BREAKING NEWS ‼️ “I don’t usually give individual praise, but selling this player is one of the worst decisions I’ve seen in my career. Amorim is definitely going to regret this in the future,” Kevin De Bruyne criticized Ruben Amorim for putting a Manchester United player, who many believe is a future Ballon d’Or contender, up for sale.
Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford has been cautioned about his potential dream move to Barcelona after Hansi Flick disciplined two players for repeated lateness.
Since taking over in the summer, Flick has guided Barcelona to third place in La Liga and on the brink of an automatic Champions League Last 16 spot. As Barcelona seeks reinforcements for the second half of the campaign, Rashford has emerged as a target. The English forward is reportedly ready to leave Manchester United after a challenging two years, marked by clashes with previous managers over lateness, nightlife, and inconsistent training standards.
Flick’s strict disciplinary approach could pose a challenge for Rashford if such issues persist. This week, Flick dropped goalkeeper Iñaki Peña for the Supercopa de España semi-final against Athletic Club due to repeated tardiness. Peña, who has become the first-choice keeper following Marc-André ter Stegen’s injury, was replaced by former Arsenal star Wojciech Szczesny as a disciplinary measure.
Flick explained the decision, stating, “It’s the third time Peña and Koundé were late. You know I never discuss the starting eleven, but Szczesny played well, and Peña had a great first half of the season. However, being on time is crucial. They are professionals. It’s non-negotiable.”
Peña’s potential benching for the upcoming final against Real Madrid serves as a warning to Rashford, highlighting Flick’s strict expectations. If Rashford joins Barcelona, he will need to align with Flick’s standards to avoid similar disciplinary actions.
In a related development, Kevin De Bruyne has publicly criticized Ruben Amorim’s decision to sell a Manchester United player believed to be a future Ballon d’Or winner. Although De Bruyne did not name the player, his comments suggest Amorim might regret the sale.
As Rashford contemplates his next career move, his ability to adapt to Flick’s disciplined environment could be crucial for his success at Barcelona. His potential transfer represents both an opportunity for a fresh start and a significant challenge in meeting the high expectations at the Catalan club.
