Marcus Rashford Hails Ruben Amorim for Transforming Manchester United’s Mindset
Marcus Rashford has lauded new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim for revolutionizing the team’s mentality since taking charge. Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag during the international break, has wasted no time leaving his imprint on the squad.
In his first home Premier League game, United put on a scintillating display at Old Trafford, thrashing Everton 4-0. Rashford was pivotal in the victory, netting twice, while Joshua Zirkzee added two more to round off a commanding performance.
Amorim’s Early Impact
The emphatic win against Everton marked Amorim’s third game at the helm, following a hard-fought league draw against Ipswich Town and a Europa League triumph over Bodo/Glimt. Despite his brief time in charge, Rashford believes the Portuguese manager has already sparked a positive transformation in the team’s approach and mindset.
Speaking to Sky Sports post-match, Rashford praised Amorim’s influence, particularly the renewed energy he has brought to the dressing room.
“The connection is going to build and grow the more we get used to him,” Rashford said. “He’s come in during a busy period, and hopefully, the bond between us keeps strengthening. He’s arrived with a great attitude, and that energy has filtered through to the players.”
Adapting to a New Philosophy
Rashford acknowledged the team is still adjusting to Amorim’s tactical philosophy but stressed the importance of consistency as they adapt to the new style.
“It’s a nice result,” Rashford added. “With a new coach and a new way of playing, we’re still in the learning phase. But this win gives us something to build on. We need to back up this performance with another strong showing midweek. Individually, we all want to get back to our best and then push further to improve.”
Amorim’s Pragmatic Approach
Amorim, reflecting on the victory, expressed satisfaction with the result while maintaining a focus on continued improvement.
In his post-match comments to Sky Sports, the manager said: “A new coach always brings change, but there is so much more we can improve upon. The players did a great job today, and the result was good, but we were pragmatic. We need to keep striving to get better.”
Building for the Future
The early signs under Amorim suggest a promising new era for Manchester United. His ability to galvanize the squad and inject a renewed sense of purpose has already started yielding results. However, both Rashford and Amorim are aware that sustained success will require consistent effort and the full integration of the manager’s vision.
As United navigates a demanding schedule, the focus remains on building upon these early successes and ensuring Amorim’s philosophy becomes second nature. With Rashford and his teammates buying into the new approach, the Red Devils appear poised for a brighter future.
