Marcus Rashford praised his teammates despite not being included in the squad for Manchester United's match against Manchester City. Along with Alejandro Garnacho, Rashford was absent from the team that faced City at the Etihad. However, the team managed to secure a 2-1 victory with late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo.
United's manager Ruben Amorim clarified that Rashford and Garnacho's absence was not due to any disciplinary or injury issues. Instead, it was a result of various factors such as training, attitude, and behavior at the club. Despite not being on the field, Rashford showed his support for the team by sharing a picture of Diallo's goal celebration on his Instagram, captioning it with "Yesssssssss! Love it lads ❤️❤️."
Prior to the game, both Rashford and Garnacho trained with the team, but were ultimately left out of the squad. Amorim explained his decision, stating that it was important to communicate the reason behind it and that there is always a chance for them to earn their place back if they prove themselves deserving.
The manager emphasized the importance of various aspects such as training, performance, teamwork, and personal conduct in the club's overall context. He stated that these standards need to be set high, especially during a time of change within the team. Amorim also highlighted the team's ability to achieve victory even without certain players, proving that their togetherness is what ultimately leads to success.
Reiterating that it was not a disciplinary issue, Amorim stressed the significance of small details and the need for players to continuously improve. He mentioned trying different methods to bring out the best in players like Rashford, but ultimately it comes down to their performance in training and games. As a manager, he has the responsibility to choose players based on their overall ability and contribution to the team.
Amorim's decision to leave out Rashford and Garnacho was justified as United emerged victorious against Manchester City, managed by the renowned Pep Guardiola. The manager also clarified that the team's performance is what matters, not just individual talent or disciplinary issues. He encouraged the players to continue working hard and striving for improvement, as every week brings a new opportunity for them to prove themselves. Ultimately, it's the small details and overall performance that determine a player's place in the team.
