Amorim’s reaction to substitutions revealed end of ‘big talent’ era at Man United | OneFootball

Manchester United have embarked on a new chapter that could be without one of their biggest stars.

Marcus Rashford dropped a bombshell on Tuesday regarding his immediate future at United.

Ruben Amorim confirmed he is happy for Rashford to stay and considers him a ‘big talent‘.

Amorim handled the tricky situation carefully, and his response was measured.

However, his actions on the pitch suggest that he may be willing to part with the academy star.

The England international was replaced by Rasmus Hojlund in the 56th minute of the Europa League clash against Viktoria Plzen.

He was the first of five substitutions Amorim made that evening.

Journalist Samuel Luckhurst revealed that Amorim acknowledged the four other substitutes but not Rashford.

The forward was also omitted from the squad to face Manchester City.

Rising through the ranks at the club and missing such a key encounter would likely have left a bitter taste for Rashford, who has always been seen as a homegrown talent with immense potential.

It is unclear whether he will be involved in the match against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday evening.

Rashford’s future seems increasingly uncertain, and many fans are starting to wonder if it’s time for him to move on.

If he doesn’t fit the style of football that Amorim wants his players to play, moving on to another club may well be the best option for all involved.

Both Rashford and United would benefit from a fresh start, although it may be a painful divorce.
