Ruben Amorim gives blunt 10-word response over Marcus Rashford's Manchester United exile following Wolves defeat
Share:
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim refused to be drawn on questions over the continued absence of Marcus Rashford from his side, with the Red Devils losing a third game in a week on Boxing Day. Rashford has not featured for his side since the Europa League win ovre Viktoria Plzen in Czechia, having admitted in a bombshell interview that he is 'ready for a new challenge'.

The forward has since not featured for United, sitting out each of the last four games, three of which have ended in defeats for the Old Trafford club. With results not going the way Amorim might want, naturally the intensity ratchets up, specifically with regard to topics like players not featuring, and what conclusions might be drawn from such absences.

As such, Amorim kept his cards close to his chest when the questions naturally turned to the absent star, who has hardly been tearing up any trees with his form this term, scoring just four in 15 Premier League games. 'It's always the same reason it's going to be,' he told Prime Video when asked about Rashford.

Ruben Amorim refused to be drawn on questions over Marcus Rashford's continued absence. Rashford has missed the last four games since United's clash against Viktoria Plzen earlier this month. 'We have to be the same professionals, the same guys, winning or losing. Losing, I have to be stronger. I will continue with my idea until the end.'.
