Rúben Amorim led Manchester united to a crucial Premier League victory away at Craven Cottage on Sunday, with Lisandro Martínez’s deflected shot securing a 0-1 win against Fulham. Yet,the headlines weren’t solely dominated by the winning goal. The spotlight shone on a Manchester United player who wasn’t on the pitch – Marcus Rashford.
It’s hard to believe it’s been less than three months since Amorim took the reins at Old Trafford from Erik ten Hag. The Portuguese coach arrived in November and initially relied heavily on Rashford, featuring him consistently in his first six games. However, since mid-december, Rashford hasn’t seen a single minute of action.Despite a brief return to the squad at the end of December, the New Year brought no reprieve for the English star.
Amorim’s rationale for Rashford’s exclusion is clear: a lackluster performance in training and a lackadaisical approach to his top-level sport responsibilities. “The reason why he is always not in the selection is always the same: the training,” Amorim stated firmly after the Fulham victory.
He emphasized the importance of training and commitment, stating, “It’s about what players do in training, in life, every day, every detail.” His message to Rashford is unambiguous: “If nothing changes, I won’t change anything.”
While the door isn’t entirely shut for Rashford’s return, Amorim has sent a resounding message about his expectations: “It’s the same for every player: if you do the maximum, if you show the good things, we can use every player.”
the Portuguese coach didn’t hesitate to drive home his point, stating, “I would rather appoint Jorge Vital (United’s 63-year-old goalkeeping coach, ed.) than a player who does not give the maximum every day. I am not going to change anything in that regard.”

Rashford’s Road Back: Amorim Sets High Bar for Manchester United Star
Interview with Rúben Amorim, Manchester United manager
Manchester United’s recent win against Fulham brought a mixed bag of emotions for the club. While the victory deepens their grip on the Premier league, the continued absence of star forward Marcus Rashford has cast a shadow over the celebrations.
Manager Rúben Amorim took the helm in November, initially relying heavily on Rashford. Though, the young striker has been out of the picture as mid-December, with Amorim citing a lack of commitment in training as the reason.
We had the chance to sit down with the Portuguese manager and get his insights on Rashford’s situation, his management style and his expectations for the players.
Archyde: Marcus Rashford’s absence from the squad has been a hot topic. Can you elaborate on the reasons behind his exclusion and what needs to change for him to return?
Amorim: The reason is always the same: the training. It’s about what players do in training, in life, every day, every detail. We demand maximum commitment from everyone at Manchester United. If you do the maximum, if you show the good things, we can use every player.
Archyde: Some might argue that Rashford’s talent should exempt him from this level of scrutiny. Do you beleive that talent alone is enough to justify a place in the starting eleven?
Amorim: talent is important, but it’s only one side of the coin. To be prosperous here,you need to combine talent with hard work,dedication and a strong mentality. I would rather have a player with less natural ability who gives 110% every day than someone who relies solely on their talent.
Archyde: You’ve made a bold statement, stating you’d rather have the goalkeeping coach on the pitch than a player not giving their all. Does this signal a complete break from the past at manchester United?
Amorim: We are building a new culture here at Manchester United. It’s about hard work, discipline and unity.Every player needs to understand that they are part of a team, and their individual performances contribute to the overall success.
Archyde: Going forward, how important is it for a player like Marcus Rashford to regain your trust and earn back his place in the team?
Amorim: It’s important for every player to understand our expectations and work towards meeting them. The door is always open for players who show the right attitude and commitment. But I will not compromise on the standards we have set here.
While Rashford’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain, Amorim’s clear message is undeniable: commitment and hard work are non-negotiable for any player who wants to wear the Red Devils jersey.
