Marcus Rashford Returns to Manchester United Squad After Absence
Marcus Rashford has been reinstated into Manchester United's squad for the upcoming match against Newcastle United, following a four-game absence due to disciplinary reasons.
Manchester United's head coach, Rúben Amorim, has ended the disciplinary action against Marcus Rashford, reinstating him into the squad for the upcoming match against Newcastle United. Rashford had been excluded from the team's roster for the past four matches, leading to speculation about his future with the club.
Rashford, 27, was among the last players to arrive at Old Trafford ahead of the Newcastle match, signaling his return to the team. His last appearance was during United's 2-1 victory over Viktoria Plzeň in the Europa League. Following that match, he was omitted from the squad for four consecutive games, reportedly due to disciplinary measures enforced by Amorim.
During his absence, Rashford expressed frustration, indicating in an interview his readiness to face new challenges, which fueled rumors about a potential departure from Manchester United. The disciplinary action began when both Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho were left out of the squad for the Manchester derby against Manchester City. While Garnacho returned to the lineup shortly thereafter, Rashford remained sidelined until now.
Rashford's return comes at a crucial time as Manchester United prepares to face Newcastle United, aiming to improve their standing in the Premier League.
