Marcus Rashford Set for January Exit Under Ruben Amorim at Manchester United
Ruben Amorim has begun his overhaul at Manchester United, with Marcus Rashford reportedly becoming the first player to face an exit as part of the manager's plans.
The revolution led by Ruben Amorim at Manchester United has started to take shape, and one of the most significant moves could be the sale of star forward Marcus Rashford. Reports indicate that Rashford may be sold as early as the upcoming January transfer window.
Rashford, an England international and one of United's prominent attackers, was notably left out of the squad alongside Alejandro Garnacho during Manchester United’s 2-1 derby victory against Manchester City. Amorim emphasized the importance of high standards, saying, "Performance in training, games, how players dress, eat, and interact with teammates – all of it matters to me."
Amorim’s comments have sparked speculation that Rashford has failed to maintain the expected standards under the new regime. Despite scoring seven goals this season, the Portuguese coach reportedly believes that Rashford’s time at Old Trafford has come to an end.
According to sources close to the club, Manchester United’s new leadership group, spearheaded by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS, fully supports Amorim's decision. They aim to restore the club’s reputation and performance through a complete squad overhaul.
The Guardian confirmed the reports, stating that Rashford’s departure in January will not disrupt Amorim’s long-term vision for Manchester United. The forward, once a key figure at the club, now seems destined to seek a new challenge elsewhere.
This bold decision signals a clear message: discipline, commitment, and a fresh start are central to Amorim’s plans to bring Manchester United back to their former glory.
