Ruben Amorim was asked about Marcus Rashford after the game and the Manchester United manager explained why he is not part of the squad.
Manchester United lost their first game of the year at Old Trafford on Sunday against Brighton & Hove Albion in a 1-3 defeat. Fabian Hürzeler’s team was better than United in many aspects with the manager saying he wasn’t surprised with the victory after the game.
Brighton took the lead after 5 minutes of the game through Minteh, Manchester United managed to get back into the game after Joshua Zirkzee won the penalty which Bruno Fernandes scored.
Joao Pedro puts the visitors ahead for the second time in the game, but his goal was disallowed after the VAR intervened for a foul on Diogo Dalot inside the box. Kaoru Mitoma restored the lead a few minutes after another poor defending from Manchester United.
Georginio Rutter made it 3-1 after a huge error from Andre Onana who failed to keep the ball. Brighton coming to Old Trafford and putting 3 past Manchester United is unacceptable and everyone knows that. Ruben Amorim needs reinforcements to strengthen his team and the perfect players that fit into his play style.
Amorim asked about Marcus Rashford after the defeat against Brighton.
Again, Marcus Rashford was not involved in the Manchester United squad that faced Brighton on Sunday afternoon. Ruben Amorim was asked about the 27-year-old winger after the game and he thinks the best thing for the team is to not involve him in the squad yet.
Ruben Amorim on Marcus Rahford: “I’m not going to put a player on when I don’t think it’s best for the team”.
Likely the Manchester United manager said that because Rashford is expected to leave the club in the coming days/weeks. The relationship between him and the player has not been good since he came out and claimed that he is ready for a new challenge
Marcus Rashford is expected to leave the club on a straight loan deal without a buy option. The situation could change in the summer.
