Rio Ferdinand has urged Marcus Rashford to come out “all guns blazing” at Ruben Amorim if he feels the Manchester United boss has treated him unfairly. Amorim said after United’s win over Fulham on Sunday that he would rather have his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach in his matchday squad than the forward, referencing his performances in training.
Rashford has not played for United since December 12, with Amorim leaving him out of the squad for every game since apart from one, in which he was an unused substitute. Having omitted the England international again on Sunday when United won 1-0 at Fulham, Amorim made reference to his coach Jorge Vital as he said: "The reason (why Rashford is not playing) is the training, what I think a footballer should do in training, in life and every day... I will put (in) Vital before I put (in) a player who doesn't give the maximum every day.".
Ferdinand believes there is "no way back" for Rashford after that comment. Speaking on his Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, the former United defender said: "If I was that player that the manager said that about, my heart, my pride, my ego - embarrassment.
"For someone to question your application, to question (whether) you're going out there and giving 100 per cent for your team, (suggesting) that you're going to slack off and you're taking shortcuts... "We all have days off or moments when we're not performing well, lacking confidence, but effort isn't really one of the things I would want to be hearing a manager say is lacking in my makeup.
