“I dont think Marcus Rashford wants to play for the club anymore. When I called him, he told that he won’t play any match here again and this is why he said so. I respected his decision as he is not part of my team anymore”-BREAKING NEWS as Ruben Amorim confirms that Marcus Rashford will not play for Manchester United anymore after what Manchester United attacker said to him.

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has laid out his vision for Marcus Rashford’s next steps after the forward was left out of the squad for their Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Earlier in the week, Rashford openly acknowledged his readiness for a “new challenge,” fueling speculation about his future. Speaking to journalist Henry Winter, the 27-year-old said:

“If I know a situation is already bad, I’m not going to make it worse. I’ve seen how other players have left in the past, and I don’t want to be that person. When I leave, I’ll make a statement, and it will be from me.”

Rashford, who has scored seven goals in 24 appearances this season, was also omitted from the matchday squad for United’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Manchester City on December 15.

Addressing his decision to drop Rashford for the City clash, Amorim reiterated his commitment to upholding high standards at a club of Manchester United’s stature.

“This club demands excellence. Marcus is a phenomenal talent, but talent must be matched with consistent high performance. My focus is on helping him reach those levels,” Amorim said.

The United manager also mentioned plans to “try different things” to help Rashford rediscover his peak form. Despite the recent turbulence, Amorim dismissed suggestions of a permanent break between the club and player.

After United’s 4-3 loss to Spurs, Amorim was asked if it might be best for Rashford and the club to part ways. He firmly rejected that notion, stating:

“Tomorrow, he will train with the team, preparing for the next game. He’s a Manchester United player. Everyone has a future here.”

When pressed about the challenges of managing such a “hard situation,” Amorim emphasized a balanced approach.

“If I give it too much importance, it makes headlines. If I downplay it, it lowers the club’s standards,” he explained. “I have to find the right balance, but my priority is the team—not one individual. The focus has to remain on our performances and results.”

Amorim’s comments underline his belief that Rashford can still play a vital role for United, provided he meets the club’s exacting demands. The forward’s response to these challenges will likely shape his immediate future at Old Trafford.
