BREAKING NEWS: “Ruben Amorim is not a good coach. He prioritizes and plays the players he loves rather than those who can truly contribute to the team’s success. Both Marcus Rashford and I are the kind of players any manager would need to win and dominate games”- Manchester United Star Alejandro Garnacho lemants.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has made a surprising call by leaving Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho out of the squad for the match against Manchester City. The club has not offered any explanation for their exclusion, stating only that neither player was named on the bench.
Reports indicate that both Rashford and Garnacho trained on Sunday morning and are not carrying any injuries, suggesting that Amorim’s decision is purely tactical.
Amorim has played down the significance of the move, describing it as a routine selection choice. “We assess everything — training, performance, and how players interact with teammates,” he explained. “This is simply a matter of selection.”
Rashford’s exclusion comes amid growing uncertainty over his future at the club. Recent reports suggest United are open to selling him in the January transfer window, with valuations reportedly as low as £40 million.
Meanwhile, Garnacho has been linked to accusations of a dressing room leak, though his brother has denied any involvement. The full starting lineup surfaced on social media before the match, though it remains unclear whether this was a coincidence.
Amorim’s decision to omit both players has sparked considerable discussion, and its impact on United’s performance against Manchester City remains to be seen.
