Marcus Rashford is of the opinion that Manchester United did not succeed in being successful in the Post-Sir Alex Ferguson era due to a lack of direction and trust in the 'principles' that have been implemented by the legendary Scottish manager.
The 27-year-old, who completed a season hose to Barcelona last month, after having passed a tumultuous recent period in his boy's club, has argued that the 'reactionary' approach to the Red Devils has hindered their ability to win the biggest prizes of football.
United is in the middle of another rebuild, fresh from their worst Premier League campaign ever, with Amorim the newest boss to try to give the club back to the glory they enjoyed during Ferguson's glittering 26-year-old government.
“Show me a successful team that just adapts,” said Rashford about the rest is a football podcast. 'When Ferguson was in charge, there were not only principles for the first team, but they were also for the entire academy.
'So you could choose players of 15 years and they would all understand the principles of playing the Manchester United Way. Every team that has been successful for a certain period has principles that mean that every coach or player who comes in must match the principles.
'Sometimes United was hungry to win, but it was reactionary. If you always change direction, you cannot expect you to win the competition. '
The departure of Rashford for the Catalan giants comes after he had made 426 performances for United, scored 138 goals and had 42 assists.
The wing player burst the stage as an 18-year-old with a fresh face by scoring twice on his Premier League debut against Arsenal in February 2016 and settled as one of the smartest talents in Europe.
Unfortunately, except for his most productive campaign in the 2022-23 season when he yielded 30 goals in all competitions, he was unable to maintain the level of consistency of his more accomplished colleagues.
A reality, he would probably claim, from the turbulent environment in Old Trafford in the last 12 years that six permanent bosses, each with different philosophies, have seen, try to bring the club back to glory.
The last fracture in his relationship with his boy's club came last December when he dropped the bomb that he is ready for a 'new challenge and the next steps'. In January Amorim said that the English star must 'change' to win back.
Rashford was then sent to Aston Villa on loan for the second half of the campaign and enjoyed a fruitful spell, scored three goals and contributed four assists.
He has revealed that his time in the United Doghouse has enabled him to get clarity about the issues of United and to have tempered the view that the club is sticking to their latest dedication to change the project.
“This is what people forget,” he added. 'We are far below where we have been United States, but if you take a step back, what I have been able to do, especially in the past six months, what do you expect?
'People say that we have been in a transition for years, but to be in a transition, you have to start with it. The actual transition has not started yet.
'When Liverpool went through this, they got [Jurgen] Klopp and stayed with him. They didn't win in the beginning. People only remember his last few years when he competed with City and winning the biggest trophies.
'To start a transition, you have to make a plan and stick to it.
'This is what I am talking about being realistic about what your situation is. We have had so many different managers, ideas and strategies to win that you end up in no one's country. '
When asked whether the situation at the Old Trafford hurts, he replied: 'Yes, 100 percent. But not only as a player but as a fan. '
United responded to their worst Premier League campaign by splashing the money on the additions of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko for a combined reimbursement of more than £ 200 million.
