Amorim Says His 63-Year-Old Coach Has Better Chance Of Playing Than Rashford

Ruben Amorim, the manager of Manchester United, thinks the 63-year-old goalkeeper coach has a better chance of making his team than the underachieving striker Marcus Rashford.

Rashford, an England international, was once again left out of the United squad for the 1-0 win at Fulham on Sunday despite not playing for United since December 12.

Amorim argued that Jorge Vital would have been a better choice if United had been struggling to advance against Fulham.

“Today on the bench we missed a bit of pace to change the game but I prefer it like this, I will put (in) Vital before I put (in) a player who doesn’t give the maximum every day, so I will not change in that department”, said Amorim.

He added: “It’s always the same reason (why Rashford is not playing).

” The reason is the training, what I think a footballer should do in training, in life and every day. If things don’t change, I will not change.

“It’s the same situation for every player. We can use every player if you make the best use of them.

Despite the impasse between club and player, the 27-year-old Rashford still took to social media to congratulate his team-mates for their 1-0 victory.

“Congratulations on the win lads”, he posted on Instagram.

In the 78th minute, Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno was the only one who could have scored for United at Craven Cottage thanks to defender Lisandro Martinez’ long-range deflected effort.
