Marcus Rashford and the exploits of Antony since leaving Manchester United on loan raises questions about the leadership of Ruben Amorim and the state of the club in general
The form of Marcus Rashford and Antony since leaving Manchester United has asked questions about the environment at the club. Rashford was completely frozen by Ruben Amorim before he sealed a loan movement to Aston Villa at the end of the January transfer window.
The 27-year-old has looked a player since his switch to the quarter-finalists of the Champions League and the semi-finalists of FA Cup and redeemed his place in the English team. In the meantime, Antony, another player from the grace under Amorim, has played on loan at Real Betis, where there is already a shouting for him to permanently sign.
The Brazilian says it is too early to think about his long -term future, but says that moving to Spain “is the best decision I have made”. Rashord and Antony participate in a growing list of players who have excited since he left Old Trafford. Anthony Elanga, the score of the only goal against United for Nottingham Forest in midweek, is another example.
When he recently asked why players had difficulty performing before and during his term of office, Amorim suggested that the pressure of playing for a club like United is too great for some. However, the excuse has been rejected by many experts, including Gary Lineker, who pointed out that Rashford previously performed at a high level in his united career, including scoring 30 goals in the 2022/23 season.
The football podcast is speaking on his rest, Lineker replied: “I don't buy that, I'm sorry. If you play at a big football club, you must be able to handle the pressure to be there in the first place.
“People like Rashford, they did it very well at certain times to prove that it is not that. I just think it is seeping down. The club gets a bit of a mess and it is everywhere in the store.”
Breathtakingly one season, anonymously the following, Rashford's career continues to be astonished. After a forgetful last season and half at United, it seems to be on an upward turn in Villa again.
Former Liverpool and Villa defender Stephen Warnock has offered a theory why Rashford makes an impression under Unai Emery.
“With that Manchester United team I don't think he knew where to play,” Warnock said on Sky Sports. “I don't think he (Amorim) knew how he could get the best out of Marcus Rashford. This is a man (Emery) who looked at him and gone,” I will get the best of you. “
Warnock emphasized Emery's ability to improve players in the training area and to help them better understand the game. He added: “His (Rashford's) understanding of the game gets better.
“I viewed this guy (Emery) on the training field and he is phenomenal. You actually see that players realize:” Wow, yes, I didn't realize that. “
With Amorim's favorite 3-4-3 formation that does not play for the strengths of neither Rashford nor Antony, it seems best for all parties that they secure permanent outputs this summer. But it cannot harm the Portuguese coach to do a further inspection of what the growing trend of outcasts can cause elsewhere.
