Ruben Amorim Has Made Peace With Marcus Rashford?
JAKARTA - The conflict between Manchester United Manager Ruben Amoram and Marcus Rashford is still a hot topic of conversation.
The striker has dropped the list of the Red Devils squad in the last three games.
There was no Rashford in victory over Manchester City (2-1), defeat to Tottenham Hotspur (3-4) in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, and defeat to Bournemouth (0-3) at Old Trafford.
In fact, the Amorism supported by the Manchester United Board of Directors did not guarantee that Rashford would engage on a Boxing Day trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers headquarters on December 27, 2024.
This raises speculation that the product of the Red Devils academy can be sold when the winter transfer window in January 2025 opens.
However, the latest Amorism hints that he and Rashford have no problem. He also defended the attacker that his comments intending to leave Old Trafford were influenced by others.
"It's a difficult situation. I understand that these players are surrounded by a lot of people, making choices that aren't the first idea of the player himself."
"I've always been here to help Marcus as another player. I have to do what I have to do."
"They chose to do an interview because it wasn't just Marcus. I understand that. As a coach, I focus on your performance and how you train."
"The rest, it's better for me and the club to deal with it when the time comes," Amorim told Sky Sports.

Amoritism does offer peace with Rashford. He insisted that he would forget the player's interview.
"Right now I'm focused on improving Marcus and we need talented players like Marcus."
"I forgot the interview now and saw what I saw on the pitch," said the Portuguese coach.
The chances of Marcus Rashford staying at Manchester United have grown recently. In addition to a cooling statement, the 27-year-old is still included in the 2025 calendar photo of the Red Devils
The fans are still confident that Rashford will still stay at Old Trafford after seeing the calendar for 12 pounds.
However, voices from outside Manchester United urged Rashford to leave the club to remain heard. Call it the legend of the Red Devils, Gary Neville.
"He may have to leave and the club wants him to leave," said Neville.
So far, Manchester United has rated Rashford at 40 million. The attacker has also been linked to a number of clubs, such as Barcelona and several Premier League clubs.
It remains to be seen whether Rashford will return to play for Manchester United in the near future.
The Red Devils still have two Premier League games before closing 2024, namely against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United.
Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford has scored just four goals in 15 league games this season.
He is a product of Manchester United's academy who joined at the age of seven.
His comments in an interview with journalist Henry Winter earlier this month have drawn controversy.
It's just that, keep in mind, maybe Rashford is upset that he is no longer included in the list of players in the Manchester Derby. However, in another comment, he is eager to continue with Manchester United.
"For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next step. When I leave, I won't feel annoyed."
"You're not going to hear negative comments from me about Manchester United. It's me as a person."
"If I knew the situation was bad, I wouldn't make it worse. I've seen how other players left in the past. I don't want to be that kind of person."
"When I leave, I will make a statement, and that's from me. It's really sad not to be involved in the Manchester Derby."
"However, it has happened, we won the match. So, let's continue," said Rashford.
