\n

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has suggested he’d rather give a place on the bench to his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach instead of Marcus Rashford because of a perceived lack of effort.<\/b><\/p>\n

The England forward has not been involved in a matchday squad for United for six weeks and he was left out once again for Sunday’s 1-0 win at Fulham<\/a> in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

With the transfer window closing on 3 February, it is unclear what the future holds for Rashford, who Amorim criticised for not showing the attitude of someone “giving the maximum every day”.<\/p>\n

“It’s always the same reason – the training, the way I see a footballer should do in life. It’s every day, every detail,” said Amorim, when asked why Rashford was not available.<\/p>\n

“If things don’t change, I will not change. It’s the same situation for every player, if you do the maximum and right things we can use every player.<\/p>\n

“You can see on the bench we miss a bit of pace on the bench, but I would put [Manchester United goalkeeper coach Jorge] Vital before a player who doesn’t give the maximum every day.”<\/p>\n

Sources close to Rashford had been adamant the 27-year-old has no issue with Amorim and was willing to play for the club again.<\/p>\n

Hopes of a move to AC Milan have been dashed by the arrival of Kyle Walker as the Italian club can only sign one English player this month.<\/p>\n

A potential loan to Barcelona depends on the exit of a couple of players and neither Eric Garcia nor Ansu Fati have shown much inclination to leave the Nou Camp.<\/p>\n

Former Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given told BBC Match of the Day: “The fans aren’t stupid. They see it’s not good enough from the players and Ruben Amorim is just being honest.<\/p>\n

“If you don’t train hard and dedicate your life, you won’t be in the team. You have to show your manager you deserve a place in the team.”<\/p>\n

Ex-Aston Villa midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger added: “He wants to set an example but, if he does that, they will never be friends again. <\/p>\n

“Amorim is also under pressure, if he is very harsh with the players then his teams have to improve.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Amorim has endured a testing start to life as Manchester United manager, having struggled to get his style of play to produce results.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s game at Fulham looked to be heading towards a drab goalless draw before Lisandro Martinez’s deflected strike in the closing stages secured victory.<\/p>\n

It was only Manchester United’s fourth Premier League win since Amorim took over as manager in November.<\/p>\n

Amorim, who turns 40 on Monday, joked: “It’s not 40… I’m 50.<\/p>\n

“After two months at Manchester United, it’s 50. It’s a privilege to spend my 40th birthday here.”<\/p>\n

Amorim will have welcomed the chance to smile as there’s not been too many opportunities to do so in his time at the club so far.<\/p>\n

The performance at Fulham was not convincing but they got the result, and means they have now won three of their past four games.<\/p>\n

“Today was not the best match but we managed to win,” added Amorim.<\/p>\n

“The important thing is I have a clear idea of what I want to do. Sometimes I’m frustrated. <\/p>\n

“We want to play a different style and we are going to play different style in the future.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With just over a week to go until the transfer window closes, Manchester United are yet to make a signing, with the focus having been very much on outgoings.<\/p>\n

Winger Antony, who joined Manchester United from Ajax in August 2022 for \u00a381.3m, departed on Saturday to join Real Betis on loan for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Argentina forward Alejandro Garnacho has also been linked with a move away from the club, although Amorim started the 20-year-old at Fulham.<\/p>\n

Garnacho, like his team-mates, put in a largely flat display at Craven Cottage, but did play a part in the winner, with his cutback eventually finding its way to goalscorer Martinez.<\/p>\n

It has been said that selling Garnacho could help<\/a> Manchester United to bring in funds to make purchases and avoid potentially breaching profit and sustainability rules.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have been linked<\/a> with potential moves for Lecce full-back Patrick Dorg and Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku but for now Amorim is having to continue to work with what he has got.<\/p>\n

“We have to cautious,” he added.<\/p>\n

“We did make mistakes in the past and we cannot do it now.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
