Amorim’s Plea: Why Marcus Rashford Should Stay at Manchester United
In the world of football, few topics stir up as much conversation as the future of a star player. This time, it’s Marcus Rashford, the Manchester United forward, who finds himself at the center of speculation. Rashford, who has been with the club for two decades, has hinted at a desire to seek a “new challenge,” leaving fans and pundits alike wondering what lies ahead for the talented 27-year-old.
Ruben Amorim, the current manager of Manchester United, has made it clear that he wants Rashford to remain at Old Trafford. In a recent news conference, Amorim expressed his belief that Rashford can find the challenge he seeks right where he is. “We have here a new challenge,” Amorim stated. “It’s a tough one. For me, it’s the biggest challenge in football because we are in a difficult situation and I already said this is one of the biggest clubs in the world. This is a really new challenge and the biggest one. I really hope all my players are ready for this new challenge.”
Rashford’s comments about seeking a new challenge came shortly after he was dropped from the squad for the 2-1 derby win over Manchester City. The decision to leave him out of the squad was a significant one, and Rashford admitted to journalist Henry Winter that it was “disheartening” to be left out at the Etihad Stadium. Despite this setback, Rashford maintains that when he leaves, it will be with “no hard feelings.”
Amorim, who has yet to speak directly with Rashford since the player’s day off on Tuesday, will decide after Wednesday’s training whether Rashford will be part of the group traveling to London for the Carabao Cup quarterfinal against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday. The situation is similar for Alejandro Garnacho, who was also dropped from the squad at the Etihad but is available to face Spurs after training on Sunday and Monday.

- He was recently dropped from the squad for a derby match against Manchester City.
- Amorim believes Rashford can find a new challenge at Old Trafford.

Amorim emphasized the importance of training and performance in his decision-making process. “It’s the same situation for all the other players,” he said. “If they train well then I have to make a choice. We will see at the end of training.”
He continued, “I want the best of each one of them [the players] and that is the key point for me. I just want to win and to help the team be better. We are better with Marcus Rashford, that is simple and we will try different things to push Marcus to the best levels he showed in the past. And that’s all.”
Amorim’s comments highlight the value he places on Rashford’s talent and potential contribution to the team. “This kind of club needs big talent and he’s a big talent, so he just needs to perform at the highest level and that is my focus. I just want to help Marcus,” Amorim concluded.
The situation remains fluid, and the football world will be watching closely to see how it unfolds. Will Rashford stay and rise to the challenge at Manchester United, or will he seek new horizons elsewhere? Only time will tell, but for now, Amorim’s message is clear: he wants Rashford to stay and be a part of Manchester United’s future.
