Amorim warns Rashford could continue to deprecate! Without him, it does not affect the team, emphasizing the need for unity

Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has been dropped in successive Premier League games against Manchester City and League Cup against Tottenham Hotspur, and the team returned to Old Trafford at home for the first time in 15 days at the weekend, and the 27-year-old is still at risk of being left in the snow. Coach Ruben Amorim made it clear that the jury is still out on whether to recall the coach, and that a decision will be made through two days of training, and if his performance is still unsatisfactory, it is entirely possible that he will be defeated again.

Marcus Rashford missed out on the Manchester derby, missed training on Monday due to illness, and publicly stated the next day that he was ready to take on a new challenge, which was considered a declaration of departure. Amorim was then left out of the squad for the second game in a row, with the 39-year-old Portuguese boss stressing that Marcus Rashford was available but that he had made a choice based on his performance in training, not just a matter of discipline. Speaking to Bournemouth, Amorim was naturally asked again about Rashford's participation and replied: "It's the same thing, it's going to be the same standard."

Premier League legend Troy Deeney has once again lashed out at Rashford, deeming his performances on and off the pitch to be "flop". The former Watford captain explained: "In my opinion he is a scrap of wood, the most disappointing player of the year. When I say failure, I mean that he failed to live up to everyone's expectations and didn't do what we felt he should have done, which is disappointing. Since January, we've had to admit that Marcus [Marcus Rashford] is a giant baby and that's because of the attitude."

He added: 'Marcus Rashford didn't start against Arsenal and he felt he deserved to start, so how do you prove to people that he's just walking, what's the logic? That's what giant babies do, kids don't get what they want, they do it, they lose their temper, they scream and they cry. Rashford's reaction was to kick the ball on foot and kick a 70-yard ball out of bounds. He felt it was the manager's fault, everyone's fault. He's talented and gets the best opportunity, so it's his own fault and no one else."

Amorim believes that United without Rashford have not been affected, and if anything, that would be a good one. 'Naturally, it felt great to win the Manchester derby last weekend. "Especially the way we win. When Amad [Diallo] scored, you could see how much that moment meant to all of us, not only the players on the pitch and the fans away, but also the substitutes and everyone on the bench."

The United boss stressed the need for the squad to remain united: "Everyone can see how much we care and it's great to see everyone share that moment together because, as I've said many times, if we're going to move forward in our projects, we have to stick together and share the ups and downs as a whole."

In Amorim's view, United have become faster and better at pressing, with Rashford's absence helping the latter. 'I think Manchester United are improving around the opposition box,' Amorim said, 'There were games where we didn't threaten near the box and now you can see something different. You can see we can shoot, we're close to the goal, you can feel it. I think it's good for the team, it's faster, it's more pressing, it's getting more physical, it's understanding of the game and it's about controlling the game. In both games you can see that the players understand where to do and where to run. It's a pity that [the Carabao Cup] is out, so let's focus on the other games."

Another United winger, Garnacho, was also left out of the squad against Manchester City, but the Argentine winger was recalled to the 20-man squad for the trip to Tottenham and came on as a second-half substitute, and his attitude was recognised by Amorim. At the same time, even if the 100 million euro Mr. Antony did not play well against Tottenham, he had a good attitude and Amorim also expressed his support.

"Anthony needs more faith." Amorim explained, "If you remember Antony at Ajax, now he lacks the confidence to challenge one-on-one, so he needs to improve. But he really worked hard, he kept trying, he was more in the middle than on the outside, especially against Tottenham. You have to train hard and that will help him become a better player."

Manchester United lost their last home game to Nottingham Forest, while Bournemouth have been in excellent form of late, and with Christmas just around the corner for the West, Amorim reminded his players to work hard to repay their fans. 'It's hard to accept losing against Nottingham and we always look forward to hearing the fans singing and playing alongside the fans and it's our responsibility to bring joy to their lives.'
