The exclusion of Marcus Rashford from the derby against Guardiola’s City could have marked the end of the English striker’s adventure at Manchester United. After that match, in which Amorim also left Alejandro Garnacho out, there was a distant back and forth between Rashford and the Red Devils coach: “If they train well they will be able to fight for a place in the team” said the coach trying to send a message to the two players; the attacker didn’t take it very well, and responded like this: “I’m ready for a new challenge. When I leave I will do so without rancor; I won’t speak badly of Manchester United, I will always be a red fan“.
WHERE CAN RASHFORD GO – Words that definitely smack of separation, and with the January transfer window upon us Marcus Rashford could become one of the protagonists of the next session. According to the first rumors in the English press there are some Arab clubs that are ready to fill him with millions to try the big shot; Also watch out for the moves of PSG, who had already taken an interest in the class of ’97 before the renewal with Manchester United and could return to the position. The Red Devils are aware of the player’s bad mood but do not want to sell him off: last summer the attacker signed an extension until 2028 with a salary of 10.5 million euros net per season. In recent days Rashford’s profile has also been linked to Napolibut considering the high costs of the price tag and salary and the fact that the Azzurri are covered with Lukaku in that role, it is not a viable option at the moment.
THE NEW HIERARCHY OF AMORIM – It must be said that Rashford still feels tied to United, despite being excluded from the derby he celebrated the victory against City – 2-1 comeback, goals from Bruno Fernandes and former Atalanta player Diallo – complete with story on Instagram. With the arrival of Amorim Rashford has slipped back in the hierarchy: “It’s not a disciplinary issue, if it were I would say so – clarified the coach after the victory at Ethiad – For me, everything counts, from how you train to how you talk to your teammates, from the energy you bring to the locker room to how you dress to go to the match.“. Message received by Garnacho: “He seems a bit angry with me but he trained very well – said Amorim – I’m happy with his reaction, I would have done the same too.” And in the meantime, Rashford looks around for a change of scenery .
