Amorim Says He’d Rather Pick 63-Year-Old Coach Over Rashford

CUD Wontumi0 CommentsSports
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has suggested he’d rather give a place on the bench to his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach instead of Marcus Rashford because of a perceived lack of effort. The England forward has not been involved in a matchday squad for United for six weeks and he was left out once again for Sunday’s 1-0 win at Fulham in the Premier League. With the transfer window closing on 3 February, it is unclear what the future holds for Rashford, who Amorim criticised for not showing the attitude of someone “giving the maximum every day”. “It’s always the same reason –…
