Marcus Rashford’s Plans: Ready for Something New
Marcus Rashford has said he’s “ready for a new challenge.” This comes after news that Manchester United might sell him. Coach Ruben Amorim hopes Rashford stays but hasn’t talked to him since his interview with journalist Henry Winter. The 27-year-old has been with the club for 20 years and hinted he might leave.
Rashford’s Recent Play and Missing Out
Rashford’s play has dropped over the last year and a half. He didn’t make the squad for the recent 2-1 win against Manchester City. Alejandro Garnacho also missed out, making fans wonder about Amorim’s choices. Still, Amorim believes in Rashford and thinks big talents are key for a team like United.
A Surprise Interview
Rashford’s interview, where he spoke about being ready for “the next steps,” surprised many at Manchester United. Amorim said, “He’s our player, and he’s ready for the next game.” He knows United has tough times ahead and wants his players, including Rashford, to take them on.
Talks About Rashford’s Future
Rashford signed a contract last year, but now with Ineos partially in charge, United seems open to a sale. However, moving him could be tough because of his big wages and transfer fee. Amorim didn’t want to get into Rashford’s future, saying his focus is on preparing the team.
Helping Rashford Improve
Rashford missed training on Monday because of illness but was there on Sunday. After not playing in the Manchester derby, he said he felt “disheartened” but promised to get better. Amorim is dedicated to helping Rashford find his best form, stating, “We are better with Marcus Rashford.” The coach is looking at the current games and teamwork rather than future talks.
What’s Next?
Rashford’s comments and the uncertainty about his future are getting attention as United readies for the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Tottenham. Regardless, Amorim’s goal is to help all his players shine, including Rashford, as they face their challenges.
