The well-known story between Manchester United and Marcus Rashford, specifically him and the Red Devils’ coach, Ruben Amorim, continues to unfold, with new details emerging every day. The Portuguese manager has spoken about how the 27-year-old Englishman needs a change in order to be his best when it comes to the team.In tonight’s match against Romanian side Steaua (11PM), Rashford will be left out of the squad for the 12th consecutive time. Ahead of this crucial game—one that could determine United’s fate in the fight for a spot in the Europa League round of 16—Manchester United legends Roy Keane and Wayne Rooney have spoken to the media, sharing their thoughts on the entire Rashford situation.A slap in Rashford’s face! Amorim would rather pick a 63-year-old than himThe legendary Irishman was unhappy with the player’s attitude toward the team, as well as his approach during training sessions.”I still can’t understand at any level – whatever’s going on with players leaving, months left on contracts – a player who doesn’t train properly. I don’t understand it; you might as well leave me out of this conversation. Especially if you think he wants to move, which is more of a reason to train properly so when you go to a new club you’re up to speed and when you leave the club at least you showed a decent attitude. He must be ashamed”, concluded Keane.Venting his full fury. 😠 pic.twitter.com/mSvuSFIJFZ— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) January 30, 2025 Ahead of this match against the former European champions, Rashford was present at the first-team training in good spirits, but Amorim did not select him for the trip to Romania. However, Wayne Rooney recently stated that he saw the 27-year-old Englishman training separately from the main squad, describing the situation as embarrassing.”I went into Carrington on Sunday to take my kids to game day and Marcus Rashford was out on the training pitch with the fitness coach, but he was right over towards where the parents were walking past for the kids’ games. I looked at him thinking how embarrassing it must be for him as parents walk past.”🚨🗣️ – Wayne Rooney on Marcus Rashford: “The fact that your manager is coming out and saying that you’re not training right is CRAZY.” pic.twitter.com/YZaLgUL3ww— Frank🧠🇵🇹 (fan) (@AmorimEra_) January 30, 2025 Unlike the two mentioned, Gary Neville comments on the situation as a team tactic to distance themselves from Rashford.”They’re probably asking Marcus to take a wage cut to leave, they don’t want to subsidise the wages because there is no way a new club will pay him those wages. So I suspect it’s a brutal blow on him to say that there is no future here for him, that we need him out. I suspect it’s a business play as well as an honesty play.”UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 8Thursday 23.00: (2.40) Ajax (3.70) Galatasaray (2.95)23.00: (2.35) Anderlecht (3.50) Hoffenheim (2.95)23.00: (1.60) Ath.Bilbao (3.90) Plzen (6.00)23.00: (2.25) Braga (3.50) Lazio (3.35)23.00: (1.85) Dynamo Kyiv (3.50) Rigas (4.40)23.00: (6.00) FCSB (3.90) Man.Utd.
