When the shit hits the fan, and they've got the wrong man, that's Amorim!

If the reported salary is true…I guess he’s off to the Arabian Peninsula.

Yeah, this was my first thought honestly.

One Trick Camel does not have the same ring to it as One Trick Pony though… Juve or someone will try and get him on the never never, with Ratcliffe having to pay 90% of his wages to off-load him.
Amorim might see getting rid as a statement of intent in sorting out the poor dressing room culture. If Rashford does go, he won’t be on his own, as others will be following him out the exit door also

Rashford will go, but unless it is to Saudi or someone like that, Man Utd will pay, or greatly subsidize his wages. Good.

I think Garnacho will go too. Atletico might be interested.

Yeah I can see Garnacho having a number of suitors I think there is potential to be a decent player in a European league.

Marcus Rashford ‘sent home by Man Utd’ before telling Ruben Amorim he wants a transfer

Marcus Rashford was sent home from Manchester United training on Monday after being axed by Ruben Amorim for the Manchester derby and has admitted he wants to leave the club

Marcus Rashford was sent home from training after being axed by Ruben Amorim - before publicly confessing that he wants to leave Manchester United.

The out-of-form forward, who has been with the club since he was just seven-years-old, is planning for a future away from Old Trafford after being brutally dropped by his new manager against Manchester City on Sunday.

Amorim made a bold statement by excluding both Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from the squad that faced off in the derby, blaming subpar behaviour and attitude as he strives to stamp his authority as United’s new boss.

AFTER BIGGING THE NEW MANAGER UP AS SOME SORT OF RUTHLESS TASKMASTER… THE ARTICLE ALSO INCLUDES THIS THROWAWAY LINE NEAR THE END…

Following a health check at the club’s Carrington training base on Monday, Rashford was sent home due to suffering from a fever,

So chances were, he was coming down with the flu or something at the weekend.

I mean, I think he does need to move away for his own good, but they really do like to put their own little dramas on it.

He turned up with as fever, so was sent home to prevent it spreading to the rest of the squad

Sir Jim has reported just dropped another 100m to increase his ownership stake in Utd. That’s another 50 employees getting sacked this week to cover those costs.

I think he’s being played like a fiddle by the Glazers. And to be fair, that’s a family that looks like they know how to do a ho-down, so it’s to be expected they can play the fiddle.

They have played a blinder. They continue to rake in the dough, only now, they don’t actually have to get involved with it. At all. Sir Jim can have the headache of trying to run the operation and make them competitive again, but he doesn’t hold the real power.

And if and when someone from the Middle East offers the Glazers a price they can’t say no to, they will cash in. But a minority stakeholder to enrich them, and do all the work, and take the flak?

Yee-ha. Playing him like a fiddle.

It’s an astonishing position they have created for themselves. Accept large wads of cash to stand aside and let someone else do the work, and each time he fucks up he decides he needs to fork out another 100m or so to gain a greater level of control.

Appear to be turning another corner versus Spurs.

Martinez is a comedy CB. I just dont understand the people last year arguing that he had been a success. He is decent on the ball and is comfortable going around kicking people, but ask him to defend, in any situation, and he’s lost.

Troy Deeney is a prick, but his view of the game, with all that awful keeping, is that today was the official end of Anthony’s career and whereever Rashford ends up they should put Anthony on the same plane as him just get rid of him :joy:

Hard to argue with that take.

Carra…

I think a worry for United fans is Lisandro Martinez. I didn’t think he’d play well in a back four because he’s small, but he had a really good first season.

In some ways you’d think he’d be suited to a back three, he can step out on his left foot and he’s got two big defenders next to him. But I don’t think he’s looked as comfortable since Amorim came in. He had a really poor night.

“because he’s small”

Haha
