Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville applauded Amorim's decision to exclude Rashford and winger Alejandro Garnacho from the list at the 16th round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 16th (Korea time).
"I don't know about the long-term future of the two players," Neville said on the sports broadcaster `Sky Sports.' "What is clear is that Amorim mentioned exchanges with teammates and mentioned standards. He is giving us a 'clue'. A clue that he has been depressed and has not played his part on the training ground for the past few days."
He would then have judged that `I cannot accept' the standards at the training site. a good decision."
As for the reason why Rashford and Garnacho were excluded from the game against Manchester City, Amorim said, `I have something important to me. Training performance, performance, dress, meals, and the way you interact with your team members are important. When we want to change a lot, when people in our club lose their jobs, we have to raise the bar really high"Today our team proved that we can win if we play together, even if we exclude someone from the squad."."
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane told Sky Sports"The two players have been terrible lately. So the choice to leave out the two players is not surprising. Now let's see how Rashford reacts."
