Marcus Rashford left the Manchester United team due to vital European tie

Marcus Rashford remained from Manchester United today for their vital Europa League conflict with the Steau Bucharest.

The 27-year-old did not play for United from 2-1 victory in Viktoria Plzen on December 12, and Chief coach Ruben Amorim publicly criticized him after winning Sunday in Fulham.

Amorim asked why Rashford was not involved in Craven Cottage and replied: “This is always the same reason. The reason is training, the way I see what the footballer should do. In training, in life and that is every day, every detail. , if things don’t change, I won’t change. “

Amorim said that the situation would remain the same if Rashford’s attitude did not improve and claimed that he would rather have his 63-year-old Jorge Vital goalkeeper coach on the bench from England International.

“That’s the same situation for every player,” he told Amorim. “If you do the maximum, if you do the right things … we can use every player. You can see it on the bench today – we miss a little tempo to go, change the game, move some pieces, but I prefer (that).

“I’ll put in a vital (on the bench) before putting on a player who doesn’t give the maximum every day, so I won’t change in it.”

No exit for Rashford

Rashford hoped to leave Old Trafford in this transmission window But with the remaining just over five days, it now looks on a remote option.

Victor Lindelof was appointed in the party to travel to Romania and could appear for the first time in 2025.

A united victory would guarantee them an automatic place in the 16th round, but withdrawal or defeat, together with the results elsewhere, could see them descending into the playoffs.
