Was it difficult for even teammates to accept. Key defender Diogo Dalot (25) delivered a strong warning to Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford, whose form is falling increasingly. It is pointed out that Rashford's decline in form is due to lack of training and lazy attitude.
The Sun, a British media outlet, reported on the 17th (Korean time) 'Dalot issued a warning to Rashford, which is shockingly falling' Dalot said "If you're going to succeed at this club, you've got to go through the pain." It was direct advice on the team's environment that has changed since the appointment of Coach Huveng Amorim.
Amorim is cold-hearted. It came from behind to win 2-1 in the 16th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 16th. For this victory, coach Amorim made a strong move to exclude Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, who judged that they lacked form.
It was a game that showed coach Amorim's principle that he only uses players who are currently in the best form and help them win, regardless of the value of the player's name.

This message is directed at Rashford and other teammates in the team who are struggling in a swamp of sluggishness even though it is not due to injuries. This means that you have to be aware of your position and stand up hard.
In fact, there is a player who has used Dalot's message as the driving force for the revival. It was Harry Maguire, a veteran defender who was once the most outspoken and resentful of fans in the team. Maguire was almost ruled out under the previous Erik ten Hag.
However, since Amorim's appointment, he has revived as the core of the new three-back system. In the match against Manchester City, he also set the stage for the team's victory by tying the opponent's ace, Elling Holan, to perfection. Coach Amorim also said after the game that Maguire is the perfect defender when we use three-backs. I think I'm doing better at the center of the three-back. We have to fight hard when Man City send a long pass towards the striker (Holan), but Maguire did it perfectly" he once praised.
Thanks to this revival, Maguire is more likely to be accompanied by Manchester United for longer. Maguire left Leicester City to join Manchester United in the 2019-2020 season. At that time, the transfer fee was 87 million euros (about 131 billion won), the highest transfer fee ever for a defender.
Maguire has a one-year extension remaining for his contract to expire next summer. If this kind of performance continues, not only the one-year extension clause is triggered, but the possibility of a new contract renewal is also expected.
