Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim advises Marcus Rashford to discuss his discontent with him privately instead of airing it publicly. Rashford's future at Old Trafford is uncertain after hinting at a potential move and a desire for a new challenge.
RUBEN AMORIM HAS told Marcus Rashford he should “speak with the manager” rather than air his grievances publicly after the Manchester United forward hinted he could leave Old Trafford. The 27-year-old was dropped by United boss Amorim for Sunday’s win at Manchester City and responded by saying he was “ready for a new challenge” in an interview on social media. Rashford came through United’s youth ranks and has chalked up 138 goals in 426 appearances for the club since making his debut in 2016.
However, he has lost form over the last 18 months with United and was also axed from England’s Euro 2024 squad. Rashford has scored just 15 goals in 67 appearances since signing a lucrative new contract 18 months ago, with speculation over his future increasing in recent days. The forward, who was absent from training on Monday through illness, is set to miss the League Cup quarter-final at Tottenham on Thursday. Amorim is keen to keep Rashford but he admitted he would have handled the situation differently when he was a player. Advertisement “If this was me, probably I will speak with the manager,” he told reporters on Wednesday. “But, guys, let’s focus on Tottenham. Tottenham is the most important thing.” Amorim revealed he has yet to speak to Rashford since the interview that threw his United future into doubt. “It’s hard to explain to you guys what I am going to do,” Amorim said. ”I am a little bit emotional, so in the moment I will understand what to do. “I am preparing the game and then we will see. Let’s focus on the team not individual players. That’s it.” Amorim’s 14-minute press conference featured 16 different questions about Rashford. It was an indication of the intense media scrutiny Amorim will have to get used to at United after arriving from Sporting Lisbon to replace the sacked Erik ten Hag in November. “It’s a hard situation to comment on,” he said. “If I give a lot of importance, it will have big headlines in the newspape
