Marcus Rashford ‘had points’ with each ex-Man Utd supervisor amid Ruben Amorim exclusion
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford reportedly ‘had issues’ with all of his ex-managers at Old Trafford amid uncertainty about his future under Ruben Amorim
Marcus Rashford ‘had issues’ with every previous Manchester United manager amid uncertainty around his future at Old Trafford.
The 27-year-old has not been included in any of United’s last four match day squads, the first of which was the derby day win over rivals Manchester City at the Etihad. It was a bold call by new manager Ruben Amorim to drop Rashford for the clash at the Etihad, but one that paid off.
However, United have lost their last three games. They were beaten 4-3 in the Carabao Cup by Spurs, before losing to Bournemouth and Wolves. While Rashford is open to a “new challenge”, it remains unclear whether or not he will be at Old Trafford after the January transfer window.
And speaking to talkSPORT, ‘United We Stand’ editor Andy Mitten has revealed Rashford has “had issues” with his previous managers at Old Trafford, which includes Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ralf Rangnick and Erik ten Hag.
Mitten said: “I do think that the manager has had a big say here, I think he is doing it his way. He’s a smiling assassin. He’s a displinarian. Every previous manager has had issues with Marcus Rashford. I’ve spoken to them, I know them. They’ve told me in confidence going back years and years and years.
“And then, Marcus confounds those opinions because he has a really good season. From his perspective – and he does have a perspective here – there’s not a lot of support for him I’ve got to say among Manchester United fans.
They played at Wolves a couple of days ago, it was thoroughly miserable there but if I go back to Wolves at the start of February, I was outside that away end and couldn’t find a single Manchester United fan that wanted him to stay. When he scored after three or four minutes, those very same fans were singing Marcus Rashford’s name.”
He added: “Marcus Rashford is not celebrated by United fans as he was. His stock is clearly very, very low.”
Rashford inked a bumper new deal back in 2023 following his 30-goal 2022/23 campaign under Erik ten Hag, a contract that would be difficult for any club to take on when factoring in a transfer fee, adding to the uncertainty around his future.
Mitten added: “The reality, the economics of it, they just do not add up. I don’t know what the outcome is going to be, he signed a huge contract and a lot of them have signed huge contracts.”
