BREAKING NEWS: “With the things he did in the previous days, it is obvious that he is not going to be starting any games till further notice. I don’t need his lack of seriousness in a team that has no choice but to start winning. So he’s out till when he has gotten his mindset right” – This is according to Ruben Amorim as Marcus Rashford sidelined as a new summer signing prepares to make their debut—here’s a potential lineup for Manchester United against Ipswich Town under Ruben Amorim’s management. The Portuguese coach adopts fresh tactics and personnel to shape his vision for the team.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Marcus Rashford was among the players who attended Rúben Amorim’s first training session as Manchester United manager on Monday at Carrington. This session came just days after Amorim formally took charge at Old Trafford. The Portuguese coach was joined by Rashford, along with teammates Mason Mount, Amad Diallo, and Casemiro, as they began preparations under the new regime. Notably, Rashford’s training session coincided with his omission from the England squad for the November international break.

WHAT MARCUS RASHFORD SAID

Following his first experience training under Amorim, Rashford took to Instagram to share his thoughts, describing the session as a “Top session today” in a brief but positive three-word verdict.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Rashford will be keen to use this fresh start under Amorim to rediscover his best form and secure a place in the manager’s starting XI. The 27-year-old has endured a challenging season so far, scoring just four goals in 18 appearances across all competitions in the 2024-25 campaign. Rashford will hope the arrival of Amorim and the new tactical setup can help him regain the consistency and sharpness that made him one of the team’s key players in previous seasons.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED?

Manchester United, currently unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions, return to Premier League action this Sunday with an away clash against Ipswich Town. Amorim’s side will aim to build on recent momentum and secure a vital win as the Portuguese coach looks to make an immediate impact in his debut match in charge.
