Head coach of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, has given a damn public dressing by Marcus Rashford – claiming that he would rather put the club's goalkeeper on the bank than the attacker because of effort.
Rashford was again omitted from the game day team of United for the 1-0 win over Fulham, in which Amorim's side scored through the bent strike of Lisandro Martinez – their only shot on goal.
The international English international has not been in a Premier League competition for United in almost two months and Amorim says that Rashford does not give the attitude of someone “gives the maximum every day”.
With a week to go until the transfer window closes from January, Amorim said: “If things don't change, I will not change” with regard to the status of Rashford in the United Squad.
“It is always the same reason: the training, the way I see a football player in life. It is every day, every detail,” Amorim said in his press conference after the match in Craven Cottage.
“If things don't change, I won't change. It is the same situation for every player, if you do the maximum and the right things, we can use every player.
“You can see on the couch, we miss a little pace on the couch. But I would say [Man Utd goalkeeper coach Jorge] Vital for a player who does not give the maximum every day. “
The coach of the United goalkeeper Coach Vital, who moved to Old Trafford next to Amorim in November, is 63 years old.
Amorim: Man Utd misses pace and power in advance, we have problem objectives
Amorim's comments about Rashford came after the United Baas gave his team to still have a problem with scoring goals this season – and that his team misses “Tempo and Power in advance”.
In Craven Cottage on Sunday, United had to wait 42 minutes for their first shot for goal – a tame Matthijs de Ligt Half Chance – and could also not score open play in the first half for the 12th Premier League match in a row.
Now that Rasmus Hojlund has left close to the hour after making little impact and his replacement Joshua Zirkzee that touches the ball only eight times in the remaining half hour, Amorim admits that there is room for improvement in his forward line.
Asked if the scoring of goals is a problem for his team, Amorim told TNT Sports: “I think so. Even in the second half we wanted to change something, we miss some pace and power beforehand.
“But it is what it is. We have to have ball makers, more opportunities. We struggle a lot in these details. But winning helps a lot to improve.”
Asked if he expects extra help from the remaining week of the transfer window, Amorim replied: “We must be careful. Even the rules here we have to follow the rules.
“We did that [transfer] Errors in the past, we can't do it now. We are aimed at improving the team, let's take a look. Let's concentrate on the players we have and concentrate on the next game. “
