Ruben Amorim, the manager of Manchester United, has made a decision to include Marcus Rashford in the squad for Monday night's game against Newcastle. After being left out for four consecutive games, Rashford is back in the mix, with Amorim explaining that the absence of other players has opened up a spot for him. The forward had missed out on the team's recent victories over Manchester City and losses to Tottenham, Bournemouth, and Wolves.
With a string of defeats and key players like Bruno Fernandes, Manuel Ugarte, and Mason Mount out due to suspension and injury, Rashford has been given a chance to prove himself once again. He will start the game on the bench and will be eager to impress Amorim with his skills and contributions to the team. When asked about his decision to include Rashford, Amorim simply stated that it was a matter of selection and the availability of players.
In the starting line-up, Rasmus Hojlund will lead the attack, supported by Joshua Zirkzee and Amad Diallo. Rashford's return has also allowed Amorim to have Christian Eriksen and Casemiro in the midfield, with Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot on the wings. The backline will consist of Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, and Lisandro Martinez, in front of Andre Onana. However, despite the team's struggles and only winning four out of his first ten games in charge, Amorim remains committed to his preferred 3-4-3 formation.
He firmly believes that sticking to his tactics is crucial for his success as a coach and will not make any changes based on the results. Amorim acknowledges that adapting and winning games is important, but he will not compromise his ideas and philosophy for the sake of success. He was hired because of his unique approach, and he will not stray from it, especially during difficult times. He also emphasized the importance of having a compact team and being vigilant during set pieces, as these moments can make or break a game.
