It's already broken, but even with Amorim, Bournemouth disaster, Rashford can't stand it...Excluding 3G in a row, Manchester United legend's time is up
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim declined to comment on Marcus Rashford's return despite the crushing defeat.
Manchester United legend Gary Neville claimed on the 23rd (Korean time) that Rashford may have already played his last game at Manchester United. Manchester United suffered a crushing 0-3 defeat against Bournemouth in the 17th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Old Trafford in Manchester on the 22nd.
Manchester United, which had 22 points, failed to make a mid-range leap. It remained in 13th place. Bournemouth, on the other hand, rose to fifth place with 28 points.
The controversial Rashford was absent against Bournemouth. He was excluded from the 16th round of the EPL against Manchester City on the 16th. It wasn't an injury. He was withdrawn for lack of training. Rashford missed his third consecutive game following the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Tottenham on the 20th.
Neville said of Rashford's absence "This is no longer the news of the big team. It was a surprise last weekend, but now it's kind of a norm and a pattern"Excluding him for the third straight game is that something is definitely wrong or most likely wrong.'

And it's not a good situation for Rashford's future and for Manchester United to keep him. I suspect that this journey is heading towards an inevitable end. It's a distraction for the director. It's very likely he will have to leave and it's clear the club wants to leave him. It probably works for both sides."
Rashford also predicted that a breakup with Manchester United could be better. Neville says "Jadon Sancho is better off going to Chelsea, Scott McTominay has not been sluggish but he is doing better going to Napoli. So Rashford might think it's the right choice for him as well."
Coach Amorim once again said it was not a disciplinary action against Rashford. He says "It's my decision, it's my choice, and it will be." I want to see the best of the players and try different things with other players. That's where I'm focused" Asked about Rashford's return against Wolverhampton on the 27th, "It's up to him. I shall see the situation,' he declined to give an immediate answer.
Rashford, who was born in Manchester, is a goalkeeper who formed a relationship with Manchester United at the age of seven. He made his first team debut in February 2016 when he was 18. He is in his 10th season after scoring two goals on the first stage.

He has established himself as Manchester United's savior with 17 goals and 5 assists in 35 EPL games in the 2022-2023 season, his first season. However, the form of the 2023-2024 season has fallen sharply. He only scored seven goals and had two assists in 33 matches in the EPL. He has four goals and one assist in 15 league games this season. Concerns continue to be raised in the privacy of not being able to concentrate on football.
Rashford recently made a bombshell remark. When asked about the future, he became controversial when he said, `I'm ready for a new challenge.' Amorim immediately pointed out that Rashford's remarks were wrong. He pointed out "If I were him (Rashford), I would probably have spoken to the coach first"
Rashford also said "I won't make it worse if I know the situation is already bad. I saw how other players left in the past. I don't want to be that kind of person. "If I leave, I'll make my own entrance."
And even if I leave, I don't feel bad about the team. There will be no negative comments about Manchester United either. That's who I am." `I personally think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next step," he added.
Rashford scored 138 goals in 426 appearances in all tournaments in 10 seasons. Although it was always protected by the 'Sunggol Youth', the current atmosphere is different again. Colleagues are also turning their backs.
