not to call him up.It's my decision. He wants to play. But it's my decision, only my decision. I spoke with a lot of players, individually and during training. I try to do things my way, it's the only way I know. If I don't do this, I will lose myself, and I will not lose myself. I know what I'm doing. (…) My message is very clear, everyone at Carrington knows what I'm talking about and what I expect from Marcus and the others. This is not a distraction for us. Maybe it's for the media, but that's not my problem“. The message is clear.
