Amorim Stands Firm on Rashford Omission as United Edge Fulham

Posted : 27 January 2025

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim justified his decision to leave Marcus Rashford out of the squad for Sunday's 1-0 victory over Fulham, stating that he prioritizes commitment over name recognition. Rashford has been absent from the team since December, following his declaration of wanting a new career challenge.

 

 Amorim emphasized that every player must meet the highest standards in training and daily conduct to earn a place in the lineup, regardless of the team's struggles. He even humorously remarked that he would rather include a goalkeeper coach on the bench than a player lacking maximum effort.

 

Amorim acknowledged that Rashford's absence deprived United of attacking options during the match, but he stood firm on his principles. The Portuguese coach expressed no intention of changing his stance, reiterating that consistent hard work and dedication are non-negotiable for any player to contribute to the team.

 

Despite their lackluster performance at Craven Cottage, United managed to secure three points thanks to Lisandro Martinez’s deflected winner, which was their only shot on target in a dull contest.

 

Reflecting on his challenging tenure since replacing Erik ten Hag in November, Amorim joked about feeling ten years older as he approached his 40th birthday. While United’s fourth league win under his guidance offered some relief, Amorim admitted the team has shown minimal progress and remains stuck in mid-table.

 

However, he expressed hope that victories, no matter how scrappy, could provide a foundation for improvement as he continues to reshape the squad.
