According to a report, the relationship of Marcus Rashford and Ruben Amorim was only a few days in the term of office of the Man United Manager.
Rashford has been effectively banned from the Red Devils team since a Bombshell interview in December, where he said he was ready for a new challenge away from Old Trafford.
He played none of United's last 12 games and it has now been revealed when Amorim's patience was on with the 27-year-old.
Their acid relationship can be traced to the days prior to the 4-0 victory of United on Everton on December 1 – Amorim's third match – according to the Sun.
In a heated conversation before the game, Rashford was reportedly accused of a night out by the Portuguese boss, and the interaction would have followed the manager who questioned his professionalism.
Rashford denied the accusations and was unclear that he had done nothing wrong.
“Marcus was called in by Amorim who said he believed he had violated the discipline by leaving,” a source reportedly said the sun.
“Marcus denied it and was adamant that he had done nothing wrong. He asked the manager to show him proof that he had been out and said something along the lines of: “Do you call me a liar?”
“Their relationship has never been recovered, and it is difficult to see what it will ever be like now.”
The source also claimed that Rashford is of the opinion that he was 'picked', with the player who is said to feel Amorim under orders from Man United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe to ensure that he leaves the club to his £ 325,000 per Loading weekly wages.
Rashford had fallen last year by the then man United Baas Erik ten Hag for a FA Cup match against Newport County on January 28, 2024, after he was seen in Belfast -before he said he was too sick to train.
He was reportedly confronted with a fine of a maximum of £ 650,000 for the incident – two weeks in wages.
Before that, Rashford was also criticized by Ten Hag in October 2023, after he was seen parties on his 26th birthday hours after losing Manchester City in the Derby.
Last week Amorim astonished an amazing excavation on Rashford and said that he would rather play his 63-year-old goalkeeper coach Jorge Vital than the restless United Star.
“It is always the same reason,” Amorim said after United's 1-0 victory over Fulham on January 26.
'The reason is the training. The way I see what a football player has to do every day in life, in life. If things don't change, I won't change.
'You can see it on the couch today. We needed a little pace to change the game to move some pieces, but I prefer it.
'I will be vital before I put a player who does not give the maximum. I will not change in that department. '
Despite their reported issues behind the scenes, Amorim has urged that United is a better team with Rashford, and that he would welcome the Academy talent talent back to the team if he changed his ways in training.
“Our team should be so much better with Rashford, but Rashford should change,” Amorim said on Thursday prior to the 2-0 victory of United on Steaua Bucharest.
'If he changes, we would welcome more than a talent like Rashford – and we need him. We need goals, we need one against one, we need a threat in the last third part.
'But at the moment I think it is really clear that we have to set some standards, that's all. We wait for Marcus if he really wants it, really bad. That's the only thing. '
A day later, Amorim seemed to take a thin desired excavation in Rashford by praising Alejandro Garnacho for his shift in attitude on the training ground.
Garnacho and Rashford were both dropped for the victory of United against Man City in December after Amorim said he was unhappy with their attitude in training, but the first apparently returned to the manager's good books.
'He [Garnacho] Immediately changed since that match from City, “said Amorim, his choice of words that immediately made comparisons with his comments about Rashford 24 hours earlier. 'The way he understands things and understands that I just want to help him. I just want to win games.
“The approach when we talked to him. He turned into everything. The way he recovers. He understands that sometimes I am another coach, which I demand in my own way and sometimes it is difficult to make the first impact. Because he is a different kind of coach.
“He understands that he is never in a bad way. It's always for him. But I am a different person. I think all the merit is for Garnacho. He improves and we want to keep improving with Garnacho. He understood the position, the moments of playing inside and outside. The connection with Mainoo. I think he improves a lot. '
This season Rashford has made 23 performances in all competitions for United, scored seven goals and offers three assists in those competitions.
He was reserved in January with a move from Old Trafford, after he was linked to Aston Villa, AC Milan, Dortmund and an abundance of other clubs.
